Forests and their Products 1. Managed forests are manmade forests‚ usually of one or two tree types and in which all the trees are the same age. Natural forests‚ which contains different tree species and of different ages. 2. 1. Draining the land and fencing 2. Planting of young trees 3. Tinning 4. Harvesting 5. Second rotation 6. Transportation 3. The trees are planted closely because as they grow their branches form a mat which excludes the light. This prevents the growth of branches

Clint Johnston 8/5/11 Legalization of Marijuana Marijuana is a very well known and controversial issue in society today. Although many claims have been made about cannabis in recent history‚ the truth is slowly starting to resurface. Marijuana could not only benefit our economy and industry but as well as our medical field. Unfortunately‚ these truths are under criticism due to the stereotypical view of what people view as the typical “pot smoker.” This biased perception of a lazy and unmotivated

and Chromatography of Spinach Leaves Discussion: The chromatography of the spinach leaves was taken to establish what pigments were present in the chloroplasts of the leaves. The solvent carried and separated the different pigments up the cellulose paper. The solvent moved up the paper because of capillary action because of adhesion of the solvent molecules and the paper. The pigments dissolved in the solvent also were carried up the paper and were separated because they do not all dissolve

------------------------------------------------- Definition Esters are chemical compounds consisting of a carbonyl adjacent to an ether linkage. They are derived by reacting an oxo acid with a hydroxyl compound such as an alcohol or phenol. Esters are usually derived from an inorganic acid or organic acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O-alkyl (alkoxy) group‚ and most commonly from carboxylic acids and alcohols. That is‚ esters are formed by condensing an acid with
