Effect of Sodium Hydroxyde (NaOH) and Sodium Hypochlorite (NaHClO) on Morphology and Mineral Concentration of Zea mays Hairs (cornsilk)

Prehistoric and ancient civilizations have long relied on dietary minerals in the prevention of diseases. Major minerals serve as structural components of tissues, function in cellular and basal metabolism, and in water and acid-base balance. This study is discussing on the effect of NaOH and NaHClO...
