Cellular respiration equation:

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+38ATP. Glucose+Oxygen→Carbon dioxide+Water+38ATP.

Photosynthesis equation:

6CO2+6H2O+sunlight, nutrients→C6H12O6+6O2. Carbon dioxide+Water→Glucose+Oxygen. Respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes. It means that products of cellular respiration are reactants of photosynthesis and vice versa: the products of photosynthesis are reactants for cellular respiration. It is known that plants are autotrophs. Thus, they have to realize cellular respiration because they need energy for their existence. Due to cellular respiration, they receive energy, which is used to make organic compounds (glucose) and oxygen during photosynthesis. From the other side, people are heterotrophs. They ...

The play Fences by August Wilson is set in the American urban setting in 1957. After the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction, it is clear that the White Americans and the Black Americans had been segregated in almost all areas of life (Tribute To August Wilson 1). These arenas included buses, schools, and even in sport, for instance, baseball. The play gives a practical example of a great player whose dream is crushed along racial lines, despite being good in the game of baseball. Troy Maxson, who is the protagonist in the play, defines his life ...

Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism Vegetarianism or veganism as some may call it means much more than just a paradigm shift to veggies and other non-animal foods. There is a general belief that veganism is just a dietary choice. However, reality implies a different idea contrary to the general understanding. Veganism is all-encompassing, and literary affects all life aspects that involve animal products,. To some vegetarians, it means to shift from using all animal products. To some, it implies to end all the animal exploitation. More importantly, to most it means running away from the toxicity associated with animal products and live a ...

Introduction

Enzyme refers to a molecule that is protein in nature and functions as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a given reaction. The understanding of the basic theory of enzyme kinetic is an essential in the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the activity of an enzyme, as well as in selecting the best method of analyzing the enzyme. There are several factors that have an effect on the rate of an enzymatic reaction. These factors include temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, as well as the concentration of the substrate (Worthington Biochemical Corporation, 2013).

The increase or decrease of the level ...

Financial planning is the process and various steps that lead to the proper management of available income and better management of expenditure. Managing personal and family finances demands thorough estimation of the incoming revenue and outgoing expenses on a daily basis. Efficient management of family or personal finances demands budgeting of total monthly expenditure and income. This enables one to determine his/ her spending and saving. Many couples live long without taking a view of their finances. This is the beginning of future money problems that strain the marriage and possibly turn catastrophic if one spouse dies or is incapacitated.

Introduction

Irritant contact dermatitis results from the exposure of the skin to irritants. The function of the skin is to protect an individual from dehydration, irradiation, mechanical trauma and direct exposure to harmful sensitizing irritant chemicals (Johansen, Frosch and Lepoittevin, 2010). Perturbation of the skin barrier may lead to development of irritant contact dermatitis. Jack’s line of work, which deals with using abrasive solvents and chemical are a cause of the irritation he is experiencing. A small perturbation of the skin might have resulted to an entry of an irritant, which further impaired the skin causing an increase in irritation ...

The main aim of this study is to conduct a research about the artificial methods of storing water in California while considering all the financial characteristics. This research will include two artificial (Manmade) methods of storing water in the state of California which will include; surface water such as Cisterns, Dams and aqueduct. Underground water will include pipelines, aquifers, canals and reservoirs.

Introduction

California’s water management system is arguably among the most innovative and complex artificial methods of storing water in the world. In California, colossal amounts of water are confined, stored, and then delivered through manmade features to serve ...

The process of weathering deals with the breaking down of minerals, soils and rocks as well as synthetic materials as a result of contact with the atmosphere, biological entities and water. Weathering is slightly different from erosion, because it does not involve movement. Erosion involves the movement of water, wind, snow or other agents across minerals or rocks. Weathering simply takes place “in situ.” There are two significant types of weathering, chemical and physical. Each can involve a biological component, but the difference is that physical weathering has to do with soils and rocks breaking down as a result of directly contacting ...

Looking at the history of art, one name stands out. This is Pablo Picasso. He was born on 25th of the month of October 1881 in Malaga Spain. Jose’ Ruiz Blasco, his father who was also a painter, trained him at an early age; hence he was able to start his career at a tender age. Though he attended several art schools while growing, Picasso never completed any college level course; instead he left the Academic Academy of arts within one year. One of the reasons why he dropped out of school was due to the teachers’ inability to assist him ...

