🧠 Science Quiz Overview and Insect Vision
In this general science quiz, Ben introduces a fun yet moderately challenging set of questions designed for the average person. He kicks off the quiz with the fact that most insects can see ultraviolet light, a spectrum invisible to humans. Questions continue with immune system cells (T-cells), basic chemistry (element versus compound), and famous scientific theories like Einstein's theory of relativity.
🌍 Atmosphere, Germination, and Human Biology
This section covers topics such as the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere (nitrogen), the process of germination in plants, and a brief dive into human biology, like the role of T-cells in fighting infection and the 'happy hormone' dopamine. There is also mention of sound waves requiring a medium to travel through and calorie measurement.
⚛️ Subatomic Particles and Scientific Concepts
This paragraph covers physics and chemistry topics such as negatively charged subatomic particles (electrons), the function of white blood cells in the immune system, and concepts in energy (kinetic energy). The quiz also introduces the term 'hydroponics,' where plants grow without soil, and scientific properties like terminal velocity and viscosity.
🌌 Astronomy and Photosynthesis
Focusing on astronomy and biology, this section includes questions about black holes (the Event Horizon), the most malleable metal (gold), and photosynthesis in plants, which produces oxygen. There's also a question about the primary function of carbohydrates in the human body, which is to provide energy.
🚀 Planetary Science and Taxonomy
In this paragraph, the quiz explores planetary science and biological classification. Topics include the shortest day in the solar system (Jupiter), the meaning of the prefix 'bio,' and the speed of light slowing down when it passes through water. Additionally, the taxonomy of living organisms is discussed, including gymnosperms, and the number of chromosomes humans have (23 pairs).
🔬 Human Body and Physics Phenomena
Here, the quiz covers human anatomy, physics, and earth science. It includes the longest nerve in the human body (sciatic nerve), the gas found in Mars' atmosphere (carbon dioxide), and the point in a planet’s orbit closest to the Sun (perihelion). The process of mitosis and vitamin C are also discussed, along with the unit of force, the Newton.
