the most used term in the sciences?

This is quite strange. What do you think is the 'most used' term in the Science subjects? Let me rephrase this- what terms come in your mind when you try to summarise the content of a subject?

Physics: energy
Chemistry: electrons
Biology: cell, hydrolysis

Thoughts.

Oh... the answers to everything. If I don't actually know the answer to a science question I usually pick one of the following

-gravity
-large surface area
-due to osmosis
-repulsion
-electric charge

In chem definitely.. electron, reaction, molecule or charge.

Biology; cell, function, enyzme

Chemistry: ditto above - electrons, energy, molecules, reactive, reaction, bond

Biology: cell, enzyme, osmosis, diffusion, surface area, site (of photosynthesis etc)... tbh biology doesn't have as many repeated words as Chemistry.

in Physics it has to be "x" or "t", then again "dx" and "dt" are fairly common too :p:

Argh it's all I've heard for the past 3 months.
Why - to all three of them....

In organic chemistry exams the answer to everything is reflux :smile: (well not really but loads of the reactions require reflux)
