Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, describes organisms that have altered their genes through various methods of modifying DNA. These transgenic organisms are often thought to be unnatural because of the artificial process of transferring foreign genes into other organisms. GMOs can negatively impact multiple aspects of everyday life. This process can be harmful to the environment because of their excessive amount of herbicides required for these organisms and their contamination…

In Reinhard Renneberg’s article, “Golden rice can end world hunger,” he explains his ideas on the highly controversial topic of GMO Golden Rice. He begins the article by introducing the problem: 250 million children are suffering from provitamin A deficiency, which is important for resistance against infectious diseases. Renneberg’s solution is to use Golden Rice that is genetically modified containing maize DNA, which has provitamin A. He believes this to be a strong solution because rice is a…

Golden Girls was an NBC show written by Susan Harris. Golden Girls aired on Saturday nights with the idea that the show would raise their ratings and bring in an older demographic. NBC had a hard time fulfilling Saturday ratings until Golden Girls joined the line up. There are a total of 180 episodes.

Genetically Modified Organisms are one of the most controversial issues in the world today. GMOs are foods made from organisms that have specific change to its DNA through the process of genetically altering it to improvement the quality of the product. GMOs have raised concerns over whether there beneficial or harmful to our health. GMO foods have affected the world dramatically therefore, as humans we have the right to know how they seem to be. GMOs can pose a serious threat to our health if…

If you see someone hungry, would you feed them?Would you save your family, if they need help? I know you would if you are a good person.What if I told you I have the best food on the planet and I have lots of people to test it but, some say it's not good for humans. It was created in a lab and taste very good to me and it will be good to you too. GMO stands for “genetically modified organism”, which is a new organism, not found in nature, created by scientists when they genetically modify or…

Cosmetically perfect food, also known as genetically engineered food or GEF, are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally according to the World Health Organization. ("Food, Genetically Modified." WHO. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Nov. 2015. http://www.who.int/topics/food_genetically_modified/en/). It has led to the waste of aesthetically unappealing food as the trend of “perfect” food has grown. However, there are organizations now that…

Many might not acknowledge how much of an impact food has made in shaping the society in which we live. Another unknown detail is that the use of farming is very recent to our knowledge. Dating to about 11,000 years ago, farming has played a key role in the evolution of mankind. About 11,000 years ago humans started to cultivate food intentionally. This process of cultivating food is known as “farming” and it started taking hold in the Near Eastern part of the world at about 8,500 B.C.…

Andrew Yarwood, 33, is a fourth generation dairy farmer at Medhurst Green Farm in Congleton, Cheshire. He said, "Things are dire at the moment. We're getting 27p a litre, and our cost of production is 28p a litre, so we're making a loss. "That's not as bad as some - I heard of farmers getting 22p or 23p a litre over Christmas’’. "We've got 400 animals here, and I work 14 or 15 hour days. It's hard work, but we're not making profit, so really you're just a busy fool. "It's very depressing. You…

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…
