Biology
This is the process by which plants make food from sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
This is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
What is a compound?
This is a type of energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to other objects.
What is potential energy?
Lucy eats 5 jellybeans in 3 minutes. This is an equation that can be used to find j, the number of jellybeans Lucy can eat in 20 minutes.
What is j = (5/3)*20
This is Wren's chemistry teacher.
Who is Ms. Poon?
This is the process through which cells make identical copies of themselves.
What is mitosis?
This theory explains the states (solids, liquids, gases) of matter and describes that particles are in constant motion.
What is Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)?
This quantity has the SI unit of ohm (Ω).
What is resistance?
This is the value of y.
2 x + 3 y = 9
x + 4 y = 2
What is -1?
Two tectonic plates move away at this type of boundary. An example could be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
This is the term for the genetic phenomenon when neither of the two alleles is fully dominant over the other.
What is incomplete dominance?
This group of elements on the periodic table has a full valence (outer) shell, which increases their stability.
What is group 18 (noble gases)?
This is the shortest distance from an initial point to a final point in space.
What is displacement?
This is the slope of the line passing through points (2, 1) and (5, 10).
What is 3?
This is Emily's favourite area of science!
What is biochemistry?
These chemical bonds occur between nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, G) in DNA. Bonus points if you can say how many in each!
What are hydrogen bonds? (2 in AT, 3 in CG)
These 2 types of particles make up protons and neutrons.
*Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles, meaning they can be broken down into smaller particles!
What are quarks and gluons?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, UV, x-rays, and gamma rays belong to this spectrum.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
These are the factors of 128.
What are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128?
This is the method of reproduction that Wren's mourning geckos use (hint: no males involved!)
What is parthenogenesis?
This is a type of passive transport that uses proteins to carry molecules across the cell membrane
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
This is the electron configuration (noble gas notation) of Cr (Chromium).
[Ar] 4s1 3d5
This is the distance travelled by a rocket-powered sled accelerating from rest to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.83 seconds. *hint: you can calculate the acceleration first.
What is 406 m?
This is the relationship between functions
y = sin x and y=csc x.
What are reciprocal functions?
David Baker and Demis Hassabis are awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work in these 2 areas.
What is computational protein design and protein structure prediction?
