    An H2O bond that does not have equal sharing is a __________.

    Correct Answer
    Polar bond
    Explanation
    A polar bond is formed when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms in a molecule. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the other, causing it to attract the shared electrons more strongly. As a result, the electron density is shifted towards the more electronegative atom, creating partial positive and negative charges. Therefore, a polar bond is characterized by an uneven distribution of electron density, leading to a separation of charges and the formation of a dipole moment.

    C3, C3 plant, and C3 plants are all correct answers because they all refer to the same concept. C3 plants are a type of plants that use the C3 pathway in the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide and produce PGA (phosphoglycerate) as an intermediate product. This process occurs in the mesophyll cells of the plant's leaves. The C3 pathway is the most common pathway used by plants for photosynthesis.

    O   Stored CO2 is added to PEP o   Makes malate (stored in mesophyll) o   When env. improves, CO2 is released into Calvin cycle o   PEP is reused What am I ?

    Correct Answer
    C4
    C4 plant
    C4 plants
    Explanation
    C4, C4 plant, and C4 plants are the correct answers because they all refer to a type of photosynthetic pathway found in certain plants. These plants have adapted to hot and dry environments by using an additional step called the C4 pathway to minimize water loss. In this pathway, CO2 is initially fixed into a four-carbon compound called malate, which is stored in mesophyll cells. When the environmental conditions improve, the stored CO2 is released into the Calvin cycle for further processing. This process involves the reuse of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), hence the statement "PEP is reused".

    O   C fixation at night o   CO2 binds with PEP o   Malate stored until sunlight o   CO2 released o   Pyruvate becomes PEP again   What am I ?

    Correct Answer
    CAM
    CAM plant
    CAM plants
    Explanation
    The given answer options are all related to Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) plants. CAM plants have a unique adaptation where they fix carbon dioxide (CO2) at night by converting it into organic acids such as malate. These organic acids are stored until sunlight, when they are converted back into CO2 for photosynthesis. This process involves the conversion of malate to pyruvate, which then becomes phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) again. Therefore, the correct answer options all describe different aspects of the CAM plant's carbon fixation and storage mechanisms.

    Correct Answer
    Cell respiration
    Cellular respiration
    Explanation
    Cell respiration and cellular respiration are both correct answers for the question "Making energy out of glucose. Who am I?" These terms refer to the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. During this process, the energy stored in glucose molecules is released and used by the cell to perform various functions. Cell respiration and cellular respiration are interchangeable terms used to describe this important metabolic process.
