Molecule
Monocot - One of two main divisions of flowering plants (the other being dicots), characterized by having a single cotyledon (seed leaf); examples include grasses, orchids, bamboos, and palms.
molecule A chemically bonded group of atoms.
molt The shedding of an insect's outer covering during growth. The form assumed between molts is called an instar.
Humus molecules bind these nutrients into chemical complexes in a process called chelation, which keeps them from washing away but makes them readily usable by plants and microbes.
For every molecule of protein in the human body, there are 10,000 water molecules, more water than is needed for each cell, or that can be dealt with at one time.
The attachment of molecules or ions to outer surfaces or interfaces. See also: absorption.

The molecules are packed tightly together, and the air is heavy. It is so heavy that it flows downhill and, like water, pools in low places. The temperature in a valley may be as much as 18° lower than the temperature on the adjoining slope.
Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule and helps give the lawn its deep green color. Nitrogen also tends to promote high leaf growth rates at the expense of root growth.
Researchers found that scent molecules could travel up to 1200 meters in the 1800s. However, with pollution, today's scent molecules travel only 200 meters.
Antioxidant is a nutrition term that refers to substances that protect your body's cells from damage caused by unstable molecules.
Microorganisms can only utilize organic molecules that are dissolved in water. The optimum moisture content for a compost pile should range from 40 to 60 percent. If there is less than 40 percent moisture, bacteria slow down and may become dormant.
Non-toxic and all natural, LazyMan Liquid Gold's polymers penetrate hard soil and alternately attract or repel water molecules, opening pathways to allow free passage of moisture and nutrients.
Soil pH is a measurement of one aspect of the soil's chemical composition: the concentration of hydrogen ions (an ion is an electrically charged atom or molecule).
Chlorophyll A group of green molecules used to convert light to energy.
Chlorosis The yellowing of plant tissue due to nutrient deficiencies or disease.
Chromosome A unit of heredity material in all living cells.
Acid rain-Rain containing droplets of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, formed when water molecules combine with gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx)in the atmosphere and fall to Earth.
organic. A material (e.g. pesticide) whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Also may refer to plants or animals which are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Capillary action: when the surface of a liquid is in conact with a solid, the liquid is elevated or depressed depending upon the relative attraction of the molecules of the liquid for each other or for those of the solid.
molecules ... shaped a bit like the claws of a crab. They can envelop metal atoms on the surface of an object, trapping them and removing them. Molasses owes its properties to cyclic hydroxamic acids which are powerful chelators of iron.
Freezers come in a variety of styles, but the general purpose of all freezers is to store perishable foods for an extended period of time. Freezers absorb heat so that the movement of molecules in your food slows down, ...
protect the pond by covering it with a sheet of polyfilm the size of the water feature and leave it there for half an hour or so after you spray. Turn off any fountains before you spray because the water will pick up all the highly volatile molecules ...
