Which of the following monitor looks like a television and are normally used with non-portable computer systems?
Explanation: A CRT (or the Cathode Ray Tube) Monitor looks like a television ideally. The flat-panel monitors are thinner and lighter in comparison.
In humans, which type of cell division is responsible for producing gametes (sperm and egg cells)?
Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Which of the following is responsible for breaking down cellular waste and cellular debris?
Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
What is the main function of the nervous system?
It is an organ system that is composed of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia, and receptors. This system is responsible for creating, sending signals throughout the body and processing them, and sending the response as signals to the effective organ.
Which process allows plants to lose water vapor from their leaves, creating a pulling force that helps transport water from roots to leaves?
Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant in the form of water vapor. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via xylem. In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor and CO2 to enter the leaf for photosynthesis.
Which part of a cell is responsible for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are the important cell organelles that are involved in protein synthesis. Proteins are required for the proper functioning of the cell. Ribosomes have RNA and proteins which help in converting genetic code into proteins.
Which scientist is known for proposing the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for evolution?
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who proposed the theory of biological evolution by natural selection.
Which kingdom of organisms includes multicellular eukaryotes that obtain nutrients through absorption?
A multicellular/unicellular eukaryotic organism that obtains its food by absorbing nutrients from the environment belongs to the kingdom Fungi.
Which of the following is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body?
Hemoglobin (Heme + Globin) The protein hemoglobin is a molecule which is responsible for carrying almost all of the oxygen in the blood. It is composed of four subunits, each with a heme group plus a globin chain.
What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose?
Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Which organelle is responsible for producing energy in a eukaryotic cell?
A mitochondrion is a round to oval-shaped organelle found in the cells of almost all eukaryotic organisms. It produces energy, known as ATP, for the cell through a series of chemical reactions.
Which component of the blood is responsible for carrying oxygen to the body's cells?
Red cells contain a special protein called hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled.
What is the process by which water vapor turns directly into ice without becoming a liquid?
The opposite of sublimation is "deposition", where water vapor changes directly into ice—such a snowflakes and frost. It is not easy to actually see sublimation occurring, at least not with ice. One way to see the results of sublimation is to hang a wet shirt outside on a below-freezing day.
Which scientist formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation?
Sir Isaac Newton was born especially tiny but grew into a massive intellect and still looms large, thanks to his findings on gravity, light, motion, mathematics, and more.
What is the chemical symbol for gold?
Gold's chemical symbol AU is derived from the Latin word aurum, meaning gold. Some claim that the word aurum also means shining dawn due to its etymological ties to the word aurora, meaning dawn. The word gold comes from the old English word for yellow, geolu, which was derived from the Germanic word gulþa.
Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma Rays- Gamma Rays-have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancer cells
What causes tides on Earth?
They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. When the highest point in the wave, or the crest, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a high tide. When the lowest point, or the trough, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a low tide.
Which planet is known as the "Red Planet"?
Mars is sometimes called the Red Planet. It's red because of rusty iron in the ground. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather.
What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
What is the smallest unit of matter?
Atoms are the smallest units of matter that have all the characteristics of an element. Atoms combine to form molecules. Atoms are composed of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Which gas is responsible for the green color of leaves in plants?
Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of many plants and algae. Seen through a microscope, chlorophyll is concentrated within organisms in structures called chloroplasts – shown here grouped inside plant cells.
