Glyphosate

Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine , C 3 H 8 NO 5 P, CAS 1071-83-6) is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide developed for the elimination of weeds and shrubs, especially perennials. It is a total herbicide. It is absorbed by the leaves and not the roots . It can be applied to the leaves, injected into trunks and stems , or sprayed on stumps as a forestry herbicide. The application of glyphosate kills plants because it suppresses … Read more

Benzene

Benzene. Colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It evaporates quickly into the air and is slightly soluble in water . It is highly flammable and is formed both by natural processes and by human activities. Brief history Benzene was discovered in 1825 by the English scientist Michael Faraday , C6H6, as one of the components of an oil he collected from lighting gas pipes . Its composition … Read more

Cellular division

Cell division . A very important part of the cell cycle in which an initial cell (called the “mother”) divides to form daughter cells. Thanks to cell division, the growth of multicellular organisms occurs with the growth of tissues (biology) and vegetative reproduction in unicellular beings .

Electric battery

Electric battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. All batteries are made up of an electrolyte (which can be liquid, solid or pasty), a positive and a negative electrode. The electrolyte is an ionic conductor; while one electrode generates electrons and the other accepts them. By connecting the electrodes to the circuit to be powered, an electric current … Read more

Electrochemical cell

An electrochemical battery is a device capable of obtaining electrical energy from chemical reactions, or producing chemical reactions through the introduction of electrical energy. A common example of an electrochemical cell is the standard 1.5 volt “battery”. In reality, a “cell” is a single galvanic cell, while a battery consists of several cells connected in series.
