2.3.3 Effects of heavy metals on plants Plants are sensitive for both‚ deficient and excess availability of some of the heavy metal ions. In which some of them at low concentration are compulsory micronutrients‚ while the same at higher concentrations such as Cd‚ Hg‚ As are intensely toxic to the metabolic activities of the plants (Reeves and Baker‚ 2000; Fernandes and Henriques‚ 1991). Agricultural soil is contaminated by heavy metals‚ has become a critical environmental concern due to their potential

THICKNESS OF ZINC ON A PIECE OF GALVANIZED METAL Department of Biology‚ College of Science‚ University of the Philippines Baguio ABSTRACT The experiment was performed to be able to determine the thickness of zinc on a piece of galvanized metal. It also aimed for the students to be introduced to the reactivates of metals with acids as well as for them to develop some feeling for the size of an atom. In determining the thickness of the zinc coating on the metal‚ students‚ knowing the density of zinc

The Distinction between Ferrous and Non-ferrous Metals Metals can be classified as either ferrous or non-ferrous. So what is the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals? It is the most frequently asked questions. Shortly speaking‚ ferrous metals and alloys contain iron while non-ferrous materials do not. Ferrous metals include mild steel‚ carbon steel‚ stainless steel‚ cast iron‚ and wrought iron. These metals are primarily used for their tensile strength and durability‚ especially
