Biology Notes: Threats to biodiversity in MA 1. Climate change: temp‚ sea levels‚ precipitation 2. Non climate threats such as habitat loss‚ habitat fragmentation‚ and invasive species and air and water pollution Fragmentation: often due to man (dams‚ roads‚ and general development) Elements of biodiversity: Species‚ ecosystems & landscapes Mammals from bats to bears Bats got the white nose fungus which caused the bats to die and the insect population flourished because the bats main job

Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and that of other planets is studied. Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It can be defined as the study of the sources‚ reactions‚ transport‚ effects‚ and fates of chemical species in the air‚ soil‚ and water environments; and the effect of human activity on these. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary

Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in the foods you eat‚ the air you breathe‚ your soap‚ your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. Here ’s a look at some everyday chemistry. Elements in the Human Body Steve Allen‚ Getty Images Your body is made up of chemical compounds‚ which are combinations of elements. While you probably know your body is mostly water‚ which is hydrogen and oxygen‚ can you name the other elements that make

C H A P T E R 5 Basic Concepts from Organic Chemistry 5.1 | INTRODUCTION The fundamental information that environmental engineers and scientists need concerning organic chemistry differs considerably from that which the organic chemist requires. This difference is due to the fact that chemists are concerned principally with the synthesis of compounds‚ whereas environmental engineers and scientists are concerned‚ in the main‚ with how the organic compounds in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous wastes

Biology Revision Notes Biochemical Tests: Proteins - add biurettes reagent to the sample. If protein is present‚ clear colour change from blue to purple. Reducing Sugars – add Benedict’s reagent to the sample. Heat in Bunsen or water bath. If reducing sugars are present‚ clear colour changes from blue -> orange red precipitate. Lipids – dissolve sample in ethanol. Slowly pour the solution into the water slowly. If lipids are present a white emulation forms on the surface. Starch – add iodine
