Introduction: Increasing Global Warming

This report discusses and focuses on the problem of climate change, which though is global in nature, is estimated to more severely affect developing countries, especially the tropical and the sub-tropical ones (Stern, 2007). The major contributor to the problem of global warming is the continuous emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. A greenhouse gas is one which prevents the heat to radiate back to space and maintains a warm climate on the Earth. These gases are released into the atmosphere by the use of fossil fuel resources, such as oil, coal, etc. As per the IEA Continue reading...

In the modern days, the sufficient energy has become a fundamental need. Individuals, business organizations, and governments are trying everything they can gain to cheap and reliable sources of energy. The tradition sources have become environmental pollutants. So they are referred inefficiency and unsustainable. Based on this reason, most people are turning to engineering expecting them to give solutions to this issue. However, solar energy is one of the best alternatives that have been created to replace the non-renewable energies, which are connected to environmental pollution (Fernandez-Garcia, et al. 1696). Solar generation plants have been developed for home appliances, Continue reading...

Introduction

Renewable and clean sources of energy are also referred to as the non-conventional types of energy source. These are sources considered safe for the environment since they replenish continuously replenished through natural means. Some of the non-conventional energy sources include; solar energy, hydroelectric (HEP) power and wind among others. The renewable energy source systems convert the natural energy into either electric, light, sound or heat energy or even all (Jaber et al 174). Although the fuel commonly in use is the fossil fuel or the non-renewable energy, they are so finite and time-bound for their depletion. Whereas the non-renewable Continue reading...

As an example of Physics in our daily life activities we can consider the interaction between our foot and the road when we walk. According to Newton`s third law for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. (Harris, W., n.d.). Force is the pull or push needed to do a work. A force exists as a result of interaction, whenever there is an interaction between the two objects there is a force acting upon each object. When one object exerts a force on the second object, the second object also exerts an equal and Continue reading...

Cell Biology

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy rich compound found in all living cells. Each ATP molecule is made up of adenosine, an organic molecule. A single adenosine molecule has three inorganic phosphates attached to it. ATP is synthesized in mitochondria of cells from respiratory substrates (mainly glucose) in a process known as respiration. This process occurs in three stages- glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport.
The first stage, glycolysis, takes place in cytoplasm of a cell. In this stage glucose is split forming two molecules of 3-carbon molecule called pyruvic acid. This process does not need oxygen to Continue reading...
