All foods have essential macronutrients (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium and sulphur) and micronutrients (iron, iodine, zinc, chromium, selenium, fluoride, molybdenum, copper and manganese) which play vital role in the body. In consideration of the basic components of a balanced diet (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins) proteins are regarded as an essential element which are needed for body structure…

2.1 Soil The soil is a major source and natural medium for plant growth which has a direct impact on yield and quality of crops growing on it. 2.1.1 Nutrients in soil Most plants raise by absorbing nutrients from the soil. Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth and development. There are two main classification of nutrients in the soil; Macronutrients and Micronutrients. Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) are also essential for plant growth, but not considered…

QXT2- Task 6 “No man is an island no man stands alone”, no entity on Earth can survive without interacting with abiotic factors. Organisms strive daily for survival. Their survival is predicated on receiving enough energy and nutrients to carry out metabolism and maintain homeostasis. Survival of a species is determined by the fitness of an organism within its environment and how successful it is at passing its genes on to its progeny. When examining the interactions that must be carried out…

abundant quantities in the body. Macrominerals are calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulfur. Microminerals in smaller quantities than macrominerals. Microminerals are chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon and zinc. Both macrominerals and microminerals can be obtained through food sources. They can also be manufactured synthetically. They fulfil tailor made functions that target different cells, organs and systems within the…

Introduction: There are many interactions between nutrients which can affect their absorption and impact on your health. Many manufacturers and consumers don't realize that improper mixtures of in gradients can have serious hazards. for instance, calcium supplements may lead to zinc deficiency as calcium can block absorption of zinc. Anyone can mix nutrients and sell you a pill, and you can buy a variety of vitamins and minerals in the store and take them but getting the scientifically justified…

Quantification of Iron in Whole Grain Cereal Jacob Rickman and Yasmeen Coan Submitted to: Curt Zanelotti CHEM 1045, Experiment No. 12, April 15, 2016 LABORATORY WRITTEN REPORT Honor Code Signature: _________________ Objective In this experiment, we gained an understanding of the relationship between chemistry and food products while developing and enhancing good lab techniques. We applied dilution concepts to carry out the experiment. By using these concepts and techniques, we created a…

Chemistry Task 2 Portfolio Outline and examine some uses of different metals through history, including contemporary uses, as uncombined metals or as alloys. Metal/Metal Alloy Uses Throughout History Copper - Used to make ornaments and domestic utensils in historical times (not as tools as it is a soft metal) - In modern times used in electrical wiring, pipes and plumbing fittings, jewellery, decoration, - This is due to its malleability, ductility and good electrical conductivity. Bronze…

Sunflower plants grow well in average to rich soils. They need to grow their roots deep and wide, to enable them to withstand strong winds. If you have a choice, sandy soils are not recommended, as they are easily uprooted in loose soil. Rich soil is important, when growing giant varieties. Contrary to its name, we found they will tolerate some shade as we put them against an east wall of our house every year. However, they will grow their best in full sun. Deep roots help sunflowers to…

Phase Diagram and Phase Transformation Fig. 1 shows (FCC) Nickel-(BCC) Chromium binary phase diagram. The eutectic reaction takes place at 1345°C and the composition is 51% Cr and 49% Ni. The solid solubility of Cr in Ni is extensive which is evident from the phase diagram. Phase transformations of two Ni-Cr alloys are explained below. One is Ni40Cr60 (Line 2) which is closer to eutectic composition and contains greater % Cr and the other alloy is Ni68Cr32 (Line 1) which contains greater % Ni.…

A superfood which is catching a big attraction everywhere is chia seeds and places itself on the top of the super food category. These are small greyish, black, brown and white magical seeds which have extraordinary medicinal effects. Apart from its weight loss benefits, chia seeds are beneficial in many other ailments and exhibit many properties. But before I explain these benefits to you, you must know some history about these seeds. These tiny seeds come from Mexico. These seeds are a part…
