  2. Potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate

    A weak acid such as carbonic acid is sufficient for this reaction: 3 K 2 MnO 4 + 2 CO 2 2 KMnO 4 + 2 K 2 CO 3 + MnO 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {3 K2MnO4 + 2 CO2 -> 2 KMnO4 + 2 K2CO3 + MnO2}}} Permanganate salts may also be generated by treating a solution of Mn 2+ ions with strong oxidants such as lead dioxide (PbO 2 ), sodium bismuthate (NaBiO 3 ...

  3. Soil respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_respiration

    A portable soil respiration system measuring soil CO 2 flux. All cellular respiration releases energy, water and CO 2 from organic compounds. Any respiration that occurs below-ground is considered soil respiration. Respiration by plant roots, bacteria, fungi and soil animals all release CO 2 in soils, as described below.

  4. Cellular waste product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_waste_product

    Cellular waste products are formed as a by-product of cellular respiration, a series of processes and reactions that generate energy for the cell, in the form of ATP. One example of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration .

  5. Permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanganate

    A permanganate can oxidize an amine to a nitro compound, [7] [8] an alcohol to a ketone, [9] an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid, [10] [11] a terminal alkene to a carboxylic acid, [12] oxalic acid to carbon dioxide, [13] and an alkene to a diol. [14] This list is not exhaustive. In alkene oxidations one intermediate is a cyclic Mn(V) species: [15]

  6. Anaerobic respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_respiration

    Anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation generate ATP in very different ways, and the terms should not be treated as synonyms. Cellular respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) uses highly reduced chemical compounds such as NADH and FADH 2 (for example produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle) to establish an electrochemical gradient (often a proton gradient) across a membrane.

  7. Soil gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_gas

    Soil gases (soil atmosphere [1]) are the gases found in the air space between soil components. The spaces between the solid soil particles, if they do not contain water, are filled with air. The primary soil gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. [2] Oxygen is critical because it allows for respiration of both plant roots and soil ...

  8. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    Cellular respiration may be described as a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products. [1] Cellular respiration is a vital process that occurs in the cells of all [[plants and some bacteria ]].

  9. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

    Basic cations like calcium are leached from the soil as acidic rainfall flows, which allows aluminum and proton levels to increase. [3] [4] Nitric and sulfuric acids in acid rain and snow can have different effects on the acidification of forest soils, particularly seasonally in regions where a snow pack may accumulate during the winter.
