Name 2 of the 7 things that all life have in common. 

order, cells, growth and development, energy utilization, response to the environment, reproduction, evolution 

100

What are elements

Unique forms of matter that have specific chemical and physical properties 

100

What are the four macromolecules

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids 

100

What is an example of an ecosystem

Desert, rainforest, etc. 

100

What is the largest animal on earth

the blue whale 

200

Name all the steps of the scientific method in the correct order 

observation, hypothesis, experimentation, analysis/conclusion 

200

What are the four most common elements of living organisms

Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen 

200

What are the monomers of each macromolecule

Carbohydrates= monosaccharides

Lipids= glycerol and fatty acids

Proteins= amino acids 

Nucleic acids= nucleotides

200

What does the atomic number tell us

the number of protons and electrons 

200

What species of large bird did the Australian minister of defense loose a war to

Emus

300

What is the independent variable of an experiment

what you are testing; inputs or causes

300

What is the difference between a covalent bond and an ionic bond 

A covalent bond is when electrons are shared and an ionic bond is when atoms give up or gain electrons 

300

What is the tertiary structure of a protein

it is the unique 3-D structure of a polypeptide due to chemical interactions between R-groups on amino acids 

300

True or false: all chemical reactions are irreversible 

false, they can be reversible or irreversible 

300

How many hearts do octopuses have

three!

400

Explain pseudoscience and include an example. 

Pseudoscience is something that is falsely represented as having a scientific basis and often based on anecdotal evidence from a single or few examples. An example is fortune telling, phreneology, astrology.

Name and Explain two different properties of water 

heat capacity: specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat one gram of a substance must absorb to raise its temperature one degree Celsius 

heat of vaporization: amount of energy required to change one gram of a liquid substance to gas 

water is a universal solvent

cohesion: water molecules at the liquid-gas interface stick together due to hydrogen bonding

surface tension: the capacity of a substance to withstand being ruptured when placed under tension or stress

adhesion: attraction between water molecules and other molecules 

400

What are three types of RNA and their roles 

Messenger RNA (mRNA)= intermediary nucleic acid that leaves the nucleus and contains blueprint for protein synthesis

Transfer RNA (tRNA)= serves as a bridge between nucleotides and amino acids 

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)= assists in protein synthesis 

400

What is denaturation 

changes in protein structure that leads to changes in function 

400

What large mammal was taught to waterski in the 1960s

An elephant 

500

Explain the difference between a single blind study and a double blind study 

A single blind study is when the experimental subject doesn't know if they are part of the control group or the experimental group and a double blind study is when neither the subject nor the person conducting the study knows what group the subject is in. 
500

Draw the Bohr model of Potassium (K) with an atomic number of 19 and Neon (Ne) with an atomic number of 10. 

I will write on white board 

500

What is the difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid

A saturated fatty acid contains no carbon-carbon double bonds in the carbon-backbone. An unsaturated fatty acid contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond in the carbon chain backbone

500

What are functional groups

groups of atoms within a molecule that confer consistent specific properties to these molecules. Functional groups often interact with other functional groups via hydrogen bonds

500

What is a tardigrade (water bear) related to 

They are related to arthropods (insects, spiders, and crustaceans)
