The Color Orange

Question 1:

Fill in the blank: The plant pigment beta-___ is partly responsible for the orange hue of many different fruits and vegetables, including carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkins.

Carotene

  • Some green leaf vegetables, such as spinach or kale, are also high in β-carotene, however the orange is masked by green chlorophyll.

Question 2:

Who directed A Clockwork Orange (1971)?

Stanley Kubrick

  • Kubrick called the film—which is based on the 1962 Anthony Burgess novel of the same name—a social satire and said it raised the question of whether "behavioural psychology and psychological conditioning are dangerous new weapons for a totalitarian government...to turn [citizens] into little more than robots."

Question 3:

In 1688, William of Orange invaded England and deposed this king, who was also his father-in-law.

James II

  • James became king in February 1685, with widespread popular backing even though he was a Catholic in a majority-Protestant country. However, his policies quickly lost support and William's deposition of the king came to be known as the Glorious Revolution.

Question 4:

Otto the Orange is the mascot for the athletic teams of this U.S. university.

Syracuse University

  • In 1984, Sports Illustrated called Otto a "juiced-up, bumbling citrus fruit from which two legs protrude".

Question 5:

Canada

  • The Canadian holiday is observed annually on September 30th to remember Indigenous children who were forced to attend residential schools far away from their families where they suffered malnourishment, extremely harsh discipline and abuse.
