However, Adoki stated that yeast grows best in an acidic pH level by testing oranges, plantains, and bananas (2008). Future researchers could follow up on our experiment by exchanging another basic solution such as bleach instead of baking soda, so that they could more accurately measure the yeast growth and CO2…

At the stream bank she sets out their drear picnic, which is only dense, crumbling bread daubed with crushed peanuts and slices of bitter plantain. After months of modest hunger the children now forget to complain about food. Silently they swallow, shake off the crumbs, and drift downstream for a swim in faster water.

The rich cultures have essential parts that define it which are the infrastructure, social organization, and superstructure. The Aztecs…
