Biology
These tiny organisms can only reproduce inside host cells and are made of DNA or RNA.
What are viruses?
The number of protons in an atom is also known as this.
What is the atomic number?
What is the speed in m/s of a wave with a wavelength of 0.75m and a frequency of 2.4 Hz?
speed = wavelength x frequency
0.75 x 2.4 = 1.8m/s
These large sections of Earth’s crust slowly move over the mantle, and their collisions or shifts can cause earthquakes and tsunamis.
What are tectonic plates?
This phase occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, and the side facing Earth is dark.
New moon
These cells are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.
What are red blood cells (erythrocytes)?
This group of elements is known for being highly unreactive due to having a full outer electron shell.
What are the noble gases?
What is the relationship between the period (T) of a pendulum and its length (L)?
T = 2ㅠ√(L/g) – The period (T) is proportional to the square root of the length (L)
This wall of water, often caused by undersea earthquakes or landslides, can travel across entire ocean basins at jetliner speeds.
What is a tsunami?
You and three friends are stuck on a planet far away. A tsunami will arrive to your location in 17 minutes, and you need to cross a bridge to reach your ship and escape. The bridge can only support two people at a time, and each friend takes a different amount of time. You take 1 minute, Friend B takes 2, Friend C 5, and Friend D 10. Additionally, it is nighttime, so one person must bring a flashlight back across the bridge to the starting side before anyone else can cross. How will you get everyone across in time?
First, Friend B and I will cross, taking 2 minutes, and I will return, taking 1 minute. (3 minutes have passed).
Then Friend C and Friend D will cross, taking 10 minutes, and Friend B will take it back, (12 minutes for this step, 15 minutes have passed).
Then Friend B and I will cross, taking 2 minutes (2 minutes for this step, 17 minutes have passed).
This term describes a group of organisms of the same species living in the same place
What is a population?
In a redox reaction, the substance that loses electrons is said to be this.
What is oxidized?
What is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor that can be measured in amperes (A)?
Electric current
When an earthquake displaces a large volume of water, the resulting wave grows taller as it reaches the shore due to this process.
What is wave shoaling?
A laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge.
What is gel electrophoresis? Bonus: What is the role of the ladder in this process?
This process edits mRNA by removing introns before transcription.
What is RNA splicing?
This type of reaction occurs when an acid and base react to form water and a salt.
What is a neutralization reaction?
Assuming there is no air resistance, how long will it take for a ball that is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 20m/s to return to the thrower’s hand?
t = [ v(f) - v(i) ] / a → t = (0 - 20) / -9.8 → t = 2.04s x 2 = 4.08s
This scale, from EF0 to EF5, is used to measure the intensity of tornadoes based on damage caused.
What is the Enhanced Fujita Scale?
Minecraft Steve decides to rob a bank. He mines through the obsidian walls and fills his inventory (36 slots) with stacks (64 items per stack) of gold blocks (each block is 1 meter3 ). What equivalent USD value of gold did Steve escape with?
12
This type of genetic inheritance occurs when both alleles contribute equally to the phenotype, resulting in a blend of traits.
What is incomplete dominance?
When 6.00 grams of hydrogen gas react with excess oxygen, this is the maximum mass of water that can be produced.
What is 54.0 grams of water? 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O. Explanation: Step 1. Use the molar mass of H2 to find how many moles 6 grams is (6 g/2.02 g/mol = 2.97). Step 2. Since H2 and H2O have a 1:1 ratio, they have an equivalent number of moles. Step 3. Use the molar mass of H2O and multiply it by the moles of H2O (2.97 mol x 18.02 g/mol = 53.5 g -> 54 g)
A 24V battery is connected to three resistors in series: R(1) = 5 ohms ; R(2) = 10 ohms ; R(3) = 15 ohms. What is the total current? What is the voltage drop across R(2)?
a) R(total) = 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 ohms → I = V/R(total) → I = 24V/30 ohms = 0.8 amp b) Voltage drop across R(2) = I x R(2) → V(R2) = 0.8 amp x 10 ohms = 8V
What is the current accepted theory for the formation of the moon? Name the theory and any significant names.
What is giant-impact hypothesis/Theia. A Mars-sized object, sometimes named Theia, collided with the early Earth about 4.5 billion years ago.
