Another major concern of Carbon offset is that, it is sound in theory, but not yet in practice. First, as what did by Catholic Church in the early 16th century, carbon offset is considered as indulgences in the first place, which purchase forgiveness of past emission but not substitute for no emission. Offsets allow a company or an individual, rather than reducing their own emissions, to pay for others to do the same. It is a zero-sum game. If all goes well, 1 tone is emitted by the purchaser

Summary 1 Succinate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activity In Cellular Fractures (Lab 5) The nuclear, mitochondrial and cytoplasm fractions of cauliflower inflorescence tissue was isolated . The concentration of the proteins in the fractions was then measured, denatured and reduced by SDS-PAGE. The purpose of this lab was to measure the activity of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme. I predict that the presence of heat will denature the enzyme. I also predict that out of the different cellular fractions

Laura Henderson GY 102 Precambrian Period – The beginning of life Our planet formed from a cloud of dust and gas some 4.56 billion years ago. The Earth’s vast history is divided in four major eras: the Precambrian, the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The Precambrian era covers most of our planet’s history and lasted from Earth’s inception until 542 million years ago. It was during this era that the Earth became solid, the atmosphere became breathable and life emerged. There is

Exercise 1. Part 1) How does a class being conducted online instead of on campus increase or decrease the classes' contribution to the carbon cycle during the term? Consider the differences between the two in terms of methods of travel, and use of facilities, energy, and other resources. Remember to focus on the impact to the carbon cycle. Part 2) Complete the ecological footprint quiz at the following link: http://myfootprint.org/en/visitor_information and report your results. What did you learn

Photosynthesis: the basis of life 1. Basics of Photosynthesis: a. Review the anatomy of the leaf and the cellular locations and organells involved in photosynthesis. Answer: A leaf consists of waxy cuticle layer with stoma surrounded by guard cells, xylem vascular bundle, and a mesophyll. The chloroplast is located within the mesophyll cells. The stroma and thylakoids are located inside the chloroplast. The thylakoids contain chlorophyll. The organells that participate in photosynthesis are

1. A. Soil Formation Weathering break up the surface of parent rocks into small particles. Air and water enter the spaces between the particles and chemical changes take pace which resut in the production of chemical substances. Bacteria and plant life soon appear. When plant and animal organisms die, they decay and produce a substance called humus. This is very important to so fertility. Bacteria play a vital role into the decomposition of plants and animals remains. The end product of these

PHOTOSYNTHESIS • • • • • It is the physico-chemical process on which the every existence of life on this planet depends. It is an endergonic reaction and anabolic process. It is synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O by utilising the light energy in which O2 is the bye product. The overall reaction of photosynthesis can be represented by the equation: Light and 6CO2 + 12H2O Chlorophyll → C6 H12 O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 • From carbohydrates, the other organic substances of the plant
