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...

Natural Gas Diesel Fuel
733 wordsWe have known for a long time that eventually our oil deposits will dry up, and it would be helpful at that time if we had some kind of alternative fuel to power all of the machines that we use. Over the past two decades more oil has been pumped than has been found in the world. For this reason scientists have been looking to potential alternative fuels for the future. One of these alternative fuels may come in the form of natural gas. Natural gas has been found to be more plentiful than oil, an...

Million Years Ago Gulf Of Mexico
1,898 wordsIntroduction What is the oceans role in climate? The oceans play a vital and pivotal role in the distribution of life sustaining water throughout our planet. 86 % of the evaporation that occurs on earth is over the oceans. The oceans are the planets largest reservoir of water transferring huge amounts of water around the hydrological cycle. In fact the oceans dominate the hydrological cycle, for they contain 97 % of the global water inventory. The hydrological cycle can be disrupted by changes i...

Rapid Expansion Blue Green
1,211 wordsUp until 1947, it was believed that the Cambrian Explosion marked the first true abundance of multicellular life. However, this was discovered to be untrue after Sir Douglas Mawson and R. C. Spring mistakenly came across numerous "fossil jellyfish" in the Ediacaran Hills while observing what was originally believed to be sandstones belonging to the lowest strata of the Cambrian. At first, these finding were dismissed as "fortuitous inorganic markings. " (AAS Biographical Memoirs. ) Several years...

Hydrogen And Oxygen Combustion Engines
1,015 wordsHard to believe that the simplest atom in the universe is used in the making of the most destructive weapon known to man isnt it? Well so is the fact that it will soon (we hope) become the replacement for petroleum-based fuels, and just about every other form of fuel too. One electron orbiting one proton is all that hydrogen is, and it is mankind's future. It is easy to manufacture, (although the government says otherwise, ) safe and easy to store, and has only one by-product water. The way that...

H 2 O 2 O 2
828 wordsPurpose - The purpose of this lab is to use a chemical titration to measure and them calculate the rate of conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) to water and oxygen gas using the enzyme catalase. Hypothesis - The rate of enzymatically-catalyzed reactions can be determined by taking time reactions at different time intervals. When the rates are plotted on a graph, the rate of the reaction is the slope of the linear portion of the curve. To determine a rate, any two points on the straight-line...

Sickle Cell Disease Red Blood Cells
1,334 wordsdisorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell have red blood cells that have mostly hemoglobin's, Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped or crescent shaped and have trouble going through small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can get to that part of the body. Tissue that does not get a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the problems of sickle cell disease. As to this day there is really no ...

Air Pressure Internal Pressure
505 wordsIt s Not Suction Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to show the effects that air pressure has on a liquid and the necessity of oxygen for combustion. Background: When a substance burns it is known as combustion. For combustion to occur oxygen must be present. Once a flame has used all of its oxygen supply it will die, this marks the end of combustion. Combustion stops occurring when the flame supplying the energy to a system goes out or the substance is completely used up. In a closed sy...

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
1,519 wordsIn environmental science the green house effect is a common term for the role water vapor; carbon dioxide and ozone play in keeping the earths surface warmer than it would normally be. The atmosphere is primarily transparent to infrared radiation from the sun, which is mostly absorbed by the earths surface. The earth being much cooler than the sun, remits radiation most strongly at infrared wavelengths. Water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone then absorb much of this radiation and remit a large pr...
