Carbon dioxide is both a vital requirement for producers – the first organisms in any food chain‚ and at times a dangerous waste product. Where plants use carbon dioxide during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis‚ at night they also produce small quantities due to respiration. Fundamentally‚ carbon dioxide reacts with ribulose bisphosphate to produce glycerate 3-phosphate in the light independent reaction. In turn glycerate3-phosphate is reduced to triose phosphate using reduced NADP

OXYGEN-CARBON CYCLE The carbon-oxygen cycles are actually two independent cycles. However‚ both these cycles are interconnected as well as interdependent on each other to some extent. There are four processes involved in the completion of the carbon-oxygen cycle. Oxygen-carbon cycle processes are: * Photosynthesis Plants undergo photosynthesis that helps them produce energy and food for themselves. During photosynthesis‚ plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorb water (H2O) with the help

have the same world we had a few decades ago. We should all take precautions and find ways to reduce pollution. Pollution will lead us nowhere except to create disease and suffering. I have just met up with a scientish‚ Dr Leong‚ from the House of Science Malaysia. He has given me tips on reducing the pollution. Firstly‚ we must not do open burning. Do stop a person who is doing so because that can reduce the smoke from blending into the air and thus getting into our lungs. Open burning can cause

seetha_lexmy@hotmail.com‚ ganesan_711@yahoo.co.in Abstract This paper deals with the trends in carbon trade in the global market as well as in India. Not limiting itself with studying the economic impact of carbon trade‚ the paper also goes on to understand its ecological implications. The paper also reviews the pricing and accounting of carbon credits and its implications. The trends indicate that carbon trade has been increasing over the years. However‚ the project based transactions such as Clean

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION: Deforestation‚ clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms‚ ranches‚ or urban use. The term deforestation is often misused to describe any activity where all trees in an area are removed. However in temperate climates‚ the removal of all trees in an area in conformance with sustainable forestry practices—is correctly

Adventures of Zircon and Carbon Zircon and Carbon were brothers from the Triangulum Galaxy. They are two twin aliens that stood 6’7 and were a stunning color of mint green. They traveled 2.7 light years to get to Earth for a special mission. The mission was currently unknown. They were rushed on to a spacecraft and only sent with coordinates and supplies to lead them along the way. The coordinates they had read “Latitude: -64.15164‚ Longitude: -10.58414‚ Distortion: 5.26.” The spacecraft finally

Carbon‚ an element discovered before history itself‚ is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. It can be found in the sun‚ the stars‚ comets‚ and the atmospheres of most planets. There are close to ten million known carbon compounds‚ many thousands of which are vital to the basis of life itself. Carbon occurs in many forms in nature. One of its purest forms is diamond. Diamond is the hardest substance known on earth. Although diamonds found in nature are colorless and
