Before this time‚ the atmosphere had a very different chemical make-up‚ high in carbon molecules; unsustainable for life as known today. These prokaryotes

and perform a first hand investigation to demonstrate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. DUE DATE: 21/11/07 CONDUCTOR: Wissam Bardouh EFFECT OF DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) ON PH OF WATER Introduction: ((Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It is everywhere ranging from our bodies to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced in living organisms as a result of cellular respiration (glucose + oxygen -->carbon dioxide + water + energy). It occurs in high concentrations

Why was Stormont Dissolved in 1972? Eighty- seven years have passed and partition within Ireland still remains the island’s defining feature. Since the six county country of Northern Ireland was formed under the umbrella organisation of the United Kingdom in 1921‚ Northern Ireland has experienced two periods of its history that are so extreme in their differences. For the first fifty or so years of Northern Ireland’s existence the situation between both sides of the community‚ the Protestants

Tips for Fish Pond Management Managing a backyard pond can be considered a tougher task as compared to managing a pond without aquatic life. This is because fishes are prone to several diseases and require a well maintained ecosystem to stay healthy. Given below are a few important tips for managing your fish pond effectively. Filter Your Pond Adequately Fish produce biological wastes and hence adequate filtration is extremely important in a fish pond. Filters also help in aerating the water

How fish breathe The water surrounding a fish contains a small percentage of dissolved oxygen. In the surface waters there can be about 5 ml. of oxygen per litre of water. This is much less than the 210 ml. of oxygen per litre of air that we breath‚ so the fish must use a special system for concentrating the oxygen in the water to meet their physiological needs. Here it comes again‚ a counter current exchange system‚ similar to the one we found in the fish’s swim bladder and in the tuna’s muscles

Kalia Espinoza Macdonald AP Biology 30 August 2010 Your Inner Fish Your Inner Fish‚ by Neil Shubin‚ is a journey into the 3.5- billion- year history of the human body. It is filled with many interesting topics covering the subject. The four topics I liked from it were: Getting a Grip‚ Handy Genes‚ Teeth Everywhere‚ and Adventures in Body Building. I feel these topics gave key information about our past. Chapter 2‚ Getting a Grip‚ talks

The tires absorb moisture from roads while in motion. It can also pull carbon dioxide out of the air to fuel the moss’ photosynthesis which has clean oxygen as its byproduct. Absorbing 4‚000 tons of C02 a year Goodyear’s estimate is that the Oxygene‚ if all the 2.5 million vehicles in Paris switch to the brand‚ could produce 3‚000 tons of oxygen and absorb more than 4‚000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The tire‚ however‚ goes beyond cleaning the air.

Honestly‚ can they be anymore clingy? Really were the Michael Jordan’s of the element world. Todays the day I leave my home in the Tundra Biome‚ finally graduated from the periodic table and am on my way to the Tropics. I can’t wait‚ I’m so sick of this freezing weather and lack of any biotic diversity.

Proteins have various functions such as making and breaking chemical bonds‚ transport‚ movement‚ signaling‚ regulation and metabolism (cellular process). Peptide Bonds are important while discussing proteins. Peptide Bonds are covalent bonds that join 2 amino acids‚ amino acids are also proteins monomer. Next are Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates incorporate Carbon‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. They provide short term energy
