I doubt anyone comes to this game, nobody likes smart games, but I do. So meh. To start out, something pretty easy: What is Avogadro's number? (Hint: it has to do with moles, and it's a veeery big number. You use scientific notation for this.) *Waits for people to totally ignore the thread* XD EDIT - Okay, that trivia is probably too hard... Let me go back to earlier stuffs... Eh... Name the five freaking kingdoms, then. *dies* |

Can nobody answer Avogadro's Number? Blah, okay, fine... Panther, I'd prefer to say monera instead of bacteria, but whatever. They both work. Okaaay... Next question. Eh... Name three important parts (out of like 15-ish) of a cell, and name their main function. (Animal or plant, doesn't matter. They don't vary that much.) |

Cell Wall, stop things from getting in or out. Plant. Ribosome, creates protein. Plant and Animal. Mitochondria, makes energy. Plant and Animal. |

You know, somebody else could ask a question... I'm trying to use earlier science here. @_@ Somebody google Avogadro's Number. It's not all that hard... New question: What's the difference between bacteria and viruses? (Name at least three differences.) *Dances* Yay science!...? Hur hur hur, I wish I was DNA Helicase so I could unzip your genes, baby. ;) |

viruses require a host to reproduce viruses have a protein coat viruses have only DNA and the protein coat (most bacteria have a few organelles) fine ill ask a question. what nitrogen base replaces thymine in RNA? |

Easy. Uracil. Biology FTW!  Although I was expecting an answer like "a virus isn't technically living" in my question, but your answers work, too. That's the weird thing about viruses - they evolve and mutate, they require a host, blah blah... But they're not considered an actual living organism.So 3nigma, are you a worthy opponent? >_> Name the three main cycles used in aerobic respiration in order to obtain energy. |

This should probably answer your other question, Naoko. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate energy(ATP). It is the preferred method of pyruvate breakdown from glycolysis and requires that pyruvate enter the mitochondrion to be fully oxidized by the Krebs cycle. The product of this process is energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), by substrate-level phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2. The reducing potential of NADH and FADH2 is converted to more ATP via an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron acceptor". Most of the ATP produced by cellular respiration is by oxidative phosphorylation, ATP molecules are made due to the chemiosmotic potential driving ATP synthase. Respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy when oxygen is present in the cell. If it's more than I need, I'm sorry... I just wanted to explain it, lol. EDIT by FM: Please write where you get your information if it is copied/pasted from a website/book. Wikipedia, Cellular Respiration |

1. You don't need to copy-paste an entire paragraph to give the answer. 2. The answers were glycolysis, the kreb's cycle, and phosphorylation. The last, you could've said something about electron transport and I would've taken that, too. 3. I don't care if you use online sources but there's no point in the game if you copy crap from wikipedia. Somebody else ask a question, please. |

@ naoko Why do I feel like you bias me everywhere I go? Could you please stop it because I don't like it. You biased me in my intro thread, and you biased me here. Gawsh. @darth. Well the way we learned it at school was simply 3.14, so we wouldn't have to deal with that big number. |

Because in your intro thread, you weren't very nice. And here, it's kind of annoying when someone copy-pastes a bunch of crap from wikipedia to answer a question. Either answer it simply or ignore the question, it's pretty simple. 3.141592653589793238462643 Happy birthday. GFN knows even more digits. |

You asked for an answer, I gave you one. I wasn't very nice because that's my personality. You're going to have to just deal with it. Besides, it was Sarcasm. My question. Name the third type of a cell. (Other than Animal or Plant.) |
