    was changing. The first powered gasoline car (Benz Patent-Motorwagen) was made in 1807 and made by Karl Benz. Gasoline is made from fossil fuels, which is released into the atmosphere. When gasoline is burnt it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). The burning of coal releases carbon dioxide into the air. Coal is used to produce electricity and heat. Joseph Fourier found that earth temperature approximately 15 Celsius, the incoming energy and out-coming energy keeps the temperature constant. As a…

    regulation on the carbon emission in such on how dangerous it effects the climate and the earth. If we can’t reduce or begin regulating the CO2 we will cause irreversible change to the earth climate. With the ever increasing rise of carbon dioxide we will lead changes of the ocean PH and temperature increase globally the EPA should begin to regulate on how much energy and oil companies emit co2. Without regulation on carbon dioxide this extra carbon that we put out disrupts the carbon cycle.…

    and Cellular Respiration gives carbon dioxide and water to Photosynthesis. The making of food using the sun's energy is called Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in the organism called Chloroplast. There is a green pigment inside the Chloroplast called Chlorophyll which absorbs light from the sun. Then the Chlorophyll uses the energy to make food. The Main Ingredients or reactants of Photosynthesis are Carbon Dioxide and Water. As we breathe out Carbon Dioxide, it goes through the underside…

    of carbon by vehicles, factories, etc. Another interesting trend of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the varying CO2 levels during the different seasons of the year. This observation is attributed to the growing and dying of plants during certain seasons in which changes to the uptake (sinking of CO2 levels) and output (elevation of CO2 levels) of carbon dioxide by plants occurs. The uptake and output of CO2 by plants is known as the process of photosynthesis (RealClimate, 2004). Historic carbon…

    When carbon dioxide is dissolved in blood, it forms carbonic acid, bicarbonate ions, and carbon dioxide. All three exist in equilibrium. As levels of carbon dioxide increase, the equilibrium of the carbonate buffer shifts making more carbonic acid. Hydrogen ions increase thus shifting the equilibrium left, and therefore bicarbonate accepts…

    warming should mean to them. The definition by the Oxford Dictionary declares that global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants (Oxford Dictionary). There are scientific facts that prove that the earth’s temperature…

    amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide traps sunlight in the atmosphere which makes the earth warmer. The excess amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is a serious issue that causes global warming. Three solutions have been brought up to solve this problem and they include, decreasing human dependence of fossil fuels, using more renewable resources, and utilizing the process of carbon sequestration. II.…

    not release carbon dioxide. Other ways to conserve energy is to turn off and unplug electronic devices while not in use (232b). Moves are being made to slow down carbon emissions. “The Kyoto Protocol requires developed countries to restrict emissions of carbon dioxide by 95% every year” (232c). Once the countries restrict the carbon emissions this will reduce the greenhouse gases. A few plans are already in place to decrease carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One way would be a Carbon Tax, which…

    absolutely detrimental to the surrounding ecosystem and even ecosystems hundreds of miles away. Implementation of wind energy as the major player of the energy sector will cut carbon emissions drastically and greatly improve the quality of our atmosphere. And without this much needed action emission levels, specifically carbon dioxide, will rise too high and our own atmosphere will become toxic. For…

    variety A 22 C (2.4-0)/ (60-0) = .04 test variety A 8 C (.45-0)/ (60-0) = .0075 b. Metabolism is the breakdown of foods to provide energy for the body. Breaking down the foods use cellular respiration which requires glucose and oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. The faster the metabolism, the more cellular respiration will occur which causes an increase in oxygen to be consumed. The effect of temperature will cause an increase on metabolic rate till a certain point where then the cell will…
