Summary Introduction
To explain: The useful and harmful effects of using insecticides, fungicides, and weed killers.
Concept introduction: Insecticide, fungicides, and weed killers are all chemical compounds manufactured in factories for pest control. They are most widely used in agriculture. These compounds can be synthetic, organic, or inorganic.
Summary Introduction

Many consumer products are almost identical in chemical composition but are sold under different brand names and at varying prices. Should some medical drugs be identified by their chemical (generic) names or trade names? Why?
Are natural compounds such as cellulose and petroleum oil easier for microorganisms (eg. bacteria etc.) to degrade than man-made compounds such as plastics?
It is simple to grind up a plant and then extract and measure all of the chemical elements present, but this does not tell us which elements are essential. Why not?

- Trivalent and pentavalent arsenic produce different effects on cells, yet there is little distinction between the two forms of arsenic when discussing signs and symptoms of poisoning. Why? Want solution ASAP Your answerarrow_forwardPlastic additives known as phthalates are odorless, colorless, and everywhere-in flooring, plastic cups, beach balls, plastic wrap, IV tubing-and yes, they've made their way into our bodies. If this sounds like the opening for an alien horror movie, the story actually gets worse. Study after study shows that phthalates have nasty effects on the human body, disrupting our metabolic and hormonal activity. Even families that were given local, fresh, organic food that was not prepared, cooked, or stored in plastic containers ended up with high levels of phthalates and BPA in their diet because these chemicals had already made their way into the food ingredients prior to cooking. 1. What are some serious metabolic and hormonal disorders that phthalates are responsible for? 2. Why Bisphenol A, also known as BPA is considered another endocrine-disrupting chemical? What does it cause? 3. BPA is replaced by BPS; is the latest safe, or the industry is replacing a toxic chemical with another, yet…arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between volatile and nonvolatile organic compounds?

- Can someone give me an understanding of Products and Reactants? The first image is from the the first chapter where it was introduced under the subject of life, chemistry and water. The second image is on another chapter I am speaks under the subject of Energy, Enzymes and Biological reactions.

They add that taking supplements may even be harmful. Supplement manufacturers claim that such statements are unfair and that their natural botanical extracts provide numerous health benefits. In fact, some suggest that beneficial effects can only be achieved by taking high-dose supplements. Given that there are currently no DRI defining the kinds of antioxidants or the daily quantities needed, how might you ensure a healthy intake of antioxidants? If you decide to take an antioxidant supplement, how might you research the product to determine its safety and effectiveness?arrow_forward
- A researcher is interested in developing a non-addictive sleeping pill. She has named the experimental drug Sleepatol. In designing the study to determine its’ effectiveness, the researcher chooses to use people (subjects) who have had years of trouble sleeping (chronic insomnia). The researcher divides the subjects into three groups: one group receives 25 mg. of Sleepatol, the second group receives 150 mg. of Sleepatol, while the third group receives an inert, sugar pill. Which of the following responses correctly identifies the three groups? Group of answer choices A .All three groups are experimental groups. B .The two groups that received Sleepatol are the control groups while the group receiving the inert pill is the experimental group. C .The group that receives 50 mg of Sleepatol is the experimental group and the other two are the control groups. D .The two groups that received Sleepatol are the experimental groups while the group receiving the inert pill is the…arrow_forwardDogs used as subjects in laboratory experiments live in stacked metal cages with only fluorescent light, never walk on grass, and associate humans with pain. In toxicology testing, they are exposed to toxins at increasing levels to determine at what point they become ill. Before a beagle can be rescued, the laboratory has to agree to release it, which can be a challenge. If the laboratory is willing, the Beagle Freedom Project still has to negotiate, which usually means paying for all costs, including veterinary care and transportation, and absolving the laboratory of all liability, and then find the dog a home. Alternatives to testing on beagles include three-dimensional human-skin-equivalent systems and a variety of advanced computer-based models for measuring skin irritation, for instance. According to the New England Anti-Vivisection Society, nonanimal tests are often more cost-effective, practical, and expedient; some produce results in a significantly shorter time.