Introduction

The activities that take place in a living organism are mainly controlled through the use of enzymes. Enzyme refers to a molecule that is protein in nature and functions as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a given reaction. An enzyme as a protein molecule has three main characteristics. First, an enzyme has its basic function is as to increase the reaction rate and this makes most of the cellular reactions occur more than million times that they would have if the enzyme was absent. Second, almost all enzymes act in a specific manner with only one substrate in order to produce the ...

Jewelry and treasures are some of the aspects in our modern day world that many people have focused on, as a source of income, as well as a way of storing their treasures. This is because, amongst a few other assets such as land, treasures are among the very few assets in the world whose value keeps in increasing and growing, with the progression of time. Among some of these treasures, include the pearls, which is one of the treasures that have been very vocal in the United Arab Emirates’ economic industry. This is because, apart from oil, pearls are the only ...

Introduction Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a management technique which aims at protecting the safety, health and welfare of the working class people. The first session of the ILO (Indian Labour Organization) and the WHO (World Health Organization) held in the year 1990, laid the outlines for OSH management stating that it aims at promoting and maintaining the highest degree of social, mental and physical well-being of the employees in all occupations. It also aims at the prevention of employees leaving their workplace due to health concerns. The main aim of the OSH is the smoothening of the ...

The Hydrologic Cycle

The global hydrologic cycle involves the change of water between three states. Water can be gaseous, like humidity in the atmosphere and the condensation in clouds, liquid as in our lakes, rivers, and oceans, or solid as in our ice caps and glaciers. Water is very complex and energy is required for it to change between the different states. Without water, biologic life could not exist. Evaporation and transpiration return water from the liquid state into the gaseous state. It takes a lot of energy to effect this change in state. Approximately 600 calories per gram of water is ...

Introduction

Biomass is a biological material obtained from a living organism or a recently living organism. The word biomass is derived from two Greek words; bio meaning life, and maza meaning mass (Demirbas, “Fuels from Biomass” 43). Biomass means non-fossil and bio-decomposable organic matter (originating from plants, animals and microorganisms). The products, byproducts, residues and waste from agricultural processing, all constitute biomass. Bio-waste simply means non-fossil and biodegradable waste that is composed of organic matter. Bio-wastes include food and kitchen wastes, garden and park wastes, and wastes from food processing plants. Bio-waste is therefore an element of biomass. Non-fossil wastes that are ...

Introduction

Waste biomass is usually in the form of manure, agricultural residues, municipal sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and industrial bio-sludge which can be converted to animal feeds, alcohol fuels or industrial chemicals. There are various processes which are employed to convert this waste into the respective useful end products rather than being dumped away. The complexity of these processes depends on the kind of technologies being used. Conversions of waste biomass into renewable energy forms play a major role in reducing the dependence on crude oil and thus promote economic growth. The process of waste biomass conversion to useful products ...

How EMS and medicine community instruction on CPR can improve survival rates

Cardiac arrest refers to the abrupt cessation of cardiac pumping activity which is confirmed by the absence of one, a detectable pulse, two, signs of circulation, three, breathing and finally the lack of a response to stimulation. The immediate management for cardiac arrest entails chest compressions performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation that is delivery of shocks via a defibrillator to stop the ventricular fibrillation that prompted the cardiac arrest. CPR is an essential emergency measure which consists of a series of measures for delivering oxygenated blood to vital organs like the heart and the brain through artificial respiration and manual cardiac ...

Enzymes are sometimes referred to as biochemistry workhorses because they are utilized by many scientists to speed up a number of chemical reactions. Enzymes are proteins that speed up, or in other words catalyze, specific biological and chemical reactions by increasing the rates of reaction by more than a million factors. An example of these enzymes is Pectinase, which is the enzyme that catalyzes pectin breakdown. Pectin is a part of the cell wall of fruits like tomatoes, mangoes, oranges and apples. Pectins are large colloidal molecules and they are responsible for holding or determining the amount of dispersed particles in extracted ...

Using a context familiar to you, such as Hong Kong, please describe the concept of empowerment by listing the challenges and feasible solutions to achieve gender educational equality in education enrolment, completion, and educational outcomes (contribution to women's socioeconomic status).

The gender inequality of education in Hong Kong has a huge effect on the socioeconomic status of women after leaving school. A US survey shows that 80% of female workers in Hong Kong believe that they are discriminated against because of their gender and it still generally accepted that sons are prioritised over daughters in terms of finance and inheritance. Whilst ...
