Question #1 Answer TThe Correct Answer is Oxygen. OOxygen is the most common because it makes up 62.81% of the human body. CCarbon is second with 19.37%

Question #2 Answer  The Answer is Bioluminescence  Bioluminescence is a chemical process in which ludferin reacts with oxygen in the presence of enzyme luciferase resulting in light. Bio= Life, Luminescence=light

Question #3 Answer  The Correct Answer is Bones  Sharks belong to the Class Chondrichthyes which lacks true bone. But they have cartilaginous skeleton.

Question #4 Answer  The correct answer is Kidney  The kidney cleans about 50 gallons of blood everyday through the renal arteries.

Question #5 Answer The correct answer is Influenza In the spring of 1918, large number of soldiers in the trenches of France were illed. They had sore throat, headache and loss of appetite. These were the symptoms of influenza.

Question #6 Answer  The correct answer is Sperm Whale  The sperm whale has a huge brain that weights about 20lbs (9kg). It has the largest brain of any animal.  Fun Fact: The Fictional Moby Dick was a Sperm Whale.

Question #7 Answer  The correct answer is Atavism  Atavism involves the reappearance of a characteristics of an organism after several generations.  Ex: Hind fins on dolphins

Question #8 Answer  The correct answer is Baby  Babies have more bones because as a child the bones begin to ossify (to turn into bones).  As they grow up, the bones begin to fuse together and become stronger.

Question #9 Answer  The correct answer is Freshwater Oyster  The life span of a freshwater oyster is up to 80 years!

Question #10 Answer TThe correct answer is Tobacco IIn 1983, the first genetically engineered organism, a tobacco plant designed to be resistant to certain herbicides, was grown in Wisconsin.

Question #11 Answer  The correct answer is Hydrogen Bonds  Water is a polar molecule with the oxygen (red) being partially negative and the hydrogen (white) being partially positive.

Question #12 Answer  The correct answer is Cohesion  Cohesion of water is how well it stick to itself.  It is usually caused by hydrogen bonds.

Question #13 Answer  The correct answer is Carbohydrates & Lipids  Carbohydrates are macromolecules that serve as a major energy source in the diet of organisms.  Ex: sugars, starch, cellulose and gums.  Lipids are macromolecules that are soluble in fat but insoluble in water.

Question #14 Answer  The correct answer is They serve as enzymes  Lipids do not serve as enzymes but they are chemical messengers and they store energy.

Question #15 Answer  The correct answer is Proteins  Proteins have long chains of amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins.

Question #16 Answer  The correct answer is they are two molecules in which energy is stored.  Glycogen is a carbohydrate which is stored in animals.  Starch is a carbohydrate in which plants store their energy.

Question #17 Answer  The Correct answer is Polar  Water is polar because the hydrogen bonds are partially positive and the oxygen bonds are partially negative.

Question #18 Answer  The correct answer is Substrates  Substrates are molecule in which enzymes act on. The enzymes catalyze chemical reactions involving the substrates.

Question #19 Answer  The correct answer is ATP  ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) is a molecule that is the main energy currency of cells.

Question #20 Answer  The correct answer is Energy  Monosaccharide supply energy to cells because they are the building blocks of carbohydrates.  The function of carbohydrates are to supply energy to living things.
