Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
1,080 words
While some people believe the earth's climatic
changes are due to the fact that the universe is
getting older, others believe it is due to the
greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a
naturally occuring phenomenon that is responsible
for trapping heat near the earth's surface and
keeping the planet warm. It is called the
greenhouse effect because the way it works is
similar to the way in which a green house
functions. In a greenhouse sunlight passes through
the transparent roof and walls an...

H 2 O Rate Of Reaction

Title: The Effects of Substrate Concentration and
Temperature on the Rate of Hydrolysis of the
Enzyme Trypsin. Abstract: Quantitative
measurements can relate both temperature and
substrate concentration to the enzymatic activity
of trypsin. By analyzing the data, it is suggested
that at BAPNA concentrations below those
corresponding to Vmax are rate limiting, as less
active sights are available for adhesion. The
values of Vmax and Km relate a temperate catalytic
efficiency of trypsin. The temper...

Greenhouse Gases Global Warming
1,471 words
Global warming is not a myth it is a fact. It has
been proven that the temp has gone up in the last
2 decades. Yes, it is possible to stop it and even
fix it. At the rate we are going it will be the
same as it was in 1980 by 2050. Yes I think that
global warming is a fact to be reckoned with. But
I agree with both sides because both are right
each in their own way. It is proven that the earth
has been cooling down over the last 6, 000 years
since the Holocene Maximum. That is a fact! But
there a...

Amazon Rainforest Amazon River

The Amazon River is the second longest river in
world. The headwaters begin high in the soaring
Andes Mountains and stretches 6, 400 km across the
South American continent to the Atlantic Ocean. It
discharges between 34 to 121 million liters of
water per second, and depositing an average of 3
million tons of sediments near its mouth. The
outpouring of water and residue is so vast that
the salt content and the color of the Atlantic
Ocean are altered for a distance of about 320 km
from the mouth o...

New York City, New Orleans, Seattle, and Miami all
experience major flooding from the ocean level
having risen so high. Thousands and thousands of
people perish each summer across the USA alone

Alternative Fuel Vehicles You Can Buy Today From
the earliest days of the automotive industry
alternative fuels have always competed with
petroleum for powering vehicles. Nicholas Cugnot
made the first self-powered road vehicle in 1769
with a steam engine, and the first gasoline
automobile didn't appear until over 100 years
later from Karl Benz. Through the late 19 th and
early 20 th century steam and electric power
remained strong contenders. The invention of the
self-starter for gasoline engin...

Cryogenics is a largely growing field, relatively
innovative in the field of science and research.
It deals with freezing temperatures below 150
degrees Celsius (- 238 degrees Fahrenheit) using
oxygen, helium I, helium II (which are both are
chemically identical), and nitrogen. These are
cooled to the point of liquidation and used to
freeze diverse materials and substances. At these
extreme conditions, such properties of materials
as strength, thermal conductivity, ductility and
electrical resis...

some are of other religious denominations. The
life of the Indian people is usually ruled by
their caste system, but the system is not as firm
as it was years ago. India has a mixed economy.

Effects of Temperature, pH, and Gelatin on
Bromelain Introduction Bromelain is an organic
catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical
reactions. Bromelain is used in this experiment to
catalyze the break down of proteins and is called
a proteolytic enzyme. Enzymes enable reactions to
occur at a lower temperature and energy levels.
This allows many reactions to occur inside living
organisms that would otherwise have been
impossible to take place. This enzyme is found in
fruits, leaves, and stems...

Reptiles Enjoyed Warm Arctic (Global Warming) An
article written by ABC News writer Kenneth Chang
discusses the change in climate of the arctic from
ninety million years ago. Seven hundred miles from
the North Pole, lies an island called Axel
Heiberg, a barren land that scientists have dug up
fossil bones of a cold-blooded reptile known as a
champsosaur. How does this happen in an arctic,
freezing land? How does a reptile that needs the
warmth of the sun to survive, live in a frigid
climate? Wel...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases

Many people disagree on the issue concerning
global warming. Some believe that human
activities, various forms of polluting, are the
main cause of global warming. Others think that
not only have humans not affected the planet by
any significant amount, but that not much global
warming has even occurred. Many scientists think
that pollution is the cause of global warming and
the greenhouse effect. There is a lot of evidence
to support this theory. In the United States
alone, almost 15, 000 pounds...

which most people can comment. Fire is a
widespread phenomenon. Most of us have seen fires
in natural vegetation, or their effects; stark,
blackened vegetation or a smoke pall. Because
fires such as these can have damaging economic and
social effects, can spoil forestry timber, can
burn down houses and farms, and can kill people
and animals, there has been a lot written about
wildfires. Added to this wide perception of the
damage that can be caused ...

Liquid Nitrogen Degrees F

Since the beginning of time people have been
trying new ideas for keeping things like food
cold. Up until the early 20 th century ice was the
best method for cooling perishable items, button
we figured out a more efficient and affective way
of keeping items cold. It was called the
refrigerator. Soon after the introduction of the
refrigerator we developed something called
cryogenic freeing, which is freezing with very low
temperatures. Cryogenic freezing is the study

environmental scientists have become increasingly
confident that the average global temperature has

Hydroponics: Growing Without Soil The science of
growing plants without soil has been known and
used for more than one-hundred years. The word
hydroponics, however, is comparatively new. Dr. W.
E. Gericke is usually given credit for coining the
word, which translated from Greek, means working
water. The famous hanging gardens of Babylon were
probably on of the first attempts to grow plants
hydroponically. The work of Dr. Greece in the 1920

Source Of Energy Earths Surface
683 words
All life on Earth depends on energy from the sun.
Solar energy is the source of energy for
photosynthesis. It provides the warmth necessary
for plants and animals to survive. The heat from
the sun causes water on the Earths surface to
evaporate and form clouds that eventually provide
fresh rainwater. Solar energy is the result of
thermonuclear fusion reactions deep within the
sun. These reactions produce so much energy that
they keep the surface temperature of the sun at
about 10, 300 B 0 F. Eve...
