What gas do plants absorb during photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces most of the cell's ATP.
What is the Mitochondrion?
What is it called when a substance goes from a liquid to a solid?
Freezing
Which law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless an outside force acts on it?
Newton's 1st Law/The law of Inertia
What should you always wear during labs?
PPE/Safety Equipment
What happens to the hydrogen atoms in the sun? (What causes the sun to be so hot)
Nuclear Fusion
This type of cell division produces four genetically different haploid cells.
Meiosis
What is the PH of pure water at room temperature?
7
What is the principle that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed?
Conservation of Energy
What do you do if you break something during a lab?
Report it
How does lightning affect nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Lightning breaks the nitrogen-nitrogen triples bonds into nitrogens that are able usable by plants and animals.
During cellular respiration, this molecule serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Balance the Equation:
_C3H8 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O
1C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
What are the 3 forces acting on a ball rolling down a rough surface?
Friction, gravity, and normal force
How many hours do you need for your membership requirements?
15
What moon of Jupiter is covered in a thick crust of ice, and scientists believe a liquid water ocean sits underneath it?
Europa
A mutation changes on DNA nucleotide, but the resulting protein has the exact same amino acid sequence as before. This type of mutation is called this.
Silent mutation
Where does the equilibrium shift when the pressure is increased and why?
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ↔ 2NH3(g)
Equilibrium shifts toward NH3 because the product side has fewer moles of gas.
How do you determine the direction of the magnetic force acting on a particle moving through a magnetic field?
RHR/Cross Product
How many competition hours do you need?
2 (UIL Science, Science Olympiad, Academic Decathlon, etc.)
What type of star will the sun become next?
What is the name of this equation p2+2pq+q2=1?
Hardy Weinberg
What is the purpose of the Nernst equation?
Calculate the cell potential of a cell at non-ideal conditions
What is the law that states that a changing magnetic field inside a loop of wire induces an EMF in the loop?
Faraday's Law of Induction
