Review of General Chemistry
This type of bond involves the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic bond?
This is the term for a substance that donates hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water.
What is an acid?
This part of the cell is known as the "powerhouse" because it generates most of the cell's energy.
What is the mitochondrion?
This is my name.
What is "Isaiah"?
These particles, found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus, have a negative charge.
What are electrons?
This property of water explains why it can absorb a large amount of heat before its temperature changes significantly.
What is high specific heat?
This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the number of stars on the American flag in 2005, representing the total number of states in the United States of America.
What is 50?
This type of energy is possessed by electrons due to their position relative to the nucleus, and it decreases when the electrons move closer to the nucleus.
What is potential energy?
This is the amount of heat required to convert 1 gram of a liquid into vapor without changing its temperature, and it plays a key role in regulating body temperature through sweating.
What is heat of vaporization?
If the cell were a factory, this part would be the spacious warehouse, providing a space for all the machinery (organelles) to work and allowing materials to flow freely throughout the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
This is the textbook that inspired the Emmy award-winning show, Greys Anatomy.
What is Greys Anatomy?
These are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
This phenomenon occurs when water moves up through plant roots and stems, defying gravity, due to both cohesion and adhesion.
What is capillary action?
The four steps of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation, and this process.
What is the citric acid cycle?
This is the name of the main character in the Oscar-winning Pixar film Coco.
What is "Miguel"?
In electron configuration, this is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third electron shell (n=3) of an atom.
What is 18?
In liquid water, the average number of hydrogen bonds each water molecule forms is approximately this decimal value.
What is 3.4?
According to the central dogma of molecular biology, the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to this molecule, which then guides the synthesis of proteins.
What is mRNA (messenger RNA)?
Listen to this riddle.
What is your age?
