Biology
This process leads to a species becoming better adapted to its environment over generations
What is natural selection
This type of reaction occurs when one substance combines with oxygen, often releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
What is combustion?
This type of cell division produces gametes, such as sperm and eggs, and reduces the chromosome number by half
What is meiosis
This planet is known as the "Red Planet" and has the largest volcano in the solar system
What is Mars
This scientist is known for his theory of general relativity, which describes the gravitational force as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
Who is Albert Einstein?
This genetic disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for producing hemoglobin, leading to sickle-shaped red blood cells
What is sickle cell anemia
This element has the atomic number 1 and is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe
What is hydrogen
The powerhouse of the cell, responsible for generating ATP, is called this
What is mitochondria
This star is the closest to Earth and is the source of all life on our planet
What is the Sun
This type of wave does not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum
What is a light wave (electromagnetic wave)
This term refers to the total mass of living matter in a given area
What is biomass
This type of bond forms when two atoms share electrons, and it is the strongest type of chemical bond.
What is a covalent bond?
The process of a white blood cell engulfing a pathogen is called this.
What is phagocytosis
This type of galaxy has a spiral shape and includes our own Milky Way
What is spiral galaxy
This phenomenon describes the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index
What is refraction
This technique is used to amplify a specific segment of DNA
What is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
This element, essential for life, is found in all organic compounds and has an atomic number of 6. It is also the building block for all carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
What is carbon?
This bacterium is the causative agent of tuberculosis and is known for its waxy cell wall, which makes it resistant to many antibiotics
What is mycobacterium tuberculosis
This planet, the largest in our solar system, is known for its Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has been raging for centuries.
What is Jupiter?
This fundamental force is responsible for the attraction between objects with mass
What is gravity
This type of organism is capable of producing its own food using light or chemical energy
What is an autotroph
what law describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when the temperature and the amount of gas are held constant.
what is Boyle's Law
This process is used to separate DNA fragments based on their size
What is gel electrophoresis
This type of galaxy, characterized by its lack of a distinct shape, contains a large number of stars, but little interstellar gas and dust.
What is an elliptical galaxy?
This law states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant, regardless of the processes happening within the system.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
