Methane monooxygenase

Organic Chemistry Assignment By: Shirelle Cogan 1a) Organic compounds: C3H4, C8H10, CH3CH2CH2CH3, Benzene Inorganic compounds: H2CO2 (aq), CO2 Why? We know that organic compounds always contain carbon bonds with hydrogen, but not all molecules containing carbon are organic. They can be carbon hydrogen bonds, carbides and carbonates. b) C6H10= alkene, Name: 1,2-hexdiene C3H4= alkene, Name= 1,3-propdiene CH3CH2CH2CH3= alkane, Name= Butane Benzene= aromatic substance, Formula=

Abstract The following report outlines the impacts that motor vehicles have on the environment as well as detailed strategies aimed at minimizing these impacts. The conducted research found that the effects of motor vehicles cause significant harm to the environment in various ways. Through the emission of toxic and greenhouse gases as well as the usage and disposal of non-renewable resources, a number of environmental symptoms were occurring: - Increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect, and therefore

Yetter, Drew J., Cook Inlet Basin Location and Extent: The Cook Inlet Basin is located in the south central part of Alaska, and stretches roughly 180 miles from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage. (Figure 1) This basin includes Susitna and Copper River basins in the north and the Shelikov Straight to the southwest. The watershed of this inlet covers around 100,000 km2 in southern Alaska, east of the Aleutian Mountain Range, receiving water from four main tributaries, the Knit, Little Susitna, Susitna

block it and keep it inside the atmosphere. This leads to a higher temperature on earth. Some of the excess gasses are natural but some come from humans. There are many gasses that can cause the warming earth including: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons along with others. Nitrous oxide is one that is found in fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion which are all caused by humans. Chlorofluorocarbons are synthetic compounds that are made and used for industrial purposes

Energy choices The environment plays an integral part of offering and sustaining livelihoods to billions of humans around the globe. Without rain, food security is adversely threatened, meaning that humans’ most vital need could be affected. Recently, the issue of global warming has caught many nations’ attention as carbon emissions significantly cause it. Greenhouse gas emissions around the world have been somehow unavoidable, but countries have sought methods to mitigate the inevitable outcomes

The targets supporting the achievement of the goal can be measured, are indeed being measured but fail to provide built in incentives or sanctions should these targets not be met or fulfilled. The idea is to put a stop to deforestation, restore land and water ecosystems, protect the planet’s biodiversity and various species. Key to the success of the goal is the target to significantly increase financial resources to support conservation, sustainable development and ensure equitable sharing and access

thing on this planet. Of the contributors to the rising temperature of the world, carbon dioxide and methane emissions are the most common. According to an article in Food Engineering and Ingredients, over 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide entered the atmosphere in 2010, but “urgent action to reduce that figure is imperative” (“Reducing food manufacturing” 34). Carbon dioxide, along with methane, make up the most common greenhouse gases, which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Another article

Third to First World Problems As a country develops the infrastructure for the country, must be established or develop at a rate fast enough to compensate for the countries growth. If the basic service infrastructure does not develop at a fast enough rate or is not established properly, people that are in poorer communities or of a lower class are over looked or mistreated in the way the service is constructed around them. One of the most visible ways this can be seen is the development of waste

Carbon Footprint Our carbon footprint is an estimation of the anthropogenic impact that we have on the environment. What it shows is the impact our every day decisions have in releasing green house gases into the atmosphere. Our individual carbon footprint adds up with the other 7 billion people in the world, and it becomes crystal clear that we are exploiting our resources. Each and every single person’s carbon footprint has an effect on global warming. It impacts not only humans but also our

production of food consuming vast quantities of water, fertilizer and land. The fuel that is burned to process, refrigerate and transport it also adds to the environmental cost. Most food waste is thrown away in landfills, where it decomposes and emits methane, a potent
