“The energy for life comes from the sun.” Outline the role of the photosynthesis process to explain what is meant by this statement. (3 marks) chlorophyll 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy C6 H12 O6 (aq) + 6O2(g) 2830 kJ glucose Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the sun’s light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates such as glucose‚ sucrose‚ starch and cellulose. Carbohydrates are high energy compounds

immediate action to incorporation renewable energy sources is crucial. Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the

Energy Systems The ATP – CP system is primarily used for short duration exercises (about ten to twelve seconds) which involve a high intensity or explosive movements. Energy is stored within the chemical bonds between the Adenosine and the three phosphate molecules. Water is added in the chemical reaction‚ causing one of the bonds to break‚ which releases one molecule of energy from the phosphate. This molecule is used for the muscle contraction. The ATP then turns into ADP as it’s lost a phosphate

Eight diagnostic techniques‚ treatments‚ and procedures related to the respiratory system. 1. Bronchoscopy is a type of procedure to see the airways to the lung (bronchi) or the lung. A small tube will be insert through the nose (or mouth) till it reaches the bronchi. The doctor can examine the upper airways‚ the larynx‚ trachea‚ and the bronchi. Usually the patient is under anesthesia‚ or took a type of medicine to help to relax. This type of procedure is used for multiple reasons. Examples: To

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease‚ Tuberculosis‚ Lung cancer‚ Asthma‚ emphysema‚ and bronchitis are just a few of the common respiratory infections that disrupt the functions of organs and tissues responsible for providing oxygen to the body. In this paper I will discuss Chronic obstructive

Using the textbook example of the Upper Respiratory Tract Infection and compare it with obesity. Like URTI‚ obesity effects physical‚ and psychological health which could potential cause more issues down the road. Looking at physical health‚ obesity can affect the immune system. Which is due to a positive feedback loop between the immune response in obesity and the inflammation if adipose tissue (1). Which basically means obesity decreases the immune system due to malnutrition (poor diet) \ (2).

There are 3 energy systems the body uses to create ATP. They are the ATP-PC system‚ the lactic acid system and the Aerobic energy system. Both the ATP-PC and lactic acid systems are anaerobic and therefore do not use oxygen‚ and the aerobic system does use oxygen. When we begin to exercise the first system we would use to create ATP is the ATP-PC system. This system acts by creating ATP from phosphocreatine‚ making use specificially of the phosphate molecule. When energy is used or expended it

The European Union Energy Policy: An Initiative in Progress Anna Rulska April 2006 I. Introduction In January 2006‚ Russia cut off supply of gas to Ukraine. The European Union (EU)‚ dependent on gas from Russia‚ delivered through Ukraine‚ realized the full extent of its vulnerability in the realm of energy security and a need‚ more pressing now than ever‚ for a common energy policy. Shortages of energy carry implications not only for domestic producers and consumers‚ but also for
