Chapter 31, Problem 2BYB
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The relationship between the greenhouse gases and the carbon cycle.
Introduction:
The carbon cycle refers to the biogeochemical cycle through which carbon is exchanged between the pedosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere of the earth. Carbon is the prime constituent of the biological compounds as well as a prime constituent of various minerals. Along with the water and nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle consists of an arrangement of events, which are essential to make the earth proficient in supporting existence.
Greenhouse gases refer to a group of compounds, which exhibit the tendency to trap heat in the atmosphere, maintaining the surface of the Earth warmer, these gases are the prime reason for the greenhouse effect. Enhancement in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming and subsequent changes in climate. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
