What is Organic? The word ’Organic’ means ’living’‚ and in practical terms‚ this means natural food that is grown and processed without chemical fertilizers‚ pesticides‚ herbicides or fungicides. Nothing unnatural is allowed so there are no growth hormones‚ antibiotics‚ preservatives‚ dyes‚ chemical coatings or irradiation allowed. There is no genetic engineering allowed in organic foods. Organic food is nothing else but good pure nutritional food - the way it used to be. Toxic overload

(6 marks) Carbon dioxide is produced by power plants and motor vehicles by complete combustion when there is plenty of oxygen supply. It is a major pollution of enhanced greenhouse effect. This can be avoided by using filters such as

In specific detail‚ describe a published procedure for the definitive identification of Heroin utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS). Heroin is a white crystalline powder with no odor and a bitter taste. It is a derivative of morphine in that the –OH (hydroxyl group) is replaced by an acetyl group‚ -OCOCH3 and has a molecular formula is C21H23NO5 with a molecular weight of 369.42

incorporated into the inks. Sometimes‚ the color change occurring at a temperature is permanent‚ and at other times the original color can be regained on cooling. Accordingly‚ we have an irreversible or reversible thermochromic system. The required chemistry can be adopted based on the end use. That means one can select an irreversible thermochromic system when a certain temperature crossing is to be monitored and a reversible system when the actual temperature range is to be monitored. The color change

growth in organic products. Ceres increased their revenues by over 75% in just five years‚ while growing profits by over 25% (based on Exhibits 2‚ 3 & 4). Ceres’s basic strategy started with its founder‚ Jonathan Wydown‚ to promote sustainable organic gardens and landscapes to environmentally conscious consumers. Mr. Wydown has been a proponent of soil preservation‚ biodiversity‚ and natural fertilizers and pest control. Mr. Wydown was confident that the same principles behind organic farming would

Abstract This is a review paper that identified factors causing students’ poor performance in science as teachers’ method of teaching‚ students’ interest‚ class size‚ poor laboratory facilities among other factors. Recommendations were made at the end of the paper; one of such recommendations was that teachers should be more dedicated to their duties Introduction Science is different from other disciplines by its processes which are; observation‚ classification‚ measurement‚ prediction‚ problem
