Hi there!

This process is known as cellular respiration. It is essential for all living to survive because it allows aerobic organisms to convert food into energy - without cellular respiration, we would not be able to produce energy, making it impossible to perform bodily functions that are important for life. 

The word equation for cellular respiration is:
Glucose (energy) + Oxygen + Water ⇒ Carbon Dioxide + Water 

The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂+6H₂O⇒6CO₂+12H₂O

Hope this helps!

Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.

Explanation:

Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.

Two consequences of this practice are:

  • The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute  to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
  • The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water  could get into surface.

lions [1.4K]

DNA contains instructions for making the different molecules that a cell needs to grow and function. For example, proteins are made by translating mRNA.

<h3>What is DNA and what is its function?</h3>

DNA is the structure responsible for transmitting all genetic characteristics — such as eye, skin and hair color, physiognomy, among others — in the process of reproduction of living beings. In this way, the main function of DNA is to carry information contained in its sequences, called genes.

DNA is made up of two chains of polynucleotides (strand), which are made up of several nucleotides. Nucleotides are joined together by bonds called phosphodiester (phosphate group linking two sugars of two nucleotides).
