This layer of gases surrounding Earth is crucial for protecting life from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
What is the ozone layer?
This is known as the phenomenon where light bends as it passes through different media.
What is refraction?
In this type of reaction, two or more substances combine to form a single product.
What is a synthesis reaction?
During this process by which cells divide to form gametes, each cell contains half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

How long is 10-15 years?
This term for the gradual decrease in biodiversity in a given ecosystem or across the planet is often linked to human activities.
What is habitat loss?
This principle, derived from quantum mechanics, states that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot both be precisely measured simultaneously.
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
This theory explains the mechanism of chemical reactions involving the formation and breaking of chemical bonds in terms of molecular orbital interactions.
What is molecular orbital theory?
This is a phenomenon where one gene affects multiple traits.
What is pleitropy?
Proteins may contain a combination of this total number of amino acids.
How many is 20?
This principle describes the reduction in the quality of an environment due to the accumulation of pollutants and the subsequent impact on ecosystems and human health.
What is environmental degradation?
This equation describes the distribution of energy among various possible states in a system in thermal equilibrium and is fundamental in statistical mechanics.
What is the Boltzmann distribution?
This concept, introduced by Gilbert Lewis, involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the Lewis dot structure?
This biologist's work on the structure of DNA led to the discovery of the double helix structure, and her name is often associated with the term “genetic blueprint.”
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
This was the first commercial genetically engineered product.

The “Tragedy of the Commons” is a theory that illustrates how shared resources are overused and depleted due to individual self-interest. This concept was first articulated by economist ____.
Who is Garrett Hardin?
This physicist formulated the concept of wave-particle duality, which explains that particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.
Who is Louis de Broglie?
This phenomenon, described by the Arrhenius equation, shows how the rate of a chemical reaction changes with temperature.
