... one from the brighter area has more oxygen. Since all of the photosynthetic ideas were theory, the scientists have to guess how all of the reaction works, so they use a black box theory, and draw a diagram like this: Since 1900, biologists have studied the box to see what they could get out of it, and have found that they could separate ... depicted by this symbol (~). The basic equation of ATP is: A "P~P + "P +energy A "P~P~P The attachment of a phosphate is called phosphorylation, or if light is involved, photophosphorylation. The reactions, in a black box diagram, may look like this:...

... combining carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce methane gas (BSCS). To find out about life, we must look into the ocean floor where we found geothermal activity. An organism called a "black smoker" released tremendous heat with lots of bacteria who get energy from mineral rich water. Yellowstone National Park has lots of geothermal displays, which still exist today. Yellowstone's geysers shoot ... ...

... water heated by geothermal vents. These geothermal vents may create a sort of time capsule into the past. They may have protected many different microbes from early eras causing a sort of black hole effect in the earth slowing down the evolutionary tract of these organisms. They may contain valuable information on evolutionary tactics of single-celled organisms from back in the prehistoric ... ...

... or deep-lying. Podzol soils are moderately to strongly leached soils in forests and in humid regions. They are not naturally very productive for agriculture. Chernozem soils (from Russian for "black earth") have a dark surface layer underlain by more lightly colored soil. They typically develop under grasses while the temperate is cool. Sub-humid climates are highly productive, although they require ... ...
