Rate Of Reaction Bunsen Burner
1,230 words
Investigate A Factor Which Affects the Rate Of
Fermentation Of Yeast This experiment is
investigating one of the factors which affects the
rate of fermentation of yeast. Several factors
affect the rate of reaction: 61656; Increasing
the concentration. (See the lock and key theory. )
If the substrate (glucose) is increased, then
there would be more keys for the locks, therefore
an increase in reactant concentration leads to an
increase in reaction rate. 61656; The surface
area, the bigger t...

When dealing with the world's present sources of
energy, the two most popular forms are nuclear and
energy by fossil fuels. How long will these
supplies last? Are they the most effective? Is it
harmful to the environment? All of these questions
must be addressed. Below is a description of how
these sources produce energy. What exactly is
nuclear energy? We talk about it all the time, but
what is it? Nuclear energy is energy that is
obtained by splitting the nuclei of atoms. The

Human beings are able to adapt to almost any
environment, unfortunately sometimes we take
advantage of our natural surroundings. We find
ourselves amidst a struggle between our lifestyles
and nature. Although we affect nature profoundly
with our activities, we in turn are shaped by
nature's potent forces. Nature can be brutal to
humans, but we must remember that it merely is
following its course. As a result, we must learn
to coexist with it. Fire is a naturally occurring
phenomenon which humans...

Climatic Change on the Earths Temperature The
issue on global warming or the increase in the
temperature of the Earths surface including both
the air and the waters has been an issue for the
humankind as far back as the late fourteenth
century. In fact, people started to notice the
climate change when several areas in the northern
hemisphere most notably in Europe experienced
extreme cold and harsh weather conditions that
triggered several famines during that time; not to

Current Efforts to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emission
/ Global Warming Global warming is the issue of
the day. According to the foreign researchers, the
emissions by industrialized countries of the
greenhouse gas related to the global warming shows
a dangerous upward trend despite the efforts to
reduce emission and to control global warming.
According to the report, despite the overall level
of emissions reduced 3. 3 % during 1990 - 2004,
this reduction mostly occurred due to the 36. 8 %

Mars and Pluto Cannot Support Life: Why?
Throughout the history of the Earth, people have
wondered if there is life anywhere else in the
universe. For centuries, they believed that the
world was flat and that the sun went around the
Earth. People did not know enough about the
universe to Even nowadays, there are people who
believe in aliens. But science has shown us why
there is no other planet, at least no such planet
that we know about, that is capable of supporting
life. If we take our own so...

Global Warming Global Warming, aside from
pollution is one of scientists biggest concerns.
Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse effect.
There are 4 steps in the Greenhouse effect. 1
-Sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to
earth? s atmosphere. 2 - the sunlight enters the
atmosphere and hits Earth. Some of it turns into
heat energy in the form of infrared light. The
heat gets absorbed by surrounding air and land,
which in turn makes it warm. 3 - Infrared rays,
which are remitted i...

Global Global Warming Introduction: Global warming
is a term that describes the green house
effect-that is rise in temperature of the earth.
The earths climate is predicted to change because
activities are altering the chemical composition
of through the building up of green house
gases-primarily CO 2, CH 3, N 2 O and
chlorofluorocarbon. These green house gases trap
energy from the sun and heat would not escape back
in to space. Thus, they warm our world. But
problem is arising because the atmos...

Greenhouse Gases Infrared Radiation
431 words
Greenhouse Effect Greenhouse Effect, term for the
role the atmosphere plays in insulating and
warming the earths surface. The atmosphere is
pretty much transparent to incoming solar
radiation. When this radiation strikes the earths
surface, some of it is absorbed, warming the
earths surface. Earth s surface emits some of this
energy back out in the form of infrared radiation.
As this infrared radiation travels through the
atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by atmospheric
gases like carbon dioxid...

Protein Synthesis The Expression of a Gene The
process of Protein Synthesis involves many parts
of the cell. Unlike other similar productions,
this process is very complex and precise and
therefore must be done in proper sequence to work
effectively. The slightest error during this
process could cause the action to experience
difficulty or even fail. For example, in the
production of starch, glucose molecules are
combined to be stored and eventually utilized as
usable chemical energy. The cell c...
