Examples of volatile liquids include:

• Alcohol (e.g., ethanol, isopropanol)
• Acetone
• Gasoline
• Perfumes
• Essential oils

Explanation

Overcooking can lead to a reduction in the nutritional value of food.

It especially water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins.

As they can be lost in the cooking water or destroyed by heat.

Explanation

SGOT (Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase) and AST (Aspartate Transaminase) are enzymes found in the liver.

Elevated levels of SGOT/AST in the blood indicate liver damage or inflammation, which can be a sign of:

• Hepatitis (liver inflammation)
• Liver cirrhosis
• Liver cancer
• Liver damage due to drugs or toxins

Explanation

The ozone layer protects living things from too much ultraviolet  from entering the atomsphere.

Oxygen layer in the atmosphere

Ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun.

Ozone formula: O3

The ozone layer lies approximately 15-40 kilometers (10-25 miles) above the Earth's surface, in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer is depleting: Air pollution

Explanation

The most serious environmental effect posed by hazardous wastes is Contamination of Groundwater.

Toxic substances from hazardous waste can seep into the soil and contaminate underground water sources.

It affecting ecosystems and human health.

Explanation

Ostriches, like some other birds, eat pebbles and small stones to help with digestion. 

They swallow these pebbles, which then accumulate in their gizzard, a muscular organ in the digestive system.

The pebbles help grind up the food.

It especially tough plant material, in the gizzard, making it easier to digest.

This process is called "grit digestion".
