For example, in the Dutch Golden Age period, the Dutch artist Pieter Claesz painted a vanitas still life, oil on canvas artwork…

like the dry spices and this also helped break up the chemicals. Once all of the fresh and dry spices were measured, the fresh spices would need to be put in a mortar with 6mL of distilled water and then mixed with the pestle. This was done in order to get a more potent extract from the fresh spices. The dry spices also got put in the mortar with the 6mL of water and mixed until it was a liquid based combination. The solution then would sit a week in order to allow the chemicals in the spice to…

Mycelial discs (5 mm diameter) were inoculated in potato dextrose broth as above and incubated at 28+1°C for 7 days. The mycelial inoculum of M. phaseolina was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes. Supernatant was decanted and pellets were washed and re-suspended in sterile distilled water. At 15th days after sowing, the soil was inoculated in Set-II by drenching the soil near plant roots. On 8th day ten seedlings from three replicates were chosen randomly for measurements of shoot and root…

Equally important for the colonists to survive was to learn how to use available resources and ingredients. The first colonists relied on the supplies they brought. The colonists brought plants and seeds from England, but they had a hard time getting them to grow. The Native Americans came to the colonist rescue. If not for the American Indians showing the colonist native plants and how to cook them along with planting and harvesting them, the colonist would have all died. The colonists came…

Baba Yaga is a mythological figure from Russian folktales. She lives in a house that moves around on the long legs of a chicken.

Afterwards, the cauliflower, along with five grams of cold purified sand and forty milligrams of cold mannitol, were added to a cold mortar and ground with a pestle. The ground mixture is then filtered through four layers of cheese cloth. The light-brown liquid filtrate is accumulated in a beaker before it is placed into a 50ml centrifuge tube. After the tubes are balanced by weight, they are placed…

ideal fruit for DNA extraction. Frozen strawberries are ideal because the ice in the intracellular fluid causes the cell to lyse and expand, destroying the cell and nucleus membrane of the cell. Strawberries are soft and easy to crush using a mortar and pestle. The purpose of pulverizing the strawberries is to destroy the plants cell wall. The cell wall is made up of cellulose, a hard insoluble material that is tough and rigid to protect cells. Physical force was required to break the cell wall…

goods and using slaves for labor. The Han dynasty highly valued technology and innovation because they depended on technology for efficiency of their empire. This is supported in document 3 in which it discusses the mythical invention of the mortar and pestle and improvements of technology efficient. Document 1 is a Han government official’s suggestion for “water conservation offices” to be…

materials were gathered for the experiment: mortar and pestle, 50 mL titration burette, clamp stand, 250 mL beaker, 100 mL volumetric flask, filter paper, 10 mL bulb pipette, and five 50 mL beakers. After the titration burette was set up in the clamp stand, 50 mL sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with a concentration of 0.25 M was poured into the titration burette. The weight of the Gelusil tablet in the original form (whole) was recorded (1.41 grams). A mortar and pestle was used to crush the Gelusil…
