As a child, the thoughts of how electricity powers everything from a toaster to our own brain sparked my interest in electrical engineering. The thoughts of creating light from a potato is unfathomable. I have burnt myself countless of times trying to connect batteries and other sources of power together and never accounting for over-voltage and grounding.

The purpose of the Benedict’s test was to identify if the food samples and unknowns contained simple sugars. In the sugar, is a ketone or an aldehyde which will reduce copper (II) ions to copper (I) ions (Areda, 2017). This must be done by heating the food sample and Benedict’s solution. The copper will be oxidized resulting in a brown-orange color (Areda, 2017). Thus, if a sample is positive for simple sugars the color will change from a light blue to colors of green, yellow, orange, brown or…

Comparative Analysis of Plant Genome – An Overview Introduction Comparative genomics is used to study the similarities and differences in the structure and function of genome in living organisms. In the medical field, this information can help scientist to better understand the human genome. This allows them to develop new strategies to combat human disease. Comparative genomics is also a powerful tool to study the evolutionary relationship among organisms. We are able to identify genes that…

Should Genetically Modified Foods be Labelled in Canada? Currently, 64 countries around the world, which does not include the United States or Canada, are required to label all genetically modified foods. These countries have created laws in order to command the labelling of GM foods due to the concerns of the public (Labelling Around the World 103).
