This fact has been ‘known’ to us for thousands of years, yet it was only mathematically proven in 1998 by Thomas Hales. It has many profound implications on our daily lives, from stacks of groceries and cannonballs, to the atoms in a crystal. Let us consider the simpler 2D case. Those who play pool, will know that the most efficient wayto “squeeze” circles into a given area is to use hexagonal packing, as shown belowPacking efficiency is defined as how efficiently the space is used, i.e. the area of the circles dividedby the total area used (including ‘between’ circles).

The Chicken McNugget Theorem was discovered when people realised certain numbers of nuggets could not be bought from a fast-food restaurant. As nuggets could only be purchased in groups of 9 and 20, certain numbers of nuggets, such as 7 and 28, cannot be purchased. The greatest number of items that cannot be purchased is given by the formulamn – m – nif the items can only be purchased in groups of m and n.Hence, the greatest number of nuggets that cannot be purchased is:9(20) – 9 – 20 = 151 nuggets. Any larger number of nuggets can be purchased. For example, 152nuggets can be purchased in 4 bags of 20 and 8 bags of 9, and 153 nuggets can be purchased in17 bags of 9.Another restaurant sells chicken wings in boxes of 7 and 16.

Phototropism combines the Greek photo, or "light," and tropism, "a turning". Put together the term phototropism refers to the movement of organisms towards light. In plants, phototropism helps to get the maximum amount of available energy by turning and growing in the sun’s direction. Auxin is the plant hormone that is responsible for phototropism. This hormone is concentrated in the head of the stem. Some students want to check the action of the auxin and put caps on the head of the stems.

Pesticides are important compounds that are used for protection of crops from insects and microorganisms. Usage of pesticides highly increases crop production, but at the same time may result in food toxicity. In order to ban or approve pesticides, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EAP) does research and evaluates the risks. EPA tests compounds on the rats and mice and evaluates the LD50 value - amount of substance per kilogram body weight required to lead to the lethal consequences of 50% of the test animals. LD50 value for artrazine (frequently used pesticide) is 1-4 g/kg depending on the animal species, that is why artrazine remains unbanned The table below represents LD50 values of different compounds for mice:Which compound is the most dangerous based on the LD50 value?Deselect Answer A. Batrachotoxin B. White phosphorus C. Ascorbic Acid D. Ibuprofen 4. Hypercalciuria refers to high concentration of calcium ions present in the urine. This is a risk factor for the formation of kidney stones when insoluble calcium salts become supersaturated in the urine. To treat kidney stones, it is proposed to use chelating agents to reduce the concentration of free calcium ions in the urine and thereby reducing the saturation. Chelating agents are typically molecules or ions which are capable of forming multiple dative bonds with the metal cation. Which of the following substances is most likely able to prevent the formation of calcium stones inthe urine?Deselect Answer 5. Organic chemistry has its roots in the mid 1700s, when thousands of alchemists around the world were experimenting with chemical compounds. Alchemists divided Chemistry into two main parts - "Inorganic Chemistry" and "Organic Chemistry". They believed that the two Chemistries do not have anything in common and have different principles from one another. In order to prove that theory, "vital force" ("live force") rules were developed: Chemical compounds coming from animals or plants are strongly connected to the soul and do not obey rules of inorganic chemistry.It may sound strange, but this theory was accepted by the vast majority of alchemists at the time.Which of the suggested reactions below is the most impossible according to the "vital force" theory?Deselect Answer A.

Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a net external force. Mathematically, this is equivalent to say that if the net force acting on an object is zero, then the velocity of the object is constant. When the bus starts to move abruptly, passengers lean back. In case of sudden braking, on the contrary, they lean forward. This observation seems to contradict Newton's first law, because outside forces do not act on thepeople. Which of the following is the correct statement regarding this observation?Deselect Answer A. Passengers move due to inertia in the direction of the bus’s original movement B. This is contrary to Newton's law and is an exception C. This phenomenon has nothing to do with forces and Newton’s law does not apply here. D.

The maglev train is a special type of high-speed train, which uses electromagnets to levitate the train over the tracks. Thanks to the complete lack of friction, maglev trains are able to achieve very high speeds. Let us study how the train levitates. There are permanent magnets on the bottom of the train, andelectromagnets on the tracks. By providing power to the electromagnets, they generate a magneticfield, thus repelling the permanent magnets and applying an upwards force on the train. Becausethe magnetic field is stronger at shorter distances, for the same amount of power, the repulsionis stronger when the train is lower, and weaker when the train is higher.Imagine a train that is levitating; the power of the electromagnets is perfectly tuned, so that the trainis hovering stationarily at a specific height. Suddenly, the power is decreased by a very smallamount.What happens?Deselect Answer A. The train will initially accelerate downwards, and then oscillate around a lower height B.

Kary Mullis was an American biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR). PCR allows for rapid amplification of DNA sequences which are important in many medical diagnostics to identify disorders, bacteria and viruses. For example, in the COVID-19 pandemic, PCR plays an essential role in helping to detect if a person carries the coronavirus. To amplify the DNA sequences using PCR, RNA primers are required. When designing RNA primers for PCR, one must take note to avoid the possibility of formation of hairpin loops of the RNA primers.

No, because it requires sun rays C. Yes, because it requires CO2 , which is still coming to the plant D. Yes, because it may replace ATP with ADP 5. Greenhouse effect is the natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. Sun rays reach the surface and reflect. Some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. In the last three centuries, the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere dramaticallyincreased, which led to the increasing average temperature on the Earth and melting glaciers. Thediagram below represents the changes of the amount of greenhouse gasses with a pass of time:Which factor mostly affected the greenhouse effect situation in the 21st century?Deselect Answer A.
