Medicinal plants are resources of new drugs. It is estimated there are more than 250‚ 000 flower plant species. 5. Studying medicinal plants helps to understand plant toxicity and protect human and animals from natural poisons. 6. Cultivation and preservation of medicinal plants protect biological diversity‚ for example metabolic engineering of plants. Introduction: Why Study Medicinal Plants Plant resources for new medicine Bryophytes (nonvascular plants‚ e.g. liverwort and moss) have about

Abstract: In this experiment‚ two object collided both elastically and in inelastically‚ the purpose of this experiment is to study the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions using two bodies. We also calculated the amount of kinetic energy in elastic and inelastic collisions before and after the collision. Introduction: When bodies collide with each other‚ the total momentum p = mv‚ is always conserved regardless of the type of collision provided no external forces are present. There

Summary: Water pollution remains one of the most visible and persistent signs of our impact on the natural world. Cleanup of some older pollutants has been offset by new contaminants that threaten freshwater ecosystems and foul our drinking water. The sight and smell of grossly polluted waterways provided some of the original impetus to the environmental movement in the 1970s. Nearly a century before that‚ the dangers of polluted water to human health drove what became known as the "sanitary

60-70% of the world’s total biodiversity exists. India has two out of the 18 biodiversity hot spots in the world. India has rich traditional knowledge and wisdom in the conservation of nature and natural resources. Religious beliefs‚ culture and folklore have together treated nature and environment with sanctity. Conservation and protection of environment and love for nature have always been part and parcel of Indian ethos and culture. Independent India has traveled a long way on the path

Soil Erosion And Conservation SOIL EROSION AND CONSERVATION Erosion Erosion is the removal of soil particles by the motion of wind or water. Soil erosion is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture throughout the world. The fallowing contributes to soil erosion: Misuse of land‚ Mismanagement of arable land‚ Indiscriminate felling of trees‚ Overgrazing‚ Poor soil and water management Erosion causes or Results in a: Decline in soil fertility‚ Water supply‚

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety
