Two very important fuel gases are made from
petroleum during the refining process. They are butane
and propane, which are similar to methane. These
gases are sold in small tanks and are used for cigarette
lighters, portable welding torches, and camping stoves.

Mixture of the two gases are stored under
pressured .as a liquid. For this reason the mixture is
called liquefied petroleum gas or LPG. As it is used the
liquid in the tank evaporates and leaved the tank as gas.
The main use of LPG is as a cooking fuel on farms and
in small towns are where a central gas making plant


would not be practical. Instead of piping the gas to the

THE DIGESTTVE SYSTEM

When you're hungry and you smell dinner, your
mouth waters. This is the first step in changing the
food you eat into the kind .of food that cells can use.
This change is called digestion, and it begins in the
mouth.

Suppose you are eating sandwich. Your front
teeth cut and tear the sandwich. The molars grind it.
Saliva, the juice in the mouth, gets everything moist.
Saliva also contains a type of chemical called an
enzyme. It starts breaking down the starch of the bread
into sugar.

The moist ball of the food is carried to the back of
the mouth by the tongue. Muscles force the food into
the esophagus, a narrow tube behind the windpipe.
Other muscles force the food down the esophagus.
They do their work so well that the food would travel
along even if the person were doing a headstand.

Read Text/Wacana lV

Whenever you go, whatever you do - inside, on
top of a mountain, deep a coal mine - you are always
surrounded by a. sea of gases. This sea called the air, or
the atmosphere.

The gases of the atmosphere cannot be seen, and
we are rarely aware of them. But they are of the
greatest importance. Without the atmosphere, people,
animals, and plants could not live. Of almost equal
importance is the quality of the atmosphere - whether it
is pure or polluted (meaning impure).

The atmosphere is made up mainly of the gases,
oxygen and nitrogen, together with water vapour and
smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases. But
all air contains small amounts of impurities. In rural
areas, far removed from the factories and heavy traffic,
the air may contain pollen from plants, dust from the
soil, and even bacteria. These impurities are usually in
such small amount that they are not important.

Air is said to be polluted when it contains enough
harmful impurities to affect the health, safety, or
comfort of living things. The impurities or pollutants,
could be tiny particles of matter or gases not normally
found in air.


EBTANAS-SMA-88-46

the gases of the atmosphere. Why?


EBTANAS-SMA-88-47

Why are the gases of the atmosphere very important?

EBTANAS-SMA-88-50

When is air said to be polluted?
