These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-19,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 4 - Science - Organelles
As their name implies, organelles are subunits of a cell that
perform specific tasks, similar to the organs of the body.
Except as indicated, for each question name the organelle described.
1. This animal-cell organelle contains its own namesake DNA, which
is typically inherited matrilineally. The organelle's role in
the production of ATP leads to it being known as "the powerhouse
of the cell". Name it.
2. The body of this organelle consists mainly of stacks of
thylakoids called grana, which contain high concentrations
of a green pigment. Name this plant organelle, the main site
of photosynthesis.
After answering this question, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh
fnvq cynfgvq, jr arrq n zber fcrpvsvp nafjre. Gel ntnva.
3. The ribosomes that line one type of this organelle make it the
main site of RNA translation, while another type is responsible
for synthesizing lipids and steroids. Name this organelle that
comes in rough and smooth varieties.
4. After molecules are synthesized by the cell, they are sent to
this organelle that packages them up into vesicles and sends
them where they are needed. Name this organelle, which is
itself named for the Italian scientist that discovered it.
5. Both ribosomes and signal-recognition particles are formed in
this organelle. It is largest organelle found within the cell
nucleus, and has a name similar to it.
6. Like a similar organelle used for the same purpose, this
functional organelle's internal structure consists of "9+2"
arrangements of microtubules. Name this whip-like organelle
that is used for motion in cells like sperm.
7. Microtubules come from microtubule organisation centers,
which are found primarily from basal bodies in this organelle.
It is responsible for the creation of the mitotic spindle and
consists of two perpendicularly arranged centrioles.
8. Also called a nematocyst, this organelle holds a toxin that
is fired by a certain phylum of aquatic species. Name *either*
the organelle that holds the toxin *or* the phylum that includes
sea anemones and jellyfish.
9. Mannose-6-phosphate is used to tag proteins that are to be sent
to this organelle. Name this organelle, whose primary function
is to break down and dispose of unwanted materials.
10. While the aforementioned <answer 9> is responsible for breaking
down most materials, very-long-chain fatty acids are instead
broken down by another organelle. Name that other organelle,
whose name reflects the fact that it also reduces the molecule
H2O2.
* Game 4, Round 6 - Geography - Go South, Young Man
We give you the capital city of a US state; you name the next
*state* you would encounter if you traveled due south from it.
For example, we say Bismarck, North Dakota; you say South Dakota.
1. Carson City, Nevada.
2. Topeka, Kansas.
3. Denver, Colorado.
4. Indianapolis, Indiana.
5. Atlanta, Georgia.
6. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
7. Little Rock, Arkansas.
8. Boise, Idaho.
9. Jefferson City, Missouri.
10. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Mitochondrion. (Plural, mitochondria.) 4 for Joshua, Marc, Erland,

Chloroplast. "Plastid" was insufficiently specific. 4 for Joshua,

Cnidocyst, Cnidaria. (The C is silent.) (Also accepting cnida
or cnidarian, but not cnidoblast, which is the cell containing
the cnidocysts.)

I have no explanation.
I notice that the 'Reply' and 'Followup' buttons in
IceDove( which I use) are just beside each other.
I think I pressed the wrong button, without noticing it.
Sorry for that, I'll be more careful next time.
(It also makes me wonder if this is the first time I did this)
