What exactly do we mean by sugar? Most people
would answer by describing the white granulated
sugar found on the meal table. That is however
only part of the answer. Table sugar is sucrose
and is only one of a number of different sugars
all of which belong to the carbohydrate group of
basic energy foods. Sugars are a major form of
carbohydrate and are found in probably all green
plants. They occur in significant amounts in most
fruits and vegetables. There are three main simple
sugars - sucrose,...

... would dissolve the polymers in the fuel of
current automobile engines, but there is a way
around this problem by hydrogenating the ketones
to their corresponding alcohols. This hydrogen
could be generated from natural gas or other
renewable resources. Another significant advantage
of fuels derived from waste biomass is that they
are a way to control global warming caused by the
combustion of fossil fuels. The carbon dioxide
released from the combustion of biomass is
balanced through photosyn...

The damaging effects of acid rain on society is
becoming overwhelmed with great amounts of
pollution from cars, factories and an large
amounts of garbage. The immense amounts of sulphur
dioxide put into the air causes high levels of

is hurting lakes, air and thew rest of our
ecosystem. Acid rain is killin...

O n April 26, 1986, a hellish white glow bejeweled
a small, little-known town in central Ukraine, now
notoriously recognized by the international
community as Chernobyl. During the early morning
hours of the twenty-sixth, operators had been
running an ill-conceived experiment on reactor

combustion. I will be trying to find out how the
number of Carbon atoms the alcohol contains
effects the enthalpy change that occurs during
combustion. The Alcohols are a series of related
organic molecules where each member has the -OH
(hydroxyl) group in the molecule. The general

Coal Mines Carbon Dioxide

Methane 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 ...

The disappearance Deforestation 2 Deforestation
The disappearance of trees, unquestioningly
accepted as an indication of environmental
degradation, evoked reactions ranging from
disheartening feelings of powerlessness to various
forms of cynicism (Kuchli, 1997 Page 8). Not only
do forests support plants and animals; but they
also have local and even global impact on
ecosystem sustainability. It will be the object of
this essay to analyze, based on a global scale,
the patterns of deforestation. A...

Central Nervous System Withdrawal Symptoms

GHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, is a nutrient that
is part of the metabolism process in mammalians.
It can be found in every cell of the human body.
The greatest quantities can be found in the
kidney, heart, skeletal muscles, and brown fat
tissues (Chin and Kreutzer, 1992). Chin and
Kreutzer also believe it to be a neurotransmitter,
however that has not yet been proven. GHB is known
to be a metabolite and also a precursor of the
inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA
(gamma-aminobutyric acid). GHB and...

during the past decade. Global Warming-the
increase in greenhouse gasses- has captured broad
public attention because it would easily damage
the nature and many souci-cultural aspects of
life. Thats why it should be investigated
thoroughly. In the following paragraphs, I will
