The Poisoning of Our Ozone Layer The poisoning of the Earth\'s ozone layer is increasingly attracting worldwide concern for the global environment and the health effects of life on the Planet Earth. There is not just one particular cause for the ozone\'s depletion; the accumulation of di...

Many in the world of science do not succeed as prominent individual considering it is a tough field not only to achieve in but to maintain an identity. Mario J. Molina was someone that prospered as a minority and Nobel Laureate in this particular field. Mario was a Mexican American chemist, born...

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was born on Aug. 26, 1743. He grew up the oldest child in his family in Paris, France, and a product of the bourgeoisie lifestyle. His father was a well-off attorney who followed the family tradition of practicing law. Antoine's mother died when he was just a boy, bu...

We hear about acid rain all the time in the news, and it is essential to the earth\'s ecosystem. In simple terms, acid rain is rain that is more acidic than normal. All objects in nature have a certain acidity level, but acid rain has too much acid in it. Acid rain is a complicated problem caused by...

In this paper, evidence will show how ozone layer depletion is a problem. Harmful chemicals, produced by man, and nature, effect the ozone layer, a part of the earth\'s atmosphere. The earth has environmental problems, and ozone layer depletion is just one of them. The ozone layer is a layer of ir...

Not all animals have lungs. Many animals live in environments where lungs would be efficient enough for survival. Gills are another type of respiratory system, which are very efficient at removing oxygen from water: there is only 1/20 the amount of oxygen present in water as in the same volume of ...

Abstract This experiment gives an insightful look into the effects temperature, and light intensity has on the rate of photosynthesis of a C3 plant. An experiment carried out to measure this proved wrong the general scientific believe that rate of photosynthesis of C3 plants is faster when closer to...

Water pollution has been a problem for a very long time. There are many different kinds of water pollution. Water pollution causes many problems with the living plants and animals in the water.Water has always been used to carry away unwanted trash. Since the beginning of civilization people have us...

Air pollution affects everyone\'s daily life and acid rain one of the many forms of air pollution especially. I chose this subject because people need to understand the detrimental ramifications of acid rain. My admiration of the fashion industry have encouraged me to acquire my fine and elaborate w...

IntroductionIn the pond water lab experiment, our group has chosen to test the effects of nitrates on a pond community. After a lot of research, we have found that nitrates in a pond community can increase growth rates of plants and some animals. The effects of nitrates include algal blooms, which i...

LipidsThe subject I will cover is lipids. I will tell you about the description of it's organic compound. I will tell you where it is found. I will tell you what the uses are in plants and animals. I will also tell you about it's chemical structure and give examples of types of these compounds, such...

A Review of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants Introduction Oxidants such as super oxide, a free radical form of oxygen gas, hydrogen peroxide, and free radical hydroxide are molecules that can commence chain reactions in a cell and cause damage along the way. A free radical is any molecule with...

Ozone Ozone is an important molecule in maintaining the homeostasis in the environment. Ozone, the molecule O3, makes a layer in the stratosphere, situated 10 to 15 kilometers from the earth's surface. The dioxide molecule, O2 and Oxygen atom O, collide with each other result in the formation...

In this paper I will describe the molecular structure and the chemical properties of water. Also I will discuss the importance of water to living organisms and the effects of acid rain on our environment. Water, as a molecule is a bent molecule and this characteristic makes it a very polar. W...

Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (lah vwah ZYAY) was one of the best-known French scientists and was an important government official. His theories of combustion, his development of a way to classify the elements and the first modern textbook of chemistry led to his being known...

Minerals have many different shapes, colors, and they also have many uses. Crystals, metals, and rocks are also minerals just a different kind. Minerals are all over this planet and even in outer space. Living creatures have used minerals in their systems to help their growth. A mineral can also be...

QUESTION 1: Technology owes Ecology an Apology. Indeed, in my opinion, technology does owe ecology an apology. This is because ecological imbalances were as a result of the Industrial revolution, which could be said to be the beginning of the non-ending technological advancement cycle. D...

For hundreds, even thousands of years, human beings have mined for metals and stones, and with the advent of greater technology as well as greater needs, the demands for these resources continue to grow. While these resources benefit our lives in many ways, the effects of mining can be detrimental, ...

EssayEnhanced Greenhouse Effect Vs.Ozone DepletionThe Greenhouse Effect and Ozone Depletion are rapidly growing threats to the Earth. The Greenhouse Effect is when carbon dioxide levels rise causing more heat to be let in throwing off the ecosystem, and Ozone Depletion happens when chemicals in th...

Society has been widely addressed with the many problems that we arehaving in our environment today. A major problem is that of CFCs. CFCstands for Chlorofluorocarbons which are found in many of the aerosol spraycans. In December of 1973, Rowland and Molina discovered that CFCs candestroy the ozo...

When the thought of acid rain arises, a thought of burning acid falling from the sky destroying everything in sight may come to mind; and as absurd as this sounds it is not that far from the truth. Acid rain is a form of air pollution. It is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with a...

National Geographic "Antarctica: Life at the Bottom of the World" p2 - 36Scientists has spent all or part of the current summer in the Taylor Valley. The study of algae and glaciers. They are tracing how the creatures that live in this environment adapt to each other and to the Antarctic's extre...

Acid Rain 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 acid in the atmosphere. When this sulphuric acid is...

INTRODUCTIONImagine one day having to walk outside wearing a mask; or not being able to open the windows of your house on a cool spring day. Or even worst, imagine looking out of you window and not seeing any form of life. All the vegetation has died off due to acid rain and severe damage from sul...

Our Radiant Planet- Depletion of the Ozone Layer Ozone is a relatively unstable form of molecular oxygen containing three oxygen atoms produced when upper-atmosphere oxygen molecules are split by ultra violet light. Stratospheric ozone is found in a broad band, extending generally from 15 to 35km ab...
