Planets
Which planet is closest to the sun?
Mercury
What is a baby kangaroo called?
Joey
Which type of scientist studies animals and goes to many places on earth to see animals?
Zoologist
What three things does a plant need to perform photosynthesis?
Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
What is the chemical symbol for water
H2O
What is the smallest planet in our universe?
Mercury
What's a group of lions called?
A pride
What type of scientists studies astronomy?
Astronomer
What two products are made during photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
What is the definition of a covalent bond?
A type of chemical bond formed when electrons are shared between atoms
Which planet has the most rings?
Saturn
Which animal has fingerprints so similar to humans they can contaminate crime scenes?
Koala
Which type of scientists helps with medicine and energy?
Chemist
The overall process of photosynthesis is divided into two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions. What is the purpose of the purpose of the light-dependent reactions, and what products do they create for the Calvin cycle?
The light-dependent reactions capture energy from sunlight and convert it into energy-carrying molecules ATP and NADPH, which are then used to power the Calvin cycle
What is the pH of pure water at 25C
7
Which planet has the most moons?
Saturn
What is the only mammal capable of true flight?
A bat
Which type of scientist goes underwater and studies things under the sea?
Marine Biologist
How would the closing of a plants stomata affect it's ability to perform photosynthesis.
When stomata close, it limits the amount of carbon dioxide that can enter the leaf from the atmosphere Since carbon dioxide is a required reactant for the Calvin cycle, its decreases would cause the rate of photosynthesis to slow down or stop. The closure water, though it has the side effect in inhibiting photosynthesis.
Describe the mechanism and factors that favor SN1 versus SN2 reactions
This requires understanding reaction rates, leaving groups, nucleophile strengths, solvent effects, and steric hindrance to determine if a substitution reaction proceeds via a single step or a two-step mechanism, and then applying this to the specific reactants and conditions
How old is the universe?
13.8 billion years
Which to animals are the only ones on Earth that lay eggs?
A platypus and anteaters
Which scientist studies organisms?
Biologists
A plant has a mutation that eliminates its photosystem 2 complex, s key component of the light-dependent reactions. How would this mutation change the end products of photosynthesis?
Without Photosystem 2, the plant would not be able to split water molecules to replace the electrons lost by Photosystem 1
Design a synthetic route to achieve a stereospecific and regioselective transformation of a given molecule using concepts of nucleophiles, electrophiles, acids, and bases
This is a complex problem that requires applying multiple concepts from organic chemistry. It involves selecting specific reagents and reaction conditions to control not only which atoms in the molecule react but also the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in the final product
