Effects of Organic Food on Drosophila Melanogaster A new study has shown that fruit flies that lived on organic foods tended to be healthier than those that lived on conventional foods. The two things that researchers based their conclusions for health on were fertility and longevity. These two things are two important aspects to a fly’s life. On both of these tests‚ the flies that were fed organic food performed better than the flies that were fed conventional food. They survived for a longer

Organic Vs. Conventional Grown Food Ever wonder what truly goes in to the food that is produced and sold in our grocery stores. You would be surprised as to what is used to grow the food we eat. Conventionally grown foods can use trace amount of nicotine and arsenic to keep food pest free. Conventionally grown food can be pumped with hormones that allow the crops and animals to grow larger or produce more fruit and vegetables. By using all of the artificial products in conventionally grown

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting

Identification of Unknown Organic Compounds by Melting Point‚ Boiling Point‚ and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The goal of this laboratory experiment was to determine the structure and identity of an unknown solid and an unknown liquid by using elemental analysis‚ index of hydrogen deficiency‚ infrared spectroscopy‚ melting point (for solid)‚ and boiling point (for liquid). In this laboratory‚ we were given unknown solid “C” and unknown liquid “D”. The empirical formula

the benefit of climbing beans. And they are easy to harvest! The Organic Farmer A large section of the Kenyan population is unable to afford high protein food with adequate proteins‚ such as meat and eggs. This is where beans play a very important part; they are a cheap source of proteins. Unfortunately‚ the production of beans in most parts of the country is declining. The problem is the lack of good seeds . A survey by The Organic Farmer at the beginning of March this year indicated that most of

Marketing Environment : Organic food refers to food items that are produced‚ processed and packaged without using chemicals. Organic food is increasingly becoming popular due to its perceived health benefits over conventional food. The industry is growing rapidly since the past five years and has caught the attention of farmers‚ manufacturers and‚ above all‚ consumers. The health benefits of organic food are more perceived than real. However‚ the public opinion that organic food is healthier than conventional
