  4. insect on water Water - H2O

  5. Caloric value of food

  6. Hubbert’s Peak, K. S. Deffeyes

  7. Electrochemical Cell

  8. Metabolism C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ----------> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy Carbon atoms in glucose are oxidized - each carbon loses 2 electrons) as they are converted to carbon dioxide. Each oxygen atom is reduced by gaining 2 electrons when it is converted to water. Part of the energy is released as heat and the remainder is stored in the chemical bonds of "energetic" compounds such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).

  9. Greenhouse Effect - why is CO2 a greenhouse gas, but N2, is not? Thalidomide http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/thalidomide/start.html Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers as Medical Devices http://www.devicelink.com/mpb/archive/98/03/002.html
