Potato chips are thin slices of potato that have been deep fried or baked until crunchy. Potato chips have a unique texture flavor combination, which makes them so desirable in market (Garayo, 2002). Potato chips can be grouped…

the final weight ranged from 6.28g to 8.05g. If we increase the sucrose solution concentration, the percentage weight of the potato will decrease. The result show that the solution is were hypertonic because it caused the cell to lose weight. This table show the data that we recorded. Sucrose Molarity 0% 1% 5% 10% 15% Initial…

In 1845, the Great Famine began, leaving an everlasting mark on the Irish people and the political landscape of their country. The potato crop, which sustained much of Ireland’s population, stopped growing, leading to mass starvation and the death of over a million people. In The Wonder by Emma Donoghue, Anna O’Donnell is born near the end of this national tragedy and survives, but later chooses to starve herself, much to the despair of her nurse Lib. Similarly, the movie Some Mother’s Son…

Many came to America with few skills besides cooking, cleaning, and they had just enough knowledge to work in factories. They constantly had to deal with bigotry and stereotypes.…

increases, the potato appearance, shape, and flexibility increase. The qualitative observations show the flexibility of each potato before and after the incubation. The initial observations for the potato slivers were slightly stiff and high in flexibility. After leaving the 10 mL sucrose concentration solution for 45 minutes, the results show an increase in appearance, and flexibility of each individual potato. The qualitative observations from the initial results show that the potato cells…

Potatoes, they may seem innocent but in 1845 a devastating potato blight occurred, killing an eighth of the entire Irish population. Although the blight itself destroyed the crops and left many Irish in sickness and starvation, the real killers of the Irish potato famine were the British.

Title: Alexandra Whitaker, Ms.Dayton, 12/23/16, 2.03 lab permeability Objective(s): The main purpose is to find out if plastic bags are permeable to starch and, or, iodine. Also, to find out wither potatoes are hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by testing the different amounts of sucrose solutions Introduction: The necessary background information needed for this lab is the definition of osmosis, diffusion, active transports, passive transports, permeability, concentration, tonicity, and to…
