Name the two most basic elements of communication.

Sender and reciever.

100
Define culture.

The arts, beliefs, customs, institutions, and other products of human work and thought considered as a unit, especially with regard to a particular time or social group

What is e-fuel?

Electrofuels, also known as e-fuels, are a class of synthetic fuels which function as drop-in replacement fuels for internal combustion engines. They are manufactured using captured carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, together with hydrogen obtained from water split.

100
True or false: Certain chemical reactions can create electricity.

True

What is nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. At this scale, commonly known as the nanoscale, surface area and quantum mechanical effects become important in describing properties of matter.

200

Name one of the communication models we discussed last year.

Shannon and Weaver, Jakobson, Schramm
200
Name two examples of how culture can affect communication.

language, what is the norm/accepted, manners, etc.

200

Name two reasons why e-fuel is an attractive alternative.

Reduces greenhouse gases, easier to transport, more sustainable....

200

What kind of atoms make up solid metal?

Neutral

200

Name an industry/product that uses nanotechnology.

mobile phones, cars, glasses, etc.

300

Good communication requires the receiver to actively

listen

300

What are two characteristics of a high context culture?

Focus on body language, group is more important than the individual, etc.

300

Name two reasons why e-fuel is not an attractive alternative.

Not enough, costly, etc.

300

What is a cathode?

A cathode is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device

300

What are some drawbacks of using nano-technology?

Its effects on the human body is still unknown.

400

Some examples of noise in communication can be....

physical/mental examples

400

What are two characteristics of a low context culture?

Individualism is valued over the group, more direct when communicating verbally

400

Name an industry that is considering using e-fuel.

Aviation, cars

400

Galvanic cells are also called

voltaic cells

400

True or false: Norway uses pressure-retarded osmosis to generate electricity.

True

500

Name three examples of communication styles.

Direct, circular, indirect, person-centered, idea-focused.

500

Is Norway considered high or low context?

Low

500

What is the process of creating e-fuel called?

power to liquid

What happens in an oxidation reduction reaction?

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. Redox reactions are common and vital to some of the basic functions of life, including photosynthesis, respiration, combustion, and corrosion or rusting.

Why is nanotechnology possibly beneficial for the solar power industry?

improve efficiency while also reducing associated manufacturing and installation costs.
