state, the heme group takes on a planar shape (Hudon-Miller, 2012b). A2) The relationship between pH and the ability of hemoglobin to bind and release oxygen is referred to as the Bohr Effect. The blood’s pH level is greatly influenced by the carbon dioxide that is produced by most of the body’s cells…

amount of water being used. Another alternative could be using Liquefied petroleum gases such as propane, butane or pentane as a substitute for water also converting fossil fuels to a non carbon forms of energy by means of wind and solar can be taken into account . All these methods can reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide emission and can save water as well as energy for the future…

climate change isn’t occurring. In order to make this assumption you need to look at all the evidence that supports climate change and the evidence that does not. There are many long-term effects that are going to occur due to climate change. If the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas levels continue to increase in concentration at the rate they are at the moment, it is going to continue to cause an increase in temperature which is also going to lead to an increase in ocean temperatures…

Joshua Koa 19 October 2014 Informative Speech Outline : Climate Change I. Introduction A) Attention Getter: According to a report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, our Earth’s average temperature has increased significantly by 1.4 degrees fahrenheit over the century and is projected to increase up to another 2 - 11.5 degrees fahrenheit in the upcoming decades. The changes in our climate may seem minimal now but as we progress further into the future, those small changes…

The aquatic animal known as the crawfish has become well-known in the scientific community due to its common use in a lab or the natural field. While some of its species are known for their invasiveness and “affect [on the] fundamental aspects of aquatic systems like water quality” (Pearl), the crawfish has provided insight into various fields of science because of its ability to be easily manipulated. This small animal has been utilized by many researchers studying the origins of the animal’s…

Climate change is affecting the world in different forms and increments. In the last century various parts of globe have seen the impacts of global warming, green gas emissions, and flooding. These natural disasters cause massive amounts of damage economically, politically and socially leading to competition for limited resources, upheaval and chaos on both the local and national spectrums. However, many are quick to dismiss the impact of climate change when its horrific effects do not hit…

life was changing. The first powered gasoline car (Benz Patent-Motorwagen) was made in 1807 and made by Karl Benz. Gasoline is made from fossil fuels, which is released into the atmosphere. When gasoline is burnt it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). The burning of coal releases carbon dioxide into the air. Coal is used to produce electricity and heat. Joseph Fourier found that earth temperature approximately 15 Celsius, the incoming energy and out-coming energy keeps the temperature constant. As a…

Are future carbon dioxide levels going to affect the ocean’s fish population? The future effects of carbon dioxide and climate change cannot be certain, however, Rachel Sullivan argues otherwise. In a recent ABC Science article (2016) the author, Rachel Sullivan, references a study in the journal Biology Letters (Connel, Gillanders, Nagelkerken, Russel, 2015), to draw a conclusion that ocean acidification will negatively affect the soundscape that fish larvae rely on to navigate through the…

Background Lomborg stated that greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere cause global warming. However while global warming is a problem, Lomborg believes that its total impact will not have a devastating effect on humanity’s future. Lomborg’s claim is an important topic as it relates to global warming and the ecosystems affected by the extra heat. This heat is caused when the greenhouse gases that are emitted by various sources linger in the atmosphere. While these gases…

biospheric processes and the home to many known and unknown organisms. The first few meters of the ocean are an important site for primary production — the conversion of carbon dioxide from a gas into organic carbon. Carbon dioxide plays an important role in determining the pH of ocean water. Over the last hundred years the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased, leading to changes in the chemistry of the ocean. As time progresses it is becoming more acidic. National…
