Oxygen saturation

Pollution, is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. There are many ways that pollution is contaminating the world including, Air Pollution, Soil Pollution, and Water Pollution. Within those three, there are many issues that are arising that need to have immediate action taking place. Water pollution is killing many animals, which is leading to endangered species. Soil contamination is damaging crops, which is causing soil erosion. Lastly, air…

Global warming or climate change is the gradual increase of Earth’s temperature over time, through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rising carbon level in the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the…

When you hear the word permanent, what do you think about? How about if you hear the two words permanent destruction, do you hear a ringing in your ears just from those two words? Do you ask yourself, what are the consequences from permanent destruction? Well, when I think of permanent destruction of forests, I come into realization all that’s at stake. According to Alina Bradford, a Live Science contributor, states “An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which…

The chances of earth’s environment declining will only increase if humanity continues its meat eating habits, due to the global effects that raising livestock cause to the climate. It has recently been made known to the public on a larger scale, that one of the greatest factors to the ozone layer being damaged is from raising livestock. It is up to us to fix this issue before it makes the world an unlivable place. We have to do this now instead of later. Recently, a group of environmentalists…

oven cleaner that contains Sodium Hydroxide. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is highly corrosive due to its elements; the presence of oxygen and an electrolyte (Sodium – Na) cause corrosion, the breakdown of a metal resulting from reactions with chemicals in its environment. The oxygen oxidizes with the metal, and the sodium help speed up the corrosion process. The presence of oxygen and electrolytes (Sodium – Na) in sample number 2 make it more…

Deforestation in the Amazon: Impact On Humans Trees are often looked upon as everyday objects that will be around forever. However, at the rate they are being cut down, that may not be the case. The process of clearing trees and transforming a forest into cleared land is called deforestation (Deforestation, n.d). This process is occurring all over the planet, specifically the Amazon Forest, leaving an immeasurably large impact not only on the Earth but human life as well. Trees make up the…

In 2009, the last climate change conference in Copenhagen, countries were not able to find a solution to climate change. Back then climate change was not addressed as seriously as it will be in the next climate change conference. Many countries have realized the potential consequences of climate change and have already began looking for solutions. However, to defeat climate change, it cannot be a few countries trying to look for solutions. It has the be a collective effort by each country in the…

Ever since the industrial revolution, the world has been involved in a constant struggle. This everlasting debate between economic growth and environmental protection has come to light once again with the expansion of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. While fracking was first used in the 1940s, it has not been widespread until recently when it was joined with horizontal drilling (Hoffman, n.d., para. 1). It is a process used to acquire natural gas previously inaccessible with more…

Carbon dioxide play important role and is one of the most efficient greenhouse gas in our atmosphere. Carbon footprint is really important and it help us to balance with The Nature Conservancy. This footprint can support the fund forest conservation, develop the forest organization or the reforestation assignments that give significant help to the atmosphere. In this assignment, it will support to decrease or slow the worst consequences of climate change, defend and restore wildlife habitat and…

Gram + Cocci To identify the Gram + cocci I first performed a catalyst test which produced oxygen bubbles and indicated a positive catalase result. The next test I preformed was a mannitol salt test using a mannitol-salt agar plate and the results showed positive fermentation turning the plate yellow and also positive growth. This led me to conclusion that my unknown Gram + cocci was Staphylococcus aureus. Gram – Rod To identify the unknown Gram – rod I first performed a H2S production test…
