It all begins within the walls of the castle in the Kingdom of Dor, with the birth of a mouse. The mouse is the last of his parent's litter. Certain he will die too, his mother, Antoinette Tilling, names him Despereaux, meaning sadness and despair. Unlike most mice, Despereaux is born with his eyes open. However, Despereaux lives, although his tiny size and unusually large ears are a constant concern among the castle mice. Even worse, Despereaux seems uninterested in normal mouse…

minutes. Sweet Pea Salad is an old recipe featuring the bright flavor of fresh peas. Celery, cucumber, sweet pickles, hard-cooked eggs and walnuts are the remaining ingredients. A note with the recipe said the young children enjoyed shelling the…

In conclusion, various temperature levels do affect the glucose concentration level, of alpha-galactosidase, which is a product of Beano. The higher levels were actually found in the lower temperatures. Temperatures that were at 40, and 50 degrees Celsius had the highest glucose concentration levels at 25 minutes, which was 2.00%, while other temperatures such as 80 and 90 degrees Celsius were at 0.00% at 25 minutes, which is a major difference. However 30 and 70 degrees Celsius had a steady…

to due to previous experiments being too short. Gregor did an experiment where he crossed bred many different pea plants over the course of 10 years (1856-1863). To prove whether or not the theory was true. After the experiment…

seven characteristics of a pea plant to learn more. He observed that the green pea plants were recessive (meaning less likely of the genes) and the yellow pea plants were dominant (meaning common). It’s the same thing with your eye color or hair color you are more likely to have brown hair brown eyes than blonde hair blue eyes because the color brown is a dominant gene where the blonde and blue are recessive. Between 1856 and 1863 Mendel cultivated and tested 29,00 pea plants. His studies…

money and allows them to get more recognized. For example in the text "The New Necessity in the Music Business" it says "the Black Eyed Peas, focuses on exposure before a paycheck. For years, they’ve allowed corporations to use their music in advertisements for cars, electronics, and jeans, among many other goods." This shows that these artists "The Black Eyed Peas" wanted to be in the commercials to get more recognition and to have people become more familiar with there music. Also in the same…

There is much to be learned from analyzing Dorothea Lange’s photograph “Migrant Mother” and the article relating to it by Kevin Starr. The photograph shows a poor migrant family and how the conditions they have been living through have begun to wear them down. The article gives more personal information on the family, ones you wouldn’t have been able to get from the photo, like how the mother’s name was Florence Thompson and that, “...they had been living on frozen vegetables from surrounding…

Through math, he discovered how certain factors could control the trait or appearance a pea would have when producing offspring. Mendel, when conducting his experience, should have factored in the environment, as it is an important part to life. It has recently been studied that in the worm C. elegans, the environmental stress may cause trigger…

Chapter one, I discovered a commonly known New Year's tradition in my family actually originated from slavery. To emphasize, eating black-eyed peas and other related meals ensures a prosperous new year ahead in my family. However, black-eyed peas was in fact fed to enslaved africans to help them survive and sustain their fearsome voyage. Black-eyed peas symbolizes a form of luck. Correspondingly, I discovered the “Rice Culture” in the United States was based on the expertise from the people of…

For Mendel's studies it was important that his subjects, pea plants, could reproduce quickly and produce many offspring because he decided to study the seven traits of the pea plant but the main focus was on seed shape whether wrinkled or smooth.On pg. 1 paragraph 5 it gives this. This states why it was important that Mendel's subjects, pea plants, could reproduce quickly and produce many offspring. Though mendel did not want to be a monk, being a monk enabled his studies into inheritance, I…
