______________ is the term for parasitic worm such as flatworms and roundworms. Type your answer in ALL CAPS and watch your spelling!

In a classic episode of Star Trek, a gigantic amoeba engulfs an entire starship.  This is an example of endocytosis.

DISCUSSION: One of the major questions fueling scientists during the Golden Age of Microbiology was where or not microbial life occurred via spontaneous generation.  a. Explain what spontaneous generation is?    b. Discuss the scientists involved in experimenting with spontaneous generation.  Be sure to include a description of each scientist’s experimental design and the results of their experiment.  Be sure to clearly state which ones provided support for spontaneous generation and which ones disproved the theory.  You should discuss each scientist in the proper order according to how they were discussed in class. (HINT: There are 5 of them!)

Use the graph of the typical growth curve to answer the questions below.

True or False:  X-rays have a larger frequency than microwaves

Select all of the electron configurations that are INCORRECT for a ground state atom.  You must select all of the wrong ones to get credit.

According to quantum theory, light behaves ______________________, whereas classical theory states that light behaves _______________________.

Suppose you want to find the reaction enthalpy, ΔHrxn for the reaction,    X2 + O2  –> 2XO         ΔHrxn = ???  kJ where X is an imaginary element, by adding some combination of the reactions below.  You are not going to actually add the enthalpies for these reactions, but rather determine the multiplier for each reaction that will make them add to the reaction above.  If you use a reactions as written enter a “1”; if you need twice a reaction then enter a “2”; if you need to reverse a reaction, enter “-1”.  If you do not use a reaction, enter a “0”, etc. The only accepted answers are “0,  1/2, -1/2, 1, -1, 2, or -2”. Enter one of these answers in each blank corresponding to each reaction in order. 1)  X2 + 2O2 –> 2XO2                       ΔH = 50 2)  2XO + O2 –>  2XO2                    ΔH = -100 3)  XO2  + X2   –>  X2O + XO         ΔH = -50
