A. Identification of Pollutant in the Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide is a colorless gas having a faint‚ sharp odor and a sour taste; it is a minor component of Earth’s atmosphere formed in combustion of carbon-containing materials‚ in fermentation‚ and in respiration of animals and employed by plants in the photosynthesis of carbohydrates. Though living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe‚ carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars‚ planes

Carbon Footprint Report BIOS 125 June 17‚ 2012 Carbon Footprint Report Carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon we emit individually in any one-year period. Carbon is produced from many sources and is the primary gas responsible for Global warming (What is a Carbon Footprint? Para 1). I discovered a way to actually see the amount of carbon I personally emit by using a carbon dioxide emission calculation. The carbon footprint is a very powerful tool to understand the impact of

Carbon Footprint Analysis Background Every year in the U.S. over 3.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions are released into the air‚ most of which are from human activities. The increased levels of carbon dioxide has been shown to cause global climate change (global warming). So how can you personally have an impact on global warming and the sustainability of the environment? First‚ you need to recognize how you contribute to the problem. Then you need to figure out how you can reduce

KREBS CYCLE It refers to a complex series of chemical reactions that produce carbon dioxide and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ a compound rich in energy. The cycle occurs by essentially linking two carbon coenzyme with carbon compounds; the created compound then goes through a series of changes that produce energy. This cycle occurs in all cells that utilize oxygen as part of their respiration process. It occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria in the presence of CO2.Pyruvic acid diffuses from
