Day Extracting Energy From Biomass
What does cellular respiration produce?
Is it in the presence of oxygen (aerobic condition)? Fermentation occurs when oxygen is absent (anaerobic condition). Organisms like bacteria and some fungi release the energy in glucose.
Greenhouse gases
Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that prevent heat from leaving the atmosphere

Acid Precipitation Fossil fuels being burned by humans can release undesirable chemicals
Acid Precipitation Fossil fuels being burned by humans can release undesirable chemicals Rain, snow, or fog that is unnaturally acidic due to gases in the atmosphere that react with water to form acids acid rain
