Effects of Organic Food on Drosophila Melanogaster A new study has shown that fruit flies that lived on organic foods tended to be healthier than those that lived on conventional foods. The two things that researchers based their conclusions for health on were fertility and longevity. These two things are two important aspects to a fly’s life. On both of these tests‚ the flies that were fed organic food performed better than the flies that were fed conventional food. They survived for a longer

Essay points to concentrate on: - Russian organic market continues to grow‚ which is indicated by the recent statistics compared from 2011 to 2012 that reached $148 million in 2012. A 7.8% growth was indicated since 2011. - The lack of Russian certification system seems to pose a challenge on the expansion of organic food demand in Russia. - In 2015‚ Russian organic food is expected to boom significantly in the future due to the law that is going to be enforced by obtaining the certification

Organic Food Once found only in health food stores‚ organic food is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that’s created a bit of a dilemma in the produce aisle. On one hand‚ you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other‚ you have one that’s organic. Both apples are firm‚ shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fiber‚ and both are free of fat‚ sodium and cholesterol. Which should you choose? The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products‚ such

Melting point 1. What two effects do impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid.

Four elements‚ hydrogen‚ carbon‚ oxygen and nitrogen‚ are the major components of most organic compounds. Consequently‚ our understanding of organic chemistry must have‚ as a foundation‚ an appreciation of the electronic structure and properties of these elements. The truncated periodic table shown above provides the orbital electronic structure for the first eighteen elements (hydrogen through argon). According to the Aufbau principle‚ the electrons of an atom occupy quantum levels or orbitals starting

13. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IV) ALKYNES SYNOPSIS Alkynes are commonly known as acetylenes. Acetylene is the simplest and important member of the alkyne series. • Alkynes contain – C ≡ C – • General molecular formula of alkynes is CnH2n–2 • Triple bonded carbons are ‘sp’ hybridized and greater s – character is associated with it. • Alkynes will exhibit chain‚ position and functional isomerism. • Their functional isomers are alkadienes and cyclo alkenes. • The minimum number of carbons required to exhibit

solution of cane or beet sugar until sufficient water has been evaporated to give a mixture which will set to a gel on cooling and which contains 32-34% water. Gel formation is dependent on the presence in the fruit of the carbohydrate pectin‚ which at a pH of 3.2 - 3.4 and in the presence of a high concentration of sugar‚ has the property of forming a viscous semi-solid. During jam boiling‚ all micro-organisms are destroyed within the product‚ and if it is filled hot into clean receptacles which are

A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen‚ usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words‚ with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars.
