Chemistry
The number of protons in an atom defines this property.
What is an atomic number?
This process converts light energy into chemical energy in plants.
What is photosynthesis?
This organ filters blood and produces urine.
What is the kidney?
The fundamental force that causes objects to fall towards earth.
What is gravity?
This gas is the most abundant in Earth’s atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
This type of bond forms when electrons are shared between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
This type of transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient using energy.
What is active transport?
This vessel carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body.
What is the aorta?
When surfaces slide or tend to slide over one another, a force of this happens.
What is friction?
This process describes the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
This type of reaction involves the transfer of electrons between species.
What is a redox reaction?
This enzyme unwinds DNA at the replication fork.
What is helicase?

What is the cerebellum?
(-b +- √(b^2-4ac)) / 2a
What is the quadratic formula?
This term describes the random change in allele frequencies due to chance events.
What is a genetic drift?
The pH scale measures the concentration of these ions in a solution.
What are hydrogen ions (H⁺)?
This type of symbiosis benefits one organism while the other is unaffected.
What is commensalism?
This system includes the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes and plays a key role in immune defense.
What is the lymphatic system?
A measure of the spread of data around the mean, calculated by taking the square root of the variance
What is the standard deviation?
This enzyme adds RNA primers during DNA replication.
What is primase?
This thermodynamic function, defined as G=H−TS, determines the spontaneity of a reaction.
What is Gibbs free energy?
This type of RNA regulates gene expression by binding to complementary mRNA sequences and preventing translation.
What are microRNAs (miRNAs)?
This type of synapse uses gap junctions to allow direct ion flow between cells.
What is an electrical synapse?
The trigonometric function equal to the ratio of the side opposite the given angle to the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle
What is the sine function?
The process used in calculus to find the slope of a curve at a specific point.
What is differentiation or finding the derivative?
