Recycling Process and Benefits

The document discusses recycling and how it works. Recycling involves collecting, processing, and reusing materials that would otherwise be thrown away, like precious metals, glass, paper, and plastic. The recycling process reclaims these materials and uses them to make new products, which generally costs less and requires less energy than using new raw materials. Recycling can also help reduce pollution. Common paper products that can be recycled include cardboard, wrapping paper, and office paper, with newspapers being the most commonly recycled paper item.

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown

away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new
products. In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less
energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the
demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced
during the manufacturing process. Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard
containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is
newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants
such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed
with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The
pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat
where the ink separates from the paper fibers and floats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off,
dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers
to be made into paper again. Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of
wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft)
of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce
paper). Question: the following things can be recycled, Except . . .

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva
contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily. From the mouth,
food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed
with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the
small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and
moving the food onwards. In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed
by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the
bloodstream. Question: What is the text about?

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing
world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating. Chocolate starts with a tree
called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South
America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine
apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans. The beans are fermented
for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker
starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have
different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.
Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from
its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid
is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans
are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid.
It’s pure bitter chocolate. Question; The text is about …

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It


is the chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green
plants use energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other
chemical compounds. How is the light used in photosynthesis?The light used in photosynthesis is
absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making cell in a plant leaf contains
chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes water drawn
form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen. What are the steps of photosynthesis process?
Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series of complicated steps, the hydrogen
combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar. Oxygen from the water
molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur, and phosporus
from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds
essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these
compounds. Question: What step after the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air

The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the
tongue. There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just
mixtures of two or more of these main types. The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen
thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the
so-called ‘tastes messages. When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-
buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware
of the taste. All this happens in just a few seconds. There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of
which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the
tongue. The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along
its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter
taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the
tongue. The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not
smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all. Very hot or cold
sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when placed in
the mouth, will have no tastes at all. Question; We can taste any kind of food because of ……..
