2

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


3

70% Answer Correctly

third

first

second

fourth


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


5

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down fats

breaking down starches

breaking down proteins
