BIOLOGY 171 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Microcephaly, Carbon Cycle, Water Vapor
Document Summary
Spread the zika virus through brazil and then to those traveling through brazil. The cycling of carbon and other biologically important elements through the biosphere. Consists of all life on earth and all parts of the earth in which life exists, including land, water, and the atmosphere. When the water temperature gets warm the coral expels the mutualistic algae which hold the pigment in the coral, so the coral loses their color. Photosynthetic rates increase at higher water temperatures they produce so much oxygen they can reach toxic level for the coral. A chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products. Movement of individuals away from centers of high population density or their area of origin. Processes that move carbon among different pools. Without them, the earth would be about 60 degrees fahrenheit colder. Co2 is not the only important greenhouse gas. Gases for a blanket over the earth to keep heat trapped in the close atmosphere.
