What is the function of the nucleus?
- It controls and regulates the activities in a cell.
- It reproduces new cells.
- It protects other cells.
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. It controls and regulates the activities in a cell.

Explanation

The nucleus is the control center of a cell, responsible for regulating all cellular activities, including growth, metabolism, and reproduction. It contains the cell's genetic material, DNA, which provides instructions for making proteins and guides cell division. The nucleus also ensures the replication and proper distribution of DNA during cell division, maintaining genetic continuity. The nuclear membrane protects the nucleus, maintaining the integrity of the genetic material and separating it from the cytoplasm.

Emma has 2 yard sticks. She also has a 12-inch ruler. She laid them end-to-end in a line. How many feet long is the line?
- 3 Feet
- 5 Feet
- 7 Feet
- 9 Feet
Correct Answer

A. 7 Feet

Explanation

Each yardstick is 3 feet long, so two yardsticks make a total of 6 feet. A 12-inch ruler is equal to 1 foot. When laid end-to-end, the total length is 3 + 3 + 1 = 7 feet. Therefore, the length of the line made by Emma’s two yardsticks and one ruler is 7 feet.

How long is one regular term for a U.S. Representative?
- 1 year
- 2 years

Correct Answer

A. 2 years

Explanation

A regular term for a U.S. Representative is 2 years. Representatives serve shorter terms than U.S. Senators, who serve 6-year terms. This shorter term allows for more frequent elections, ensuring that the House of Representatives remains closely aligned with the changing needs and opinions of the American public. Representatives must run for re-election every two years, encouraging them to be responsive to their constituents' needs and concerns.
