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

Organic molecules are the molecules of life that include Carbon and Hydrogen. Organic molecules consist of four important classes which are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. The most important organic molecule is Carbon. Carbon can form with up to 4 different atoms to form chains‚ rings and branches. Organic molecules also contain monomers. Monomers are the “building blocks” of macromolecules. Macromolecules are made up by chains of monomers‚ these are called polymers. Continuing

The four nitrogen bases are Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Guanine and Cytosine. 2. B. Nitrogen bases‚ and hydrogen bonds make the "ladder". C. The phosphate and deoxyribose sugar makes up the backbone of the "ladder". D. They are anti-parallel because the both sides aren’t parallel. 4. Adenine is always attached

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‚ power plants‚ and other human activities

Plants can make their own food through photosynthesis and then break it down for usable energy through the process of cellular respiration. Analyze and explain how your life might be different if you could make your own food through photosynthesis. First of all if we were to be able to make our own food trough photosynthesis‚ we should have chlorophyll‚ which is the important pigment in absorbing sunlight. As an effect we will all be green in color. This may be good as there will be only one race

The Calvin Cycle By: MJ Pineda The Calvin Cycle is basically a part of photosynthesis where plants take in carbon dioxide and uses ATP and NADPH to make sugars from the CO2 and water for the plant to use or for animals to eat. It does not require light‚ and is interestingly called the "dark cycle" 1. The first step of this cycle consists of A carbon atom from carbon dioxide molecule will enter the cycle and joins with a five carbon molecule that is present. 2. The six carbon molecule that

Need and importance of afforestation: Afforestation helps in addressing the environmental issues of the world‚ esp. in preventing further global warming and reversing the effects of global warming. It also helps in avoiding desertification. As the human needs grew by the population growth and advances in civilization people have been exploiting nature and converting forests into agricultural lands‚ mines‚ and industrial areas for various resources for their recreation‚ enjoyment and comfort in living

Chicxulub Impact report- By Sophia Davis The Chicxulub asteroid hit earth over 65 million years ago‚ killing the vast majority of life.(1) This dramatic event had a great effect on Earth and its inhabitants. The impact included three main stages: the change of pathway which lead the asteroid towards earth‚ the fall of the asteroid and the effects caused. First stage The first stage of the Chicxulub impact was the change in space which lead the asteroid on its path to Earth. In order to get a better

it is without doubt that social media has turned into a part and parcel of our everyday life; making a huge impact on most of us. In a recent statistic report‚ it is stated by Daniells (2012) that on the average‚ there are 3.5 billion pieces of information being shared on popular social media Facebook every single month (para. 3). It demonstrates how frequently used are social media and how powerful social media is as a tool. In addition to affecting individuals‚ a recent research stated that among
