What's the deal with carbon? decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169200936 2017-05-01 15:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169200936 Decelyne Elly Binjua decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169204500 Hi guys. Do you have any idea for our essay organization type for our topic?]]> 2017-05-01 15:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169204500 Angel Hau Sui Yee https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169204810 Hello ! Hmm carbon cycle. That’s a quite interesting topic to talk about.  Yeah I definitely agree with idzrul! the chain organization system is actually the most suitable type as it can be presented in chronological order as everything is related with one another.

I think we can use the chain organisation essay system. This is because the type of carbon cycle have that 'domino' effect.  What do you think?]]> 2017-05-01 15:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169205279 Decelyne Elly Binjua decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169207980 I shared the same opinion with you guys too. For example, carbon dioxide is absorbed by plant. Plant is consumed by herbivore thus causing the carbon transfer. Meanwhile, herbivore is consumed by carnivore and omnivore. The carbon cycle is a never ending cycle.]]> 2017-05-01 15:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169207980 Decelyne Elly Binjua idzrulnabilluqman https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169209230 Yes, that absolutely right Idzrul. You got what i meant for. But now, can you guys tell me the cause and effect that was brought by human to the carbon cycle?]]> 2017-05-01 15:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169209230 Angel Hau Sui Yee https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169210661 Hold on guys. Let’s take a few second to review our understanding about what carbon cycle actually is. According to my knowledge, we all know that (especially those who study science)  the carbon cycle is a system of regulatory of carbon dioxide which  is regulated by the beings that live on this planet.  Needless to say, most of the chemicals that make up living tissue contain carbon.]]> 2017-05-01 16:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169210661 Idzrul Nabil Luqman decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169213063 That is quite general Angel. Let me elaborate on that for our better understanding. The transfer of carbon dioxide according to the food chain, carbon also can be regulate by the excretory system of animals. When animal excrete urine or faeces to the ground, it will cause these substances to decompose at the soil. The decomposition of this urine and faeces is done by the bacteria. As a result of integration of these substances by bacteria, it will cause some of the carbon to the ground and most of it, will come back to the atmosphere.]]> 2017-05-01 16:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169213063 Idzrul Nabil Luqman idzrulnabilluqman https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169215824 In my opinion, due to human activities such as deforestation, release of smoke from factory and car and many other forms of pollution cause the emission of greenhouse gas that make our atmosphere become more hot. Can you guys add more evidence?]]> 2017-05-01 16:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169215824 Angel Hau Sui Yee https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169218248  I think that is a very good example. Besides that, carbon is a building block of life and a form of stored energy. Therefore, when fossil fuels are burned for energy, carbon is released. I think you guys might not know that. Next, carbon compounds move through plants and animals, the air, the ocean, and the earth. Carbon present in the air as carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and related global warming.

For example, humans breathe out carbon dioxide. Not only that, animals also release carbon dioxide during respiration. Do you know the effects that carbon emission induces? We may think that all carbon emissions are harmful but it is not necessarily so.]]> 2017-05-01 16:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169220803 Idzrul Nabil Luqman https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169222269 Hi there, we meet again for our next dicussion. The topic is about fracking. Let me share a little bit about this topic. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a process in obtaining fossil fuels. This method is becoming more famous due to the increasing demand of fossil fuels as most of the sources were already depleted. Get it guys?]]> 2017-05-01 16:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169222269 Idzrul Nabil Luqman decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169225178 I agree with you Decelyne that some of the carbon emissions have its beneficial and harmful effects. As for its beneficial effect, we all know plants need carbon dioxide to undergo photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important as plants generate their own food and it releases oxygen for living things. ]]> 2017-05-01 16:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169225178 2. Fracking explained decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169225627 2017-05-01 16:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169225627 Angel Hau Sui Yee decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169229529 Besides, carbon emissions bring more harmful than beneficial effects. We can see the adverse effect of carbon emission through environment such as global warning. This is due to the depleting of the ozone layer caused by carbon monoxide. Hence, the UV rays are reflected back to earth causing an increase in temperature.]]> 2017-05-01 17:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169229529 Decelyne Elly Binjua decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169232541 In addition to that, human health will also be affected. Humans are more prone in getting skin cancer since the UV rays are reflected back. ]]> 2017-05-01 17:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169232541 Angel Hau Sui Yee https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169401048  Meanwhile, as we can see that humans are trying to reduce the effect of  carbon emissions to the environment. They started to plant more trees as it can increase the rate of photosynthesis. Thus, releasing more amount of oxygen to the atmosphere. The amount of trees planted also affects the carbon cycle because it can reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through absorption in photosynthesis. The more trees there are the more absorption there is thus there will be less CO2 in the atmosphere. ]]> 2017-05-02 12:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169401048 Decelyne Elly Binjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169402221 Yeah apparently the hard truth is that the major effect of fracking is it contaminates water which can not be treated or decontaminated using water treatment plants.]]> 2017-05-02 12:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169402221 Angel Hau Sui Yee https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169403316 Yes! In addition to that, fracking will affect the quality of the water we receive everyday. Just imagine drinking a water full of carcinogenic  chemical, it might cause harmful effects to us right? Besides,  Clean water is important to all living things on earth. The effect of these valuable waters being contaminated is what we should be stressing about. ]]> 2017-05-02 12:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169403316 Idzrul Nabill Luqman https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/169403808 Wow you guys knew more than i do!  well guess we are all clear now that fracking is not only harmful to human but also the environment. If you guys want to know more, please watch the video below.

The organisation type for our essay is chain organization system. We agreed that this type is the best for our topic right?]]> 2017-05-09 15:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/170793698 Angel Hau Sui Yee decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/170794665 Yes, I think me and Idzrul completely agree :)

What I mean is that one thing will lead to another so I guess the best type of essay organization is chain type?]]> 2017-05-09 15:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/170798247 Idzrul Nabil Luqman decelynebinjua https://padlet.com/decelynebinjua/6v716sarsmyo/wish/170799625 Yes Decelyne.
