yielding metabolism in aerobic organisms. All oxidative steps in the degradation of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids converge at this final stage of cellular respiration, in which the energy of oxidation drives the synthesis of ATP. Photophosphorylation is the means by which photosynthetic organisms capture the energy of sunlight—the ultimate source of energy in the biosphere—and harness it to make ATP. Together
Collisions: All around us (cars, buses) Grand astronomical scale (stars, galexies) Nuclear, atomic and molecular physics The impulse-momentum theorem relates the change in the momentum of a system to the total force on it and the time interval during which this total forces acts
Project management encompasses all the activities needed to plan and execute a project: Deciding what needs to be done Estimating costs Ensuring there are suitable people to undertake the project
When Mendel did his crosses of pea plants, he knew what a pea plant was supposed to look like: a small plant with green leaves, purple flowers, and smooth seeds. But if all pea plants were like that, he would never have been able to sort out the rules of heredity—in a cross of green peas with green peas, there would have been no visible differences to reveal the
Important physical characteristics of MSW include specific weight, moisture content, particle size and size distribution, field capacity, and compacted waste porosity. The discussion is limited to an analysis of residential, commercial, and some industrial solid wastes. Note, however, that the fundamentals of analysis presented in this and the following chapter are applicable to all types of solid wastes
The first three types of control devices we consider--gravity settlers, cyclone separators, and electrostatic precipitators--all function by driving the particles to a solid wall, where they adhere to each other to form agglomerates that can be removed from the collection device and disposed of
Wave motion is the most universal physical phenomenon, we discover the wave motion all around us. Mechanical waves—acoustic wave, water wave Electromagnetic waves—radio, light wave Matter waves—electron wave
All around us: wheels, skaters, ballet, gymnasts, helicopter, rotors, mobile engines, CD disks, … Atomic world: electrons— “spin”, “orbit”. Universe: planets spin and orbiting the sun, galaxies spin, …
