Introduction: Once a plant begins growth, it depends on multiple abiotic factors to continue growing: light, carbon dioxide and water. These three factors affect the growth rate of a plant, causing it to grow quicker or slower. Furthermore, altering these factors may stunt plants growth or improve it. For example, plants require an adequate amount of water to survive. Water hydrates the plant and also breaks down the minerals in the soil. As the plant absorbs the water, nutrients are transported…

Fiber is of two types: Soluble and Insoluble Fiber. Soluble fiber is the type of fiber which dissolves in water. Soluble fiber is found in different types of fruits and vegetables including apples, oatmeal, oat bran, dried beans, and rye flour. Meanwhile, Insoluble fiber is fiber which does not dissolve in water because of its high cellulose content. Insoluble fiber is present in the bran of grains, pulp of fruits, and the skin of different vegetables. The two types of fiber have different…

Introduction Adakites are volcanic rocks that are diagnostic of high temperature, high pressure conditions, (Stevenson, 2005). Their composition ranges from felsic to intermediate, and are characterized by assemblages of plagioclase, and often amphibole, and are identified by their unique geochemical signatures. Adakite is named Adak Island, Alaska, where it was first documented,(Defant and Drummond, 1990). They are often formed through the partial melting of a young subducting slab of…

Hydroponic Food Production Introduction Since ancient times human beings have learned to work the earth in order to survive. With the pass of time humans have developed different ways to improve productivity when cultivating plants. This is particularly important with the increase in human population, lost farm lands and climate changes. (Arteca) Currently there are a couple of different methods to cultivate plants. Even thou Although all of them have the same objective of generating…

2. Calcium “Calcium is a metal, a bright shiny metal like all other metals. Calcium is not the white powdery substance most people believe.” Calcium is found in our body very abundantly and it is very important mineral, but its absorption, assimilation and utilization is very difficult in the cell. It is present in the bones as a main component and bones are rigid and hard due to it. We can get it from milk. Bones receives calcium and fills up with it at the age of 21 years. After it, there is…

acetyl acetone (pentone-2,4-dione)-boric oxide complex and an aromatic aldehyde in addition of tributyl borate and butylamine at 60°C with ethyl acetate as the solvent.8 This synthetic method involves aldol condensation, by forming acetylacetone-boron complex, and cleavage of the complex via hydrolysis under acidic condition. The Pabon method indeed is an easy experiment to perform however, this synthetic procedure yields low to moderate of product. The synthesis of curcumin derivatives that is…

element that are critical for plants to sustain life function and complete their life cycle (Uchida, 2000). These nutrients are classified into two groups micro a macro nutrients. Micronutrients are elements are used in very small amount these include boron, chlorine, cooper, iron, manganese and zinc. While Macronutrients are nutrients that are required in large amounts, these include Potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen. Potassium is vital to plant growth as is an enzyme activator that promotes…

Content Stoichiometry is the relationship of the masses of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. For a given mass of a substance in a reaction, the mass of any other substance in the reaction can be obtained using the coefficients of the balanced chemical equations and the molar masses of the substances involved. The amounts obtainable from a balanced chemical equation are called stoichiometric amounts (Villamar Jr., 2004). As what was said in the introduction, the first topic that…

Farming is the way crops have been produced throughout cultures and generations, originating with the traditional soil method. The traditional soil method of growing plants is a process by which crops are grown in soil (Freedman, 2004). In this process, there are a multitude of things to be controlled and done. One must rotate crops, prevent soil erosion, exterminate pests, efficiently conserve water, diversify crops, and maintain soil conditions (Valenzuela, 2003). In attempt to minimize these…

similar to another remarkable car, the Tesla Model S P100D. The Model S boasts to be “the safest, most exhilarating sedan on the road” (Model S), and with its autopilot capabilities, all-wheel drive, electronic traction control, and impact absorbing boron steel rails, these statements seem to hold true. Because of these car’s intricately designed bodies and unique aerodynamic builds, they were able to break speed records held before them. The Studebaker Avanti broke twenty nine records when it…
