1

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cell wall

cytoplasm

cell membrane

nucleus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


2

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere


Solution

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).


3

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

only a cell wall

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell membrane


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


4

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

ground level

low-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


5

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

49% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

plasma

capillaries


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
