Connective Tissue Lactic Acid
1,736 wordsThe immediate source of energy for muscular contraction is the high-energy phosphate compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Although ATP is not the only energy-carrying molecule in the cell, it is the most important one, and without sufficient amounts of ATP most cells die quickly. The three main parts of an ATP molecule are: an adenine portion, a ribose portion, and three phosphates linked together. The formation of ATP occurs by combining adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosph...

2 H 2 O Creatine Phosphate
1,714 wordsWith the aid of diagrams provide a summary of how the following energy systems work. Energy systems; introduction Energy systems are cellular levels processes used to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) figure 1. This is an adenosine molecule linked to three high-energy phosphates that acts as an energy store for the cell. The energy is released when ATPase, an enzyme, reacts with ATP to produce ADP and Pi, e. g. ATP ADP + Pi There are three energy systems that do this; The Creatine Phosphate S...

Earth Atmosphere Years Ago
1,031 wordsH. G. Wells wrote in his book, "War of the Worlds", about Martian invasion toward earth.

Unrecycled Sludge Cake Activated Sludge Water
525 wordsWhere does the wastewater go? When water goes down your sink or toilet, it travels through small pipes to much larger trunk sewers. The sewer systems are built to the slope of the ground around the Elbow and Bow Rivers. This slope allows most of the waste to go down by gravity, rather than expensive pumps, to one of four plants. To handle low areas, which do not have enough slope, pumping stations have been made. How is wastewater treated? Wastewater treatment in Calgary involves the following p...

Clean Air Act Environmental Protection Agency
1,282 words1990, the federal Clean Air Act was passed to improve air quality in the United States. President Bush's proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act initially would have led to the introduction of alternative, non-petroleum fuels. The petroleum and oxygenate industries responded by offering a reformulated gasoline program as a substitute for most of the alternate fuel proposals. As a result, the amendments to the federal Clean Air Act adopted in 1990 required steps to achieve lower vehicle emission...

Coal Mines Carbon Dioxide
792 wordsMethane by Pamela The molecule, methane, is made up of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms making the compound CH 4. It is the second most important greenhouse gas. One molecule of methane is twenty times more efficient at absorbing infrared radiation than a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO 2). The amount of methane is increasing about 1 % a year, faster than any other greenhouse gas. Recently, the concentration is 1. 7 parts per million (ppm), which is nearly twice of what it was a few hundred of ...

Earths Magnetic Magnetic Field
1,384 wordsINTRODUCTION: The magnetic south and north poles of the earth create magnetic field lines in which these bacteria travel. These bacteria were found to contain iron, which is comparable to ferromagnet's or magnetite produced synthetically. This iron is found to line up to the magnetic field lines similar to how a compass works. Many of the principles of magnetism can be explained by observing these bacteria. NARRATIVE: The physical principles behind magnetic bacteria rely on the earths magnetic f...
