1. Give examples of plant responses that are normally associated with animals. In the words of Dr., Hilker “They respond to tactile cues, they recognize different wavelengths of light, they listen to chemical signals, they can even talk through chemical signals. Touch, sight, hearing, speech. These are sensory modalities and abilities we normally think of as only being in animals,” 2. Describe the response of plants to the deposition of insect egg Once a plant has detected an insect, laying…

1. Crisp Chicken Wings Chicken Wings are packed with niacin, selenium and protein actually offer up to 40 percent of calories from protein. In a wing The downside is that, because the wings are usually served with rich sauces calories also end higher in sodium and calories from cholesterol. They provide little benefit from vitamins and virtually no carbohydrates. Improved nutritional benefits, the chicken wings and minimizing bake or grill into. Preparation Time: 20 min Cooking Time: 2 hr.45…

There are eleven different types of species of these types of mammals. All skunks do have a stripe running from their forehead to the end of their tail. Skunks usually spray predators with their gross smell for them to go away. Some people wonder if the skunks can actually smell their own smell. The answer is yes. From some resources, some skunks are nose blind and others are not. The skunks who are not nose blind tend to either sneeze or dig their noses in the ground to not smell their spray.…

Food Chains How is it possible that the person who picks the fruits and vegetables so people can eat their meal, cannot afford theirs? Food Chains is a movie created to make an impact in the way society perceives migrant workers, and it surely made an impact on me. It’s amazing how far they will go just to earn one more cent per pound, in the tomatoes they pick. In this movie, a group of migrant workers decided to do something to get listened, a hunger strike. They were tired of not earning…

- Genetically modified organisms (GMO’s), are organisms that have had their genetic material altered in a way that is not classified as naturally occurring (mating or natural recombination), but has been the result of human intervention. - Concerns have immerged about the possible side effects that GM crops will have on our environment and the human body after consumption, as well as the possibility of economic distress. - The introduction of GM crops could theoretically solve hunger crisis in…

genetically engineered foods had to be labeled. There are many arguments regarding the pros and cons within this process but who is really right? History Genetically Engineered foods started with tomatoes in 1994. This production (The Flavr Savr Tomato) was made by the Californian Company Calgene, to take care of the issue with tomatoes softening quickly. (Genetically modified tomatoes, n.d.) To accomplish this goal, scientist had to insert a gene or reduce an already…

genetically modified to produce their own insecticide, they had a tendency to develop abnormal cell growth in their intestines. They also found that it inhibited the growth of reproductive organs and immune health. When rats were fed the “Flavr Savr” tomato puree for thirty days, many developed stomach bleeds and others died. More than twenty farmers in North America have noticed that their cows and pigs have been having problems with fertilization. This has been noticed in both males and…

pink beans. They are prepared in a casserole with “sofrito”, tomato sauce and spices. In order to give the beans just a bit more flavor and texture; it is added stew pumpkins, potatoes and even banana balls into the casserole. For the most part it is served with beans, but when the beans are missing, the rice can be mixed with a broth of meat. Stewed rice, arroz guisado, is cooked in a stew consisting of “sofrito”, seasoning and tomato sauce. When the rice dries it absorbs these rich flavors and…

the early 1990s when a California company by the name of Clage created a tomato called Flavor Svr. This tomato was designed to ripen without softening. This was done to help with the shipping issue where tomatoes were picked when they were green and artificially ripened during shipping. The modification Clage created allowed the tomatoes to stay firm from when they were picked to when they arrive at the stores. This tomato had the genetic code changed and then became the first commercial GMO…

Genetically Modified Food Every human being requires food in order to stay alive. The food provides the body with the forces it needs to keep the heart beating, the limbs moving, and the lungs breathing. However, during the last century, scientists have been working in laboratories to create a new kind of food. This type of food is called genetically modified food. Genetically modified food comes from plants that have been altered in laboratories. This technology can be accomplished by moving…
