Since it is a plant it will help reduce the “green house” gases and pollution in the air, not to mention making a cleaner burning fuel source to replace gasoline and reduce the amount of pollution even more. The plant also does not take much soil space and can be grown in between other crops such as corn. Hemp as long roots so that it improves soil structure and replenishes soil with nutrients and nitrogen and helps control erosion of topsoil. Also, once harvested, any residue can act as eco-friendly manure. It is also a weed suppresser to prevent other weeds from growing because it grows so fast and densely, it blocks out sunlight to other weeds that are trying to grow.
Wilson English 101 (Extra Credit) How to Grow an Avocado Tree: Have you ever eaten an avocado and wished you could do something with the enormous seed?

One if its main ingredients are cranberries they provide vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients without providing an excess of calories (1 cup of raw cranberries has about 50 calories). They’re also naturally fat-free and contain very little sodium. They contain the flavonoid, proanthocyanidin (PAC) that help prevent UTIs. The PACs in cranberries help prevent the adhesion of certain harmful bacteria, including E. coli, associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Whole cranberries are a good source of dietary fiber and all cranberry products contain flavonoids and polyphenolics that offer a wide range of potential heart health benefits including defense against atherosclerosis and anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Compounds that are easily oxidized can act as antioxidant to prevent other compounds from being oxidized. Vitamin A and E protect living cells from oxidative damage by acting as antioxidants. Why does adding lemon juice to fruit salad prevent browning of the fruit? When plants are cut they release a chemical called catechol and an enzyme called catechol oxidase.
What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
and Weed control experts. Hypothesis If home-made and commercial herbicides are sprayed on weeds then the commercial herbicides will be more effective, because the chemicals are made by experts who know what chemicals kill and prevent weeds. Experiment Fill 2 different boxes and fill then with soil make sure to use the same type and amount of soil. Measure around one cup of grass seed and sprinkle it on the soil. Water the seeds daily until the grass is at least 1.5 inches tall.
Though, Butterbur is a perennial shrub that grows in Europe, Asia and North America. The active constituents are petasin and isopetasin, which are believed to reduce smooth muscle spasm and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Researchers at the University of Dundee, Scotland, evaluated the effects of butterbur in people with allergic asthma who were also using inhalers. They found that butterbur added to the anti-inflammatory effect of the
In collecting wild foods, beware of the poisonous plants and avoid areas which are likely polluted. Fruit and Vegetables: Many fruits are enjoyed by guinea pigs, including such items as apples, pears and soft fruits. Although green foods and fruit are important items in the guinea pig's diet, they should be given sparingly otherwise scouring may be encouraged. Root vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, Swedes, parsnips and beetroot are also highly nutritious. Cereals: In addition to hay, fruit and vegetables, a dish of cereal grain should be available at all times.
This is the same with the orange juice. Sugar can affect plant growth too. Over expressing Arabidopsis in plants reduces growth in plants. Due to hypertonic states of different liquids, some juices and sodas can kill plants. This experiment will look at how soda, juice, and water will affect the growth of plants.
It is a powerful antioxidant and as such helps to protect the cells in our bodies from damage. Studies in humans have shown that lycopene is protective against a variety of cancers including prostate of course, but also colorectal, breast, lung, endometrial, pancreatic, bladder, cervical and skin cancers. Lycopene has also been shown to help prevent heart disease and may slow the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, an age related vision problem that can lead to blindness. The vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, and folate found in abundance in tomatoes are potent protectors against heart disease. Niacin can lower high cholesterol levels and potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of heart disease.
