Some famous physicist, I think it might have been Rutherford, famously said “all science is either physics or stamp collecting,” meaning, those other sciences not physics were just learning about a bunch of different unrelated facts and names, like so many stamps on a page. There are 21 amino acids and 92 elements and three types of rocks, etc.; collect them all and study them, but in any case it isn’t physics, the only “real science” (was his dismissive implication). Depending on how wide your reading has been, you will have come across them or not, and you will know how to answer most of these questions or you will not.

Having a good grounding in the ancient languages (Greek, Latin {grandfather would add Hebrew}) seems to help make sense of the questions.

I'm pretty sure it was Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
