pipette. The apparatus was left in a warm place for a day and observations were made. Observations/ Results: It was observed that after sometime‚ air bubbles arose and turned the lime water into milky precipitate showing that the air evolved was carbon dioxide. When the rubber bung of the test tube containing sugar and yeast was removed‚ the smell of alcohol was observed. Discussion: Respiration is a series of metabolic reactions occurring on cellular levels and releasing energy from organic material

debate is if the cause of these events is a natural process or not. The way our planet is warmed is by the sun; the sun’s heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses‚ and become trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gasses‚ such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses‚ we would see little to no rays being absorbed by the Earth‚ causing it to be cold. However‚ the question we must ask is‚ are we absorbing too much of the sun’s rays and are we causing an issue

and air‚ are being destroyed. Our forests are being cut down at an alarming rate‚ bearing enormous impacts on the health of earth. Our oceans and seas are being polluted and over-fished. Our atmosphere is injected with increasing amounts of carbon dioxide‚ which hurts the entire planet. All of these problems can be traced to our vast‚ rapidly expanding population‚ which has stressed our world far too greatly. Our Population In 1994‚ the world population was 5‚602‚800‚000. This population had

The Greenhouse Effect is the way that gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun. They let heat in‚ but prevent most of it from escaping. It is essential for life because we need a certain amount of radiation to heat up our atmosphere. What human activities produce Greenhouse Gases? By burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and gas‚ Carbon Dioxide is released into the atmosphere

naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and cooling system‚ and other planets heating without human life on them. The Earth has its own greenhouse gas emission cycle‚ releasing billions of tons of methane gas and carbon dioxide a year. MIT students researched and recorded that the methane levels in the atmosphere have increased more than in the past ten years. Casey Kazan wrote an article about the MIT scientists’ study and said “ Since all worldwide levels rose simultaneously

involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The body requires a constant amount of oxygen to function properly‚ though the body can survive for a short time without food or water we need oxygen to survive and it is required for all cells to survive‚ a lack of it can result in death. We as human beings taken in oxygen from air and release carbon dioxide (which is waste) and water through exhaling; the continual intake of oxygen (O2) and the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) is what’s necessary to sustain

Prime function of the respiratory system is breathing. Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide is all that takes plays by function of the respiratory organs. Breathing is a process by which oxygen in the air is brought in to the lungs and further in to close contact with blood. The blood absorbs the oxygen and carries to all parts of the body. Simultaneously blood gives up waste matter in form of carbon dioxide through lungs to carry out by breath-out. Hence the respiratory system keeps on working

releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction‚ causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and therefore leavening the mixture. Most commercially available baking powders are made up of an alkaline component (typically sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda)‚ one or more acid salts(such as cream of tartar)‚ and an inert starch (cornstarch in most cases‚ though potato starch may also be used). Baking soda is the source of the carbon dioxide‚ and the

combustion engine vehicles. When these fossil fuels are burnt‚ they let out carbon dioxide‚ which is yet another greenhouse gas which traps heat within the atmosphere of the Earth and contributes to global warming. Secondly when the Earth is dug to extract these fossil fuels in the process known as mining‚ the methane inside the Earth’s crust escapes into the atmosphere and adds to other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. If we start investigating the anthropogenic causes of global warming‚ we
