Discussion Section-1 November 17‚ 2011 The other CO₂ Problem Todays oceans are not the same as they once were prior to the industrial revolution. The ocean serves as a reservoir for the worlds green house gasses. The increase in anthropogenic CO₂ has also resulted in an increase in the uptake by the ocean of CO₂. As a result of this uptake‚ the ocean is becoming progressively more and more acidic. This acidification of the ocean is expected to have great impacts on marine ecosystems. Coral

You might have thanked the trees for giving oxygen but never phytoplankton. What can they do except try to steal the Krusty Krab formula? Well‚ what if I said that without phytoplankton‚ the entire marine ecosystem collapse‚ an increase of 1/3 accumulation of CO2‚ and oxygen drop up to 50 percent in the atmosphere‚ which will lead to human extinction. Sounds dramatic‚ but it is true. I seriously think that we need to care more about these planktons‚ since they are not unlimited in the ocean‚ and

reactant used will be Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide which will be the buffer solution is a PH of 7.2. My hypothesis for the experiment is that as the concentration of the enzyme is increased the rate of reaction will be increased‚ producing oxygen at a faster rate. The results in my opinion will show positive correlation. The amount of buffer solution (hydrogen peroxide) will be kept the same throughout the experiment in the interest of reliability and the amount of enzyme (potato) will be

the flame showed small flash with a pop. Oxygen Step B: Describe the hydrogen peroxide and manganese reaction. As adding hydrogen peroxide to the test tube containing a few pieces of manganese metal‚ gas bubbles rose from the solution slowly at first and vigorously over time. This reaction continued for a long time and solution turned into brown opaque color. Step E: Record your observations with the glowing wooden toothpick and the oxygen-filled pipet. The flame of the glowing wooden

October 22‚ 2014 Biology 1112.317 Lab Report Amounts of Carbon Dioxide/ Oxygen Animals are Producing/ Consuming Introduction Every cell needs a source of energy in order to perform their daily functions. However the process to get this energy is different for plant and animal cells. Plants cells undergo a process called photosynthesis where light energy from the sun is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. For animal cells‚ the process is known as cellular respiration by

strategically answered in the following work. The Respiratory System delivers oxygen to the body and takes the carbon dioxide away. This system is made up of organs that allow you the ability to breath. These organs are the Lungs‚ Trachea‚ Bronchi‚ and the Diaphragm. The lungs are considered the main organ of the system. It takes in the oxygen and releases the carbon dioxide. How this happens is the red blood cells take oxygen to the body and take the carbon dioxide to the lungs‚ and this allows us to

40) Describe the structure of a mammalian respiratory system. Include in your discussion the mechanisms of inspiration and expiration. In mammals‚ oxygen first passes through the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is covered with mucus and cicilia to filter the air. The nasal cavity leads to the pharynx. The pharynx consists of the eustachian tube and the tonsils. The inhaled air then passes to the larynx‚ trachea‚ and bronchi. The bronchi lead to the bronchioles in the lungs. In the lungs the pleural

the water. Another element that the Brook Trout need is oxygen. All trout need 7-10 ppm of oxygen. If oxygen is too low in the water the trout would become slow and would maybe even die. They would be swimming very fast one day‚ then you come in the next day and they look like they had gained 100 years of their lifespan. The material that provides the oxygen to the trout tank is the oxygenator or air pump. It pumps 10 liters of oxygen

An investigation to see how much oxygen is given off when different concentrations of catalase are added with hydrogen peroxide. Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic

aluminium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode. 4Al3+ + 12e- 4Al (aluminium metal at the (-) cathode) reduction. 6O2- - 12e- 3O2 (oxygen gas at the (+) anode) oxidation. Aluminium is more dense than the alumina/cryolite solution and so it falls to the bottom of the cell where it can be tapped off as pure liquid metal. The overall reaction is aluminium oxide aluminium + oxygen. 2Al2O3(l) 4Al(l) + 3O2(g) Oxygen is given off at the
