1. Each chloroplast has two outer membranes, which encloses a semi-fluid interior called the stroma. I inside the stroma is a third membrane called the thylakoid membrane. It located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It is the light-independent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane absorbs photon energy of different wavelengths of light. Embedded in the thylakoid membranes are photosystems: Clusters of 200 to 300 pigments and other molecules that surround a pair of

L-glutamic acid plays a key role in the metabolism of amino acids. The key steps in the cell metabolism in all organisms are the synthesis of both glutamate and glutamine. This is because they denote the only means of incorporating inorganic nitrogen into carbon backbones. Inorganic nitrogen is assimilated in the form of ammonium, which is incorporated as an amino group to glutamate or an amido group to glutamine. In particular, the amino group of glutamate is used in the synthesis of pyrimidines, purines

climate change’s evil twin “. Ocean acidification is referred to “climate change’s evil twin” because it's a significant and harmful piece of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that's invisible and untouchable because its effects are happening underwater. At first scientist was sure that this would be a good thing because it leaves very little carbon dioxide in the air to warm the planet. About one quarter of the CO2 is released by burning coal , oil and gas doesn't stay present but instead dissolves

something called the fatty acid spiral, which is then transformed into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water using the electron transport chain and the citric acid cycle. * ATP is created from both the citric acid cycle and the fatty acid spiral (Brandt, n.d.). 2. Saturated vs Unsaturated fatty acids * Saturated fatty acids: carbons are single bonded, solid at room temperature * Unsaturated fatty acids: carbons are double bonded, liquid at room temperature (Fatty Acid, 2015) 1. Saturated

to melting include changes to mountain habitats and an accelerated water cycle. Although some modeling has shown no serious deterioration of the earth’s glaciers it is becoming increasingly evident that continued global warming would have serious repercussions on the planet’s ice. With the increasing acceptance of global warming as an important phenomenon occurring in our environment today, its effects on the natural cycles of the planet are becoming the center of research. One of the most interesting

if its lower than 7.2 and alkalosis if higher than 7.4. Carbon dioxide is made in the citric acid cycle. Most of all of the cells in our body are making carbon dioxide at all times. A person’s lungs blow out carbon dioxide, which is crucial in maintaining the pH level in the blood. The blood flows through the body picking up carbon dioxide that is being made by the cells going to the lungs to expel. The lungs have the lowest amount of carbon dioxide, which is the acidic component to our blood. Lungs

the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. These gases are emitted into atmosphere mainly by human activities. Global warming has been a major concern nowadays, because the average global temperature is climbing significantly. The production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heating effect on the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human
