    fermentation which create ethanol and NAD+. The class used six different types of sugars to determine which fuels fermentation by measuring the amount the carbon dioxide bubbles produced by the yeast. Yeast are single-cell fungi that cannot make their own food. They take the sugars in the surrounding environment and convert it into carbon dioxide. They use ethanol fermentation when no oxygen is available‚ which is different from eukaryotes in which they use lactic acid fermentation. The sugar my group

    to save energy‚ and wrap it in an insulating blanket if it is more than 5 years old. Buy low-flow showerheads to save hot water and about 350 pounds of carbon dioxide yearly. Wash your clothes in warm or cold water to reduce your use of hot water and the energy required to produce it. That change alone can save at least 500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually in most households. Use the energy-saving settings on yourdishwasher and let the dishes air-dry. 7. Use the "Off" Switch It’s also a good idea

In glycolysis‚ the 6-carbon sugar‚ glucose‚ is broken down into two molecules of a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvate. This change is accompanied by a net gain of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol (Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickery‚ 2010). • What is the role of the citric acid

    to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting from pollution. Atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) is known as a Greenhouse gases‚ which means the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can lead to global warming which could affect the world’s environment. Scientists have determined that humans are responsible for the increases by use of cars‚ industries‚ and forest fires. An increase in the amount of carbon in the air results in more acidic rain which may cause harm to the environment

    process that releases chemical energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules to produce ATP when oxygen is present. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6CO2= 6H2O. The process of respiration contains three main parts‚ glycolysis‚ Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport Chain. The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and is considered an anaerobic process which splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP. The Krebs cycle takes

    issue. Many scientists believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heating effect. On the atmosphere‚ this could be very dangerous for human life. There are several things that we can do the solve problems of global warming. First solution is to stop producing carbon dioxide. We can do by switching from oil‚ coal‚ and gas to renewable energy. Another solution is to plant more trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Last solution is to use less energy

    portion of earth ’s heat and prevent it from escaping into space. This keeps our planet warm enough for life and is known as the natural "greenhouse effect". These atmospheric gases are known as greenhouse gases. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone (Environmental Protection Agency). Without the natural greenhouse effect‚ the earth ’s average temperature would be much colder‚ and the planet would be uninhabitable. Although this is a necessary

    Is global warming due to human actions?  Introduction Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of both the earth’s near surface air and the oceans. The temperature increase began in mid twentieth century and is predicted to continue into the future. For example‚ during the last hundred years ending in 2005‚ the earth’s surface air temperature has increased drastically (Thomas‚ C. D‚ 2004). Basically‚ global warming is the recent increase in the average air and ocean
