converted into potential energy ,the light Dependent Reaction produces oxygen Dark Reaction takes place in Stroma of the chloroplasts in photosynthetic plants, Energy from light are stored has ATP and NADPH .in Calvin cycle this stored energy is used to make sugar molecule, the Calvin cycle is a complex theory of chemical reactions carried out in stroma. 2. Why is photosynthesis important to you? it’s the basis of life... the only way for plants and animals to exist is for plants to be alive because

Tropical rainforests are an unbelievably diverse and fascinating biome of planet earth there are many different regions of these rainforests however, they only cover approximately 6% of the earth’s surface. The rainforests are estimated to be the location to where more than half of all the plants and animals in the world reside. These areas are all situated on or near the equator where the heat is the most dependable over the planet some of the location include: South & Central America, Africa, Australasia

Before this semester, I had not known even half of what I learned and I really enjoyed being educated on this subject. This semester was by far more entertaining and easier to follow than the last. What I learned over this course was the carbon and nitrogen cycle. I had barely even known what these were up until a few weeks ago. I learned how they repeated themselves and how we affect the environment we live in. I learned about global climate change. How we are adding an extreme amount of CO2 in

Hypotheses For this experiment there were two substances to be brought in and experimented with, substances that were tried were pure honey and water. 1). 50 ml of pure honey will produce 10 cm of carbon dioxide. 2). 25 ml of pure honey diluted with 25 ml of water will produce 7 cm of carbon dioxide. Introduction There are two processes to remove energy, that is aerobic and anaerobic. Anaerobic is the process of fermentation and requires no oxygen. Aerobic is cellular respiration and

increase in greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere, increase in atmospheric aerosols, and changes in land use, for instance, through cutting down of forests to create farms. The increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes an increase in the amount of heat that is being retained and consequently, increasing the temperatures on the earth’s surface significantly. For example, the amount of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere

human activities such as leakage from natural gas systems and the raising of livestock. Natural processes in soil and chemical reactions in the atmosphere help remove CH4 from the atmosphere. Methane's lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide (CO2), but CH4 is more efficient at trapping radiation than CO2. Pound for pound, the comparative impact of CH4 on climate change is over 20 times greater than CO2over a 100-year period. Globally, over 60% of total CH4 emissions come from

a lot of chemicals in it such as potassium, magnesium sulfate and calcium. There are rocks in the lakes and streams that play a major part in this process. When it rains inland it contains some dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air which causes the rain water to have an acidic carbon. The rain physically erodes the rock with the acid chemically breaking down the rocks and

Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other air pollution collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Currently, the state of Texas ranks number one in the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the air, toxic chemicals released into the water, and the amount of hazardous waste generated. As a result, the number one issue in Texas today, is the amount the state as a whole is contributing to the worsening of global warming/pollution
