In one line: Twenty cross-subject facts this mock keeps testing — biology, chemistry, physics, and English, in exam-day mix.

Biology & Chemistry

1Glycogen is the animal long-term energy store (starch in plants).

2Phospholipid bilayer gives the membrane its selective permeability.

3Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC) yields most of a glucose molecule's ATP.

4Alveoli are where gas exchange happens in the lungs.

5Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting cellular uptake.

6Nephron is the kidney's filtration unit.

7CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O — 2 mol O2 needed per mol methane.

8HCl is a strong Bronsted-Lowry acid (fully dissociates).

9Neutral water has pH 7 at 25°C.

10Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings.

11CH2O is the empirical formula for 40% C, 6.7% H, 53.3% O.

12Projectile motion: horizontal and vertical motions are independent.

13Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge.

14Capacitance C = Q/V (charge over voltage).

151st law of thermodynamics: ΔU = Q − W.

16Formal English prefers "considerably" over casual "pretty".

17It's = contraction of "it is"; Its = possessive.

18ADH (antidiuretic hormone) controls osmoregulation via the kidneys.

19Rusting = oxidation of iron requiring both O2 and water.

20Beyond C (centre of curvature) gives a real, inverted, diminished image in a concave mirror.
