Stomatal Density Report The purpose of our first experiment was to learn about the importance of stomata physiology for plants, and test a hypothesis regarding stomatal density. Stomata are vital to plant function because they let the plant take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release water vapor. Stomata are surrounded by two guard cells that help them open and close in response to their environment. We were given the choice to test either the null hypothesis or the alternate…

GM crop, becoming resistant to the pesticides. Based on Brandon Keim’s article, farmers had found rootworms that are resistant to pesticide. Rootworm feed on roots of plants, causing damage to crops, results loss for farmers. Furthermore, GMO harms the environment by contaminating nearby aquatic life. Genetically modified crops’ toxic characteristics can kill off aquatic insects. Steve Hinnefeld stated in his article, “Aquatic insects that are related to the pests [are] targeted by the pesticide…

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is a standout amongst the most essential issues from around the globe. GMOs are extraordinary living beings in which the hereditary material has been adjusted for development profitability and item quality. GMOs have raised worries over their own particular useful in that they are impervious to malady, help people experiencing starvation, produce more noteworthy yields, and enhance the nourishment of sustenances. Having nourishments is imperative to human life…

I am a firm believer that DDT and other pesticides should be banned worldwide to prevent contamination of our environment and foods. DDT was a commonly used as a pesticide for insect control in the United States until it was canceled in 1972 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (1). Even though DDT is banned in the United States it continues to be manufactured, but it can only be sold to, or used by, foreign countries. In the U.S. the only exceptions for DDT use are for public…

Do The Pros of GMO’s outweigh the Cons? Since the introduction on the genetically modified organism in the mid to late 1990’s many people have debated on their economic and environmental impact, as well as their safety for human consumption. Many companies like Monsanto and Dow Agro-science that produce these bioengineered foods have conducted research on the topics of environmental and economic benefits as well as the safety of GMO foods. The results of the studies conclude that genetically…

Can You Really Create the Perfect Crop? To what extents are people willing to go, what are they willing to sacrifice for a “perfect crop”. In the last fifty years a new technology has emerged it focuses on GMO’s.”GMO 's (or “genetically modified organisms”) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering” (GMO). This topic has been controversial since its debut and many pros and cons are repeatedly brought forth. At…

is they do not consume the necessary nutrition to keep them healthy. With GM foods then more nutritious foods come forth. A Swiss research for instance led to the creation of rice stains that poses large quantities of beta-carotene as well as iron that can be able to counteract the Iron and vitamin A deficiencies in most rice strains. It’s also for this same reason that researchers at the European funded FLORA project have created strains of fruits and vegetables as well that have an enhanced…

GM Foods Are Risky “What are GMO’s?” is one question the public should be asking. Most foods people consume on a daily basis consist of at least one GMO ingredient. Genetically modified organisms are foods that have been altered in a science lab and have been manipulated into resisting threats, such as pesticides (Roundup Ready) and certain weather. Scientists do genetic engineering, in which DNA is taken from another organism and placed into the crop they want altered. GMOs are harming people…

The revolution I chose to discuss out of the two was the Neolithic Revolution. Two archaeological theories I best chose on why these Revolutions occurred through change over time was, V. Gordon Chlide's "Oasis theory" and the "Edge zone theory" by Lewis Binford and Kent Flannery. These two theories show the possible reasons for adopting farming and domesticating animals where and why they did. For example, in Chlide's "Oasis theroy" he tells us that he believed the period of dry weather in…

You have been eating food your entire life. You go to the supermarket, get your vegetables, your fruit, your bread, and take them home to eat, but most of you have been unaware that you could have been poisoning yourself all these years. There is a need to ban synthetic chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticides are linked to a wide range of health problems. There are short term health problems like headaches and vomiting, and there are life altering long term effects such as hormonal problems…
