substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). They are the producers in a food chain, such asplants on land or algae in water, in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs. They do not need a living source of energy or organic carbon. Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and also create a store of chemical energy. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent

PROJECT IN SCIENCE 9 Submitted by: Rogie Marie C. Abecia Submitted to: Ms. Teresita Nanales March 20, 2015 THE FLOW OF ENERGY AND MATTER IN ECOSYSTEM When we think about ecosystems, we need to think both big and small. We need to consider the recycling of atoms between organisms and within their environment and the flow of energy through living organisms and its changes from one form to another. We need to appreciate the relationships between organisms, and between organisms and their

LESSON 1: History of Electronics The introduction of vacuum tubes at the beginning of the 20th century was the starting point of the rapid growth of modern electronics. With the vacuum tubes the manipulation signals became possible, which could not be done with the early telegraph and telephone circuit or with the early transmitters using high voltage sparks to create radio waves. Example: weak radio and audio signals can be amplified, audio signals such as music or voice can be superimposed

To be led like a machine is when things run smoothly and the same way at all times. It would be very boring and just something that is possible for humans because we are not robots. Some advantages of having robotic employees are: * Everyone would perform at the same rate and produce the same level of quality * If a person was broken one would only need to call a repairman to make a quick repair then back to work * No one would have feelings or egos * The could work for as long

Problems: When Derek was hired there was a lot of was worry that he would be underqualified and unexperienced. As well that he was only being hired because he was the owner’s son-in-law. These worries were reinforced when Derek was unable to accurately quote customers on the jobs that his department was supposed to do. As well Derek didn’t complete many invoices meaning some jobs where the work had been done were not being billed to the clients. When approached about these invoices Derek pawned

Introduction The energy content of a substance, called its enthalpy, cannot be measured. However, the enthalpy change, ∆H, of a chemical reaction can be measured. Most chemical reactions are accompanied by energy changes, usually in the form of heat energy. The enthalpy change of a reaction is the heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. Exothermic reactions are reactions that releases heat energy to the surroundings. The enthalpy of the products is lower than that of the reactants
