The waiter tears the raised part
of the straw wrapper a few inches from either end and he pulls until a piece of
the wrapper is entirely removed. The exposed part of the straw is what is then
placed in the drink, leaving the remaining wrapper for the customer to remove
himself. This will assure the customer that the waiter has not touched the straw
with bare hands. The part of the straw that has remained is called a straw
lace, or a drinking straw sleeve or a strawphylactic.
Explanation:
Before a chemical reaction, the elements and compounds which are about to take part in the reaction are known as reactants.
And, when the chemical reaction takes place between the given elements and compounds then they change into products.
For example, we take sodium and chlorine elements and before any chemical reaction they are the reactants.
But when a chemical reaction takes place between sodium and chlorine then it results into the formation of sodium chloride which is the product.
Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water.
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.
