Ready for College!

You Passed 8th Grade Science

Congratulations, you got 8/8 correct!

Watch out! One question has a correct answer and a MORE correct answer, and in another question they meant "neutron", not "neuron".

The hereditary information of an individual isn't located in the nuclues, which was my reason for choosing the more specific answer.

Yup, I was thinking about the tides primarily, although the nucleus vs. chromosome, and to some extent the ski question are also ambiguous.

I hoped you also gave the right answer for the neron question: ~-74mV

They meant "neutron" for sure.

And there and neurons and there are neurons - the resting membrane potential varies and in most neurons is somewhere around -60 to -80mV. The textbook number that everyone quotes is from the original work on the squid giant neuron. Why would one expect anything in biology to be so clear-cut as to demand that every neuron in every body in every species has the same potential?
