The study of organic compounds
What is Organic Chemistry?
These are the three forms of pure carbon.
Diamond, graphite, and fullerenes.
This is the main source of hydrocarbons.
What is fossil fuels?
The four main classes of biochemical compounds.
This combines the study of physics and biology to examine cells, organisms, and ecosystems.
What is biophysics?
This contains only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.
What is a hydrocarbon?
This is a form of carbon in which each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms.
What is diamond?
These are the three types of fossil fuels.
What are coal, natural gas, and petroleum?
This is the energy molecule of the cell.
What is glucose?
Some simple machines seen in parks.
What are inclined planes (slides), seesaws (levers), and swings (pendulums).
This contains only single carbon-carbon bonds and has the maximum amount of bonded hydrogen atoms.
What is a saturated hydrocarbon?
**Bonus**
Name a saturated hydrocarbon: propane, gasoline, paraffin wax
This form of carbon contains widely spaced layers. The layers are strong themselves, but weakly bonded to the other layers.
What is graphite?
This contains ethane, propane, and butane and is formed from the remains of marine organisms.
What is natural gas?
This is important building body tissues, regulating life processes, and keeping your immune system strong.
What are proteins?
The pressure of a moving fluid decreases as the fluid moves faster.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
This contains a carbon-carbon double or triple bond, preventing the maximum number of bonded hydrogen atoms.
What is an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
This is carbon atoms arranged in pentagon and hexagon patterns that form hollow spheres. These have also been found in meteorites!
What is fullerenes?
This is also liquid fossil fuel also formed from the remains of marine organisms.
What is petroleum?
**BONUS**
Once pumped, it is processed and separated into simpler mixtures such as gasoline, kerosene, and heating oil.
These are important for energy storage in the body.
What are lipids?
You can experience these when you ride in a bumper car.
What are Newton's Laws of Motion?
**BONUS**
Recite Newton's Laws of Motion.
This is the chemistry of life.
What is biochemistry?
These are the simplest type of organic compounds.
What are hydrocarbons?
This is the difference between complete combustion and incomplete combustion.
What happens when there is not enough oxygen available for a complete combustion, which byproducts that result are carbon dioxide and water, incomplete combustion occurs and the deadly gas, carbon monoxide, is produced.
These are involved in storing and processing genetic information.
What are Nucleic Acids?
**BONUS**
These are common nucleic acids:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
These are ways Biophysics have impacted healthcare. (Name 3)
What are MRIs, CTs, kidney dialysis, radiation treatments, cardiac defibrillators, pacemakers, artificial heart valves, and prosthetic limbs?
