equivalent computer platform powered by the current generation of AMD processors (CPUs and GPUs). By conducting a business to consumer (B2C) lifecycle assessment, this study compares the total lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (also known as a “carbon footprint”) of an APU system (based on the 18W dual-core processor codenamed “Zacate” and the M1 chipset codenamed “Hudson”) with the latest AMD system codenamed “Nile” (which is based on an AMD Athlon™ Neo II Dual Core processor, SB820 Southbridge

second-order consumer. In the diagram of the food chain, the arrows show how energy flows from one level to another. The green plants are the producers because they food are produced by the process of photosynthesis by using sunlight, water and carbon of the food chain. The second order consumers are carnivores because the herbivores are their food. Therefore, carnivores are in the second-order consumer because they depend on the first-order consumer to produce energy. * Review Figure

energy for all living things. This ia a continuos cycle. Photosynthesis captures energy for life on Earth. It is the process used by plants in which energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into molecules for growth. In this process Light energy is used to convert Carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. Thus, solar energy is converted into chemical energy. This reaction is summarized as follows: Carbon dioxide + water ------------> glucose + oxygen

to eating much healthier food. Once in a while, I still eat meat. * Review Figures 4-13 and 4-14 in Ch. 4 of Environmental Science. Summarize the steps of the carbon cycle. How is carbon cycled back and forth between the atmosphere, and plants and animals? Why should people care about the carbon cycle? * The carbon cycle goes through a two-step process involving photosynthesis and respiration. Green plants undergo both photosynthesis and
