Computer Science
Data structure that uses a First In, First Out method for accessing elements, often used in handling requests.
What is a Queue
The type of circuit component that stores electrical energy in an electric field.
What is a capacitor
The macromolecule that converts DNA into proteins.
What are Ribosomes
The term referring to a sustained increase in general prices of goods over time.
What is inflation
The formula to find x (cartesian coordinates) in terms of cylindrical coordinates (r, theta, z)?
x = r cos(theta)
An algorithm where elements are repeatedly swapped to move larger values toward the end of the list.
What is Bubble Sort
This type of property depends only on the current state of a system, not on the path used to reach that state.
What is a State Function.
Found in cells, they act as catalysts that lower the activation energy for biochemical reactions.
What are Enzymes
An economic law that states that the higher a price is of goods the lower the quantity purchased by consumers.
What is the Law of Demand
A theorem that states for large enough sample sizes, the distribution of the sample will approach a normal, regardless of the original population's distribution.
An algorithm that finds the shortest path between weighted nodes in a graph.
What is Dijkstra's Algorithm
A type of reaction where two ionic compounds in solution react to form a solid product.
What is a precipitation reaction
The observable characteristics or traits of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genes with the environment.
What is a Phenotype
The term that refers to the ease in which an asset can be converted into cash.
What is Liquidity
The type of problem that ODEs become after a Laplace transform.
What is Algebraic
A learning algorithm based on the concept of finding a hyperplane that best separates data into distinct classes.
What is a Support Vector Machine (SVM)
A reaction mechanism characterized by the simultaneous breaking of a bond and the formation of a new bond, commonly observed in the formation of C-C double bonds.
What is an E2 reaction
The hormone produced by the pancreas that lowers blood glucose levels.
What is Insulin
Sat at the intersection of the supply and demand curves, the point where the price will typically not change.
What is Market Equilibrium
What is A'B?
A = [1 0]
B = [2 2]
A'B =
[2 2]
[0 0]
The proportion of actual positives correctly identified, best used for when false positives are costly.
What is Recall.
The thermodynamic potential resulting from subtracting TS (temperature * entropy) from energy.
The type of bond found between the amino group and carboxyl group of amino acids, which forms the backbone of proteins.
What are Peptide Bonds
A market structure characterized by many firms selling identical products, where no firm has the ability to influence market price.
What is Perfect Competition
The general solution to d2y/dx2 = C2y?
y = Aexp(Cx) + Bexp(-Cx)
