are used by producers and consumers. Photosynthesis has two stages, the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions (the calvin cycle). Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. Energy captured during these reactions is used to synthesize ATP and NADPH. The calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts. it uses NADPH and ATP to convert CO2 into simple carbohydrates. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, and other

in many areas; medicine and agricultural livestock health and production are two major applications for this discipline of study. There are different forms of energy metabolism throughout organisms on this planet, however many share the same basic cycles and functions at a metabolic rate. For example, a practically universal central pathway for the metabolism of glucose is glycolysis; the break down of glucose to attain metabolic energy to do biological work (Cox and Nelson 2013). Energy is obtained

The data I collected for Life Cycle assessment was of LCD TV. I was surprised after this study that whatever products we are using is causing at least some environmental damages either during production; transportation or at end of its life cycle stages. Owens is right in quoting Jevons that the economical use of fuel is not equivalent to a diminishing consumption. Same thing I noted in my life cycle assessment of TV that within 5 years alone the consumption of LCD TV rose from 100 million to 200

house, farmers use greenhouses to trap warm air so they can grow plants that normally do not grow in colder months all year long. Now taking this in to a large scale, by driving cars, planes and other things that burn gas to run, we are putting more carbon dioxide in the air, which traps warm air, causing the earth to become warmer then what would be normal. Scientist have taken satellite pictures of the polar caps showing that the glaciers have been melting since 1850, which they claim is because

storms and lose of environments. The vegetation is gone and no topsoil, no humus. Affecting the hydrologic cycle because the soil has a low water holding capacity focus run off to occur and soil to dry out, desertification. Lose of water means lose of life, no organism are going to survive. Taking a toll on both The Carbon, and Nitrogen cycle. Without plant life in this area the both cycles will be thrown completely off. Photosynthesis is need for all life in every ecosystem that the sun touches

Caner Bektas Comm106 Fall2012 Automobiles with Less Carbon Dioxide Emission Every day millions of people drive their cars in order to go their jobs or schools or because of any other reason. Unquestionably, automobile makes our lives easier and that is the reason why automobile is considered as one of the most important inventions. However, as the automobiles make easier our lives they also damage the environment. The carbon dioxide emission is one of the major harmful effects caused by

1. Reflect on the autotrophs and heterotrophs in your Ecocolumn by answering the questions below: Two autotrophs that can be found in my Ecocolumn are the anacharis located in the aquatic environment and the pinto bean plants located in the terrestrial environment. Two heterotrophs found in my Ecocolumn are the ladybugs that live in the terrestrial region and the guppies which are in the aquatic region. Data that we recorded from our Ecocolumn demonstrated that both the autotrophs and the heterotrophs
