Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. Hemoglobin also plays an important role in maintaining the shape of the red blood cells.

· When peeling the skin of vegetables do peel as thinly as possible.
· The nutrients in vegetables and fruits are concentrated just below the skin, so peeling before boiling increases the loss of Vitamin C, Folic Acid and other B vitamins. The peels of carrot, radish, gourd and ginger can be scraped instead of peeling. Peel only when absolutely necessary.
· Do not cut vegetables into very small cubes as each small part comes in contact with oxygen, destroying vitamins.
· Do not soak vegetables in water to prevent discoloration. Almost 40 % of the water soluble vitamins and minerals are lost in the soaking water. If you must soak, use up the soaking water to knead dough, prepare soups and gravies.
· Root vegetables should be boiled with skins on and then peeled after boiling. This helps the nutrients to migrate to the center of the vegetables, helping better retention of its nutrients. Do eat with skin on whenever possible.
· Certain amount of minerals and vitamins are lost even during preliminary washing before cooking. Washing may remove as much as 40% of the thiamine and nicotinic acid. Thats why it is preferable to wash rice with minimum amount of water.
· Salads should be prepared just before serving and should be served in closed dishes to avoid excessive exposure to air.
· Do not keep milk open or exposed to light, as considerable destruction of riboflavin can occur.
· Baking soda makes cooking water alkaline and thus helps retain the color of vegetables as well as speed up the cooking process, BUT it destroys thiamin and vitamin C.

- Provide support and ventilation.
- Absorbs water and transfers body perspiration away from the skin.

The various steps to obtain wool are:
(i) Shearing: First of all the fleece of the sheep along with thin layer of skin is removed from its body. This process is called shearing.
(ii) Scouring: The sheared skin with hair is washed in tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt. This process is called scouring.
(iii) Sorting: After scouring, sorting is done. The hairy skin is sent to a factory where hair of different textures are separated or sorted.
(iv) The small fluffy fibres called burrs, are picked out from the hair. The fibres are scoured again and again and dried.
(v) Fibres can be dyed in various colours, as the natural fleece of sheep and goats is black, brown or white.
(vi) The fibres are straightened, combed and rolled into yarn. The longer fibres are made into wool for sweaters and the shorter fibres are spun and woven into woolen cloth.

Jute fiber is obtained from the stem of the jute plant. It is cultivated in rainy season. Jute is grown in alluvial soil which is found usually in the Delta Region of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. In India, jute is mainly grown in west Bengal, Bihar and Assam. Jute plants are about 2.5 to 3.5 meter in height. It bears yellow flowers in 3 to 4 months. Jute plants are usually cut at the flowering stage. A good quality fiber is obtained from plants which are cut at the flowering stage. After falling of dry leaves bundles of dry plants are kept in a pond for a few days. In this period the gummy skin rots out to separate the fibre. This process is called retting.
