In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
ribosomes |
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.
Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?
first civilizations |
|
fossil record |
|
extinction of dinosaurs |
|
carbon dating |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
-40°F is how many °C?
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
-8 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
atmosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
geosphere |
|
lithosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
classes |
|
species |
|
kingdoms |
|
domains |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
