Fermentation

Fermentation is an anaerobic cellular process in which organic food is converted to simple compounds. Fermentation produces ATP. The amount of ATP produced by fermentation is significantly lower than the amount of ATP produced by cellular respiration. This process occurs in fruit, fungi, bacteria, yeast, and animal muscle. Humans control the process to produce bread, alcohol, and vinegar. The process is anaerobic, but does may occur in the presence of oxygen. It occurs in muscle tissue when the oxygen supply to the muscle is low.

Fermentation is controlled to produce alcohol.

Photosynthesis

Here is everything anybody needs to know about photosynthesis:

Just kidding. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy to chemical energy. They store the energy as sugar. Organelles in plant cells, called chloroplasts, are the site of photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts are thylakoids which contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that gives plants their color. Plants absorb light from the sun in order to perform this. The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O+light---------> C6H12O6+6O2.

This Bamboo plant performs photosynthesis in order get energy.

Base

A base is the opposite of an acid. It has a pH above 7.0. They have bitter tastes and are slippery to the touch. The aqueous solution of a base is capable of conducting electrical currents. They can turn a red litmus test blue. When they react with acids, they form salt and water.

Baking soda is basic.

Acid

An acid "is a chemical compound that disassociates in a solution, releasing hydrogen ions and lowering the pH (it is a proton donor). An acidic solution has a pH below 7.0." They have a sour taste (but don't go around tasting random acids!),  are capable of turning a litmus test red, and can form salts when they react with bases, metals, and alkalis. The word acid comes from the Latin word "acere," meaning sour.

The sour taste found in limes and other citrus fruits  is a result of all the acid  inside.

Carbon

Carbon is an element. Its atomic weight is 12.011. Different forms and variations of carbon include soot, charcoal, graphite, and diamond. In fact, the word carbon derives from the Latin root "carbo" which means charcoal. With sufficient weight and temperature, it is possible to transform graphite into diamond.
                                                                               

What is usually called the 'lead' of a pencil is in fact graphite. You can also write with charcoal.

The identifier that I have decided to use is the "Coin of Excellence" that I earned in JROTC during my freshman year. It will appear in each photograph that I upload.
