This variety is separated into five categories: Industrial products, agricultural products, food additives, medical products, and biofuels. A few examples of the products in these categories are vitamins, nucleotides, antibiotics, and enzymes (Prescott…
What takes up parts of the Earth’s land, pollutes the air, and diminishes resources, time, and money? It may be shocking, but food waste is the answer. No one would think that throwing a few fries and the last bite of a burger away would be a big deal, but when you think of everyone who throws away their leftovers, it adds up. All of the food waste has to go somewhere. It doesn’t just disappear or stay in the garbage truck forever. Everyday people all over the U.S. throw out their food, whether…
The Truth behind GMO’s From the first but fire built, to the enlightenment, to now, people have used technology to further advance their knowledge of this earth. As humans the technology that we have discovered extraordinary things. Every day science advances in new methods to make people 's lives productive, faster, and more efficient. However science sometimes pushes the boundaries of humans ethical, scientific and political views. A new controversy has sprung from Genetically Modified…
1. Introduction Pre-industrial revolution, humans beings used to live a primitive life whereby they used wood for cooking, warming house; as biofuel. Even later when they lived in houses, they used candles to light up their homes. Post-industrial revolution, human beings discovered new energy resources which have made life much easier to live. And the discovery of these resources (coal and oil), have also supported the advancement of new technologies e.g. automobiles, airplanes, generation of…
New Food New Attitude Take a moment and think about what you had to eat for breakfast or lunch today. A few replies might include cereal, fruit, or a sandwich. Chances are, most of you didn’t go outside and pick your fruits or vegetables off the plant, or go and butcher a chicken. For most of us, we purchase our food from the grocery store, where a majority of the food is genetically enhanced or different from its original form. Nearly 75% of processed food here in the U.S. contains at least one…

to the loss of the Great Barrier Reef, we must recognize a cause for these issues. Many are quick to point fingers at fossil fuels, which are currently our main source of energy. These people demand a switch to alternative energy options, such as biofuels, solar, nuclear energy, and wind energy. Supporters of alternative energy believe that these new methods will solve many problems at once; New alternatives will be more sustainable and less destructive to our plant and boost our economy be…

Impact of climate change on livestock 1. Introduction Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period - typically decades or longer - (VijayaVenkataRaman et. al., 2012). Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcing, or to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land-use. Climate change has long-since ceased to be a…
The hypothesis was supported as the rate of reaction did increase as the concentration and the temperature increased. The concentration, or molarity, of the reactants increased in relation to time in the form M=1.1541e0.0016t. This is an accurate relationship as the volume remains the same as the number of molecules increase, thus the rate would increase exponentially as the molecules collide at a constant growth rate. This is also a reliable model as the R² value is 0.9697. The hypothesis that…
