Energy Alternatives: * Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. In a general sense in contemporary society‚ alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels‚ such as high carbon dioxide emissions‚ which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming. * This chapter discussed only a few of the possible alternatives to our current combustible energy generation system

NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the centre ‚ or nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the most powerful source of energy that exist. Nuclear energy is use in scientific research and in medicine treatments. It powers satellites and submarines‚ and it is used to produce electricity. People have also put nuclear energy to destructive uses through the creation of weapons.1 Nuclear energy also called ATOMIC ENERGY‚ energy

TIDAL ENERGY [pic] *75% of the planet’s surface consits of water. Our water supply transformed a barren planet into a lush green garden of life with a multitude of biodiversity. Water has easily fufilled our every need in many ways. As we near the twentyfirst century‚ a time when public attention is focused on the environment and society is increasing at an ever accelerating rate‚ the energy crisis continues to burden us. Questions of what to do about increasing energy demands and future requirements

Geothermal energy What is geothermal energy‚ and how can we use it in society? Geothermal energy is the use of the Earths very own energy. It’s renewable‚ clean and can range to easily acquirable hot springs on the surface or hot rock found a few miles below the surface. Or you can go a bit deeper and hit the extremities of the molten rock (magma). In the US around 80% of all geothermal hotspots are found on the western states i.e. Alaska and Hawaii. Wells are drilled deep into the underground

The Flow of Energy Stacey Ann Langston SCI/209 February 3‚ 2013 Cynthia Collin-Clausen The Flow of Energy The marine ecosystem relies on solar energy converted through photosynthesis by producers. Consumers‚ fish for example‚ metabolize‚ and release as chemical energy to convert into mechanical energy. The ecosystem distributes energy to living organisms through heat energy. Decomposers break down dead organisms and deplete them of their

(RENEWABLE ENERGY) IN PAKISTAN By The wind of change is blown and world has now emphasizing towards new technologies out of which renewable energy is important one. Keeping in view the commercial and industrial consumption of oil and gas everyone is conscious to have some alternate resource for energy production. Wind is also one of the resources for the power generation. A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy; a process

Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? The main function of cellular respiration is to generate ATP for cellular work; it is the process of harvesting chemical energy from organic fuel and converting it to ATP energy. The three stages of cell respiration include: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Electron Transport(Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickery‚ 2010). • What is the role of glycolysis

Effects of Pollution 1. Environment Degradation : Environment is the first casualty for increase in pollution weather in air or water. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere leads to smog which can restrict sunlight from reaching the earth. Thus‚ preventing plants in the process of photosynthesis. Gases like Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide can cause acid rain. Water pollution in terms of Oil spill may lead to death of several wildlife species. 2. Human Health : The decrease in quality
