Eckleburg‚ The valley of Ashes‚ so yeah‚ We were given many symbols‚ but I have chosen to draw two of those symbols on my cover: the green light and the uncut books in Jay Gatsby’s house. The green light‚ situated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsby’s West Egg lawn‚ symbolizes Daisy Buchanan‚ Gatsby’s love interest. The green light is a light at the end of the dock at her house and Gatsby tends to stare at it and think of her and what could’ve been. It’s an unattainable

Photosynthesis Matt Lazar 5/13/96 8th Hr. When you and me eat‚ we find our food. When plants eat‚ they make their own food and energy. They make their food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis oxygen is also produced. Photosynthesis is "a process in which green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water....The reverse of this reaction provides energy for plants‚ for animals that eat plants‚ for animals that eat animals that eat plants"

The Effects of Red Tide Recently released statistics show that 2005 was one of the worst years ever for Florida’s manatee population. One of the leading causes of death was “Red Tide”. Scientists have now linked the effects on the manatees to the human population. Red Tide‚ or blooms of the algae Karenia brevis‚ release toxins which cause respiratory effects as well as immune depression. The red tide events seem to be increasing‚ especially on Florida’s west coast. One controversial theory

An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis All animals and most microorganisms rely on the continual uptake of large amounts of organic compounds from their environment. These compounds are used to provide both the carbon skeletons for biosynthesis and the metabolic energy that drives cellular processes. It is believed that the first organisms on the primitive Earth had access to an abundance of the organic compounds produced by geochemical processes‚ but that most of these original compounds were used up billions

Red light cameras are becoming a more common sight in the last decade. The debate on whether these cameras are improving the safety of drivers or just causing another financial burden to the states is still as strong as ever. These red light cameras are saving lives and not imposing unnecessary costs on states‚ but instead the cameras are saving states millions of dollars each year. In 2007 it was recorded that each year 751 people die in crashes due to someone running a red light‚ which comes to

Red light runners cause hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries each year. In 2009‚ 676 people were killed and an estimated 130‚000 were injured in crashes that involved red light running. About half of the deaths in red light running crashes are pedestrians‚ bicyclists‚ and occupants in other vehicles who are hit by the red light runners. An Institute study of urban crashes found that those involving drivers who ran red lights‚ stop signs and other traffic controls were the most common

Consequences of greenhouse-effect temperature rises Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks for the world’s climate researchers. This is because the natural processes that cause rain‚ hail and snow storms‚ increases in sea level and other expected effects of global warming are dependent on many different factors. It is also difficult to predict the size of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades‚ as this is determined to a great extent by

The idea of an ocean’s surface with a red hue may seem like a very amazing phenomena but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Red tides are becoming more and more harmful to not just the sea life it’s consumes but to us humans as well. When we use pesticides and other man made chemicals‚ we are washing them away without a care of what happens next. In doing so‚ they are eventually ending up back into our oceans and cause these harmful algal blooms‚ known as Red Tide. Most of these algal blooms are toxic

The Greenhouse Effect Rationale The “Greenhouse Effect” is a term that refers to a physical property of the Earth’s atmosphere. If the Earth had no atmosphere‚ its average surface temperature would be very low of about 18℃ rather than the comfortable 15℃ found today. The difference in temperature is due to a suite of gases called greenhouse gases which affect the overall energy balance of the Earth’s system by absorbing infrared radiation. In its existing state‚ the Earth atmosphere system balances
