Given the media coverage surrounding climate change, most people are aware of this
environmental issue. One that is less well known but may become just as crucial is
"peak oil." What is peak oil? Simply put, it is the point at which the world production of
oil reaches its highest point and begins a steady, irreversible decline. This has been
known for some time. Hubbert's Curve (1956), named for the scientist who formulated it,
predicted that U.S. production would peak around 1970. He was off by 1 year. Since
1971-2, the oil production of the United States has been gradually declining.

catabolic reaction
breaks down complex molecules into smaller molecules to create energy for the
organism to use.
Oxidation
when an element loses one or more electrons to oxygen
Reduction
when an element gains one or more electrons.
process in which a cell takes in oxygen and uses it to break down glucose to create
energy in the form of ATP.
Cellular respiration

Organ system
collection of specialized cells that perform a specific functions (e.g. protection, support,
nerve conduction and movement).
Tissues
A group of organs that work together to perform several related functions is
organ system.
A group of tissues that has a specialized function is referred to as an
organ.
