What needs to be done to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2020? Since the beginning of Industrial Revolution‚ concentrations of carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide have all risen dramatically because of human activities. Fossil fuel combustion‚ land-use change‚ increasingly intensive agriculture‚ and an expanding global human population are the primary causes for these increases. Other greenhouse gases found in our planet’s atmosphere include water vapor and ozone. Carbon

FUTURE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Anna Treohan 1993 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute INTRODUCTION The recent emphasis on environmental awareness has challenged scientists to find solutions for better and safer living conditions. The added threat of deadly diseases such as AIDS and resistant strains of tuberculosis and gonorrhea have forced scientists to look for new therapies within the field of biotechnology. The structure of DNA was deciphered by James Watson‚ a geneticist‚ and Francis Crick‚ a

1. How do fungi obtain food? Once obtained‚ how is the method that fungi use to digest food similar to how animals digest food? How is it different? a. Fungi obtain their food by absorption from their surroundings such as soil‚ living and dead plant/animal material. Animals digest food by consuming them and digest them through their digestive systems in their bodies. Fungi on the other hand‚ excrete digestive enzymes onto the food and digest them outside of their system. Then they use hyphae to
