Osmosis Research Question What will happen to the length and mass of the potato when it is put in water and different concentrations of salt? Introduction Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration of water molecules (through a partially permeable membrane). If the cell is placed in a higher water potential, water enters by osmosis and if the cell is placed in lower water potential, then the water leaves the cell by osmosis. The…

In 1538, this area was found by the Spanish and called New Granada. This remained the areas official name for around three more centuries. This country is very diverse in geography from jungles to mountain ranges and huge plateaus. The country is not land locked, but it is bordered by four other countries- Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador (Infoplease). The Republic of Colombia has a republic based government with three branches similar to the United States. The Executive branch…

Introduction In 1845, Ireland was struck by a massive famine, which many called the Irish Potato Famine or the Great Irish Famine. This incident was considered one of the darkest and hardest period of the Irish history. Unfortunately, this event caused between 500,000 to 1 million deaths and ruined the land and crops of many farmers. The famine reached its peak in 1847 and during that year, about 300,000 people left Ireland and went to install themselves in other countries which included Canada.…

According to the Constitutional Rights Foundation, “more than half of the Irish people depended on the potato as the main part of their diet, and almost 40 percent had a diet consisting of entirely potatoes…if the potato crop failed, there was nothing to replace it.” It was in the summer of 1845 that the first sign of trouble occurred. The crop seemed to be flourishing, but when the potatoes were being harvested…

be using potatoes. Potatoes are members of the family Solanaceae. Solanaceous plants originated in the new world, and the potato and its relatives were first introduced to Europe in the 16th century. The edible part of a potato, the tuber, is derived from the potato stem. It is rich is starch and has some protein just under the skin. These nutrients are stored in the potato and are intended by the plant to be used for supplying energy and raw materials for new plant growth (Schultz 2006).…

fries, Hash browns, Vodka, these are just some of the fantastic uses for potatoes. The Potato is a fantastic starch and a very versatile vegetable. Where did they come from? Where are they Grown? How do we store and eat them? These are just some topics I will be discussing in this paper. Staring with the history we will find where and when the first potatoes had been farmed and cultivated. The history of the potato begins in the high Andes Mountains of South America at elevations often…

Midterm 1. Alternative crops are crucial to changing the unhealthy dieting habits of modern culture as the reliance on calorie rich crops rise. The world is shifting its agricultural focus to crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans while crops like sweet potato, cassava and yam are declining in numbers (Parker, 2014). With such a limited number of crops being relied on to provide most dietary nutrition, those crops have to be specifically bred and genetically modified to keep up with the…

water potentials are different because the two cells do not consist of the same amount of solute. The concentration of the white potato cell was approximately .23 M of sucrose, while the sweet potato was .59 M of sucrose. While a white potato consists of some sucrose, the sweet potato consists of .36 M more. When both were placed in a 1.0 M sucrose condition, the sweet potato lost only 2.19 grams while the white lost 5.82 because since the white had less concentration of sucrose, it required…

Sustainable Consumption: French fries The article, “Study Sheds Light on Broadening U.S. Hunger Problem” was very interesting to read. I am thankful for programs that help people out when they are in need for food because sometimes I have to get help from their services. I would always wonder why most healthy foods were for a higher price than unhealthy foods; I believe that is why most people are having a hard time getting rid of fat. Maybe stores should have discounts on items for college…
