WEEK 3 INDIVIDUAL Sandy Edwards SCI/230 NOVEMBER 13, 2011 DAVID HALE WEEK 3 INDIVIDUAL We need constant energy to carry out all the required functions like breathing, motion, growth, and cognitive processes. It is burning the energy through the process of metabolism, which is the reaction of all things necessary in life. The energy is released through growth whether it is for new cells or tissues, our body will produce sweat to eliminate the excess heat and energy that is accumulated this

Grassland Tonya Chaney SCI 201- 1403B-03 Professor Obenson Colorado Technical University August 20, 2014 An ecosystem is a biological community in which locale, physical, and chemical factors play a major role in the make-up of the biotic and abiotic environment. They can range from ponds, forests, estuaries, or grasslands. Some ecosystems are more complex than others depending on where they are located. Some have similar characteristics and some are different in many ways such as the abiotic

is changed to around 7.2 because the blood picks up carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced by our cells in the citric acid cycle and each round of the citric acid cycle causes our carbon dioxide to increase. Each cell performs this citric acid cycle, which causes a lot of carbon dioxide to build up. Our blood picks the carbon dioxide up to be able to bring it back to the lungs to be blown out of the body, but as the blood is picking up carbon dioxide it is also leaving the oxygen it needs from

A complex of interrelated food chains in an ecological community. Animals and plants at the lower levels use up part of the energy for their own maintenance. They can't store 100% of the energy they consume in their tissues. Biogeochemical Cycles are important because they are necessary for our existence and environment. Evaporation. The sun heats water in rivers, lakes, and the ocean and turns it

Week 1 Lab DeVry University Online Question 1 Discuss 5 products that come from tropical rain forests. The rain forest provides us with a number of products. First, they provide a lot of food for the global food supply. Second, it provides the world with a lot of medicines. The forest has many plants the hay chemicals in them used to treat diseases like malaria and diabetes. Next, wood is extracted from the forest for the world. Many of the world’s nice timber types

Cellular respiration consists of multiple stages that aim to break down glucose into water and carbon dioxide to generate ATP for energy use. Glycolysis in the cytosol, Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation on inner mitochondrial membrane take place in a consecutive order for cellular respiration. The glucose provides as the energy source when electrons mainly come from carbon and received by oxygen molecule in the end of chemiosmosis. The electrons are carried by NADH

to change my diet. Leaning more towards a vegetarian diet would improve my health. Carbon Cycle There is a two-step process in which the carbon cycle goes through. One step involves photosynthesis and the second involves respiration. Certain organisms go through certain processes. For example, all plants go through both photosynthesis and respiration; whereas fungi and animals only undergo respiration. Carbon that is emitted from plants is cycled to the atmosphere and back into the plant. As plants

change has been a topic that has been talked about for awhile now. If it is happening, if it is not, if humans cause it, and if it is happening naturally. Humans could be causing it by the many things we do, but the earth could be going through natural cycles which is causing climate change. There is evidence to support all of these arguments. Even scientists are having arguments about whether it is occuring or not. It’s weird to think that so many people, like scientists, disagree on one thing. Some
