In one line: Twenty more cross-subject facts — cell transport, genetics ratios, gas laws, and optics/lens correction.

Biology & Chemistry

1Nuclear pores in the nuclear envelope control nucleus-cytoplasm traffic.

2Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.

3Thylakoid membrane is where light-dependent photosynthesis reactions occur.

4Veins have valves to prevent backflow.

5Aa × aa test cross gives a 1:1 ratio.

6Isotopes share protons but differ in neutrons.

7Covalent bonds form by sharing electrons between nonmetals.

8Boyle's law: P and V are inversely proportional at constant T.

9Buffers contain a weak acid + its conjugate base (or vice versa).

10Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu is a classic redox reaction.

11Ohm is the SI unit of electrical resistance.

12Gamma rays have the highest energy in the EM spectrum.

13At the peak of vertical motion, acceleration is still g downward (velocity is zero, acceleration is not).

14Concave lens corrects myopia (short-sightedness).

15Half-life = time for half a radioactive sample's nuclei to decay.

16Receive is spelled correctly under "i before e except after c".

17Subject-verb agreement: "The list of items is..." (subject is singular "list").

18Stomata handle gas exchange in plant leaves.

19Cohesion-tension theory explains water rising up the xylem.

20Strong acid + strong base equivalence point ≈ pH 7.
