(a)
Interpretation:
The pros and cons for the food which is local and organic has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Foods can be categorised as organic and non-organic fooditems. The pecularity of organic foods is that the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are being avoided in the growing period. The use of organic and local food also causes less negative enviornmental impacts.
There will be difference in food cost, quality and energy consumtion while comparing the organic and non-organic foods.
In-order to reduce the carbon foot print, the use of organic and locally produced food has to be increased.

- According to USDA Organic, What are the standards for how cosmetics and personal care products are certified? Are there specific grades or amounts of certified ingredients required to receive the certification?arrow_forwardFOOD CHAIN SET 2 Identify the Producer, Consumer, Create a food chain with the organisms provided Decomposer, and/or Scavenger. Wolf Carrots Mushrooms Rabbitarrow_forwardOn the idea that ethanol/biofuel production competes with the resources being used for food production, what other alternatives are available as starting materials in the production of alcohols? More generally, what other emerging methods exist for harvesting energy from biomass and waste, if any? Provide a short analysis or critique of these. Answer in 3-4 sentences.arrow_forward
- Indicate whether or not each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer with ONE or TWO sentences. i. Lipids are considered to be more soluble in water than in other solvents. ii. The many -OH groups present in carbohydrates such as glucose make them quite insoluble in water and blood. iii. Carbohydrate structure shows that water molecules are connected to carbon atoms. iv. Hydrocarbons contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. v. A monosaccharide can be hydrolyzed to smaller units.arrow_forwardInsoluble liquids have different chemical properties. We can predict which liquid will be on the top or bottom depending on their density. If you did not know the density of the liquids in your separatory funnel, how could you test to identify which layer is the organic and which is the aqueous?arrow_forwarda) Explain what catalytic cracking and catalytic reforming are and how they work in oil refineries. b) Explain how fractional distillation works in terms of thermodynamics.arrow_forward
- Identify (3) three interests of Millennials and Gen Zs in a swiftly changing work environment. Develop a strategy that the union should advance to attract this untapped pool.arrow_forwardEthanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2- methylheptane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405 grams of 2-methylheptane? more less the same amount Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardWhen a compound containing CC, HH, and OO is completely combusted in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the reaction?

Two jars are on the counter, each labeled with their chemical formula. One is labeled C5H10O5, and the other is C3H9O3. Which one is the carbohydrate? What should Matthew's decision be based upon? Based on the number of carbons, what group of sugars should this compound be classified as?arrow_forwardSalicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen. Write the complete reaction equation and describe the odor of the reactants (salicylic acid and methanol) and the products (oil of wintergreen).arrow_forward
