Whois & Analysis for encasabotanics.co.uk

Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology.

A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field.

The term "botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word (botanē) meaning "pasture", "grass", or "fodder"; is in turn derived from (boskein), "to feed" or "to graze".

Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress.

Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including ca 369,000 species of flowering plants), and ca 20,000 are bryophytes.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis.

It was discovered in 1940 and initially thought not to be pharmaceutically active.

It is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in hemp plants, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract.

Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.

Study of structure includes many physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and the chemical constitution of organic compounds and materials.

Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms.

The study of organic reactions includes probing their scope through use in preparation of target compounds (e.g., natural products, drugs, polymers, etc) by chemical synthesis, as well as the focused study of the reactivities of individual organic molecules, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.
