changing society. Fast food‚ for example‚ has grown exponentially over the past half century. By contrast‚ traditional foods such as rice remain a crucial part of food culture. Two essays that highlight this contrast are Seanon Wong’s “Noodles vs. Sesame Seed Buns” and Julie Dash’s “Rice Culture.” Wong’s essay illustrates the significance of fast food‚ whereas Dash’s essay discusses traditional cooking methods. While both authors talk about food and cultural traditions‚ Dash uses an informal voice to discuss

KERNELS AND SEED COATS ABSTRACT In all aerobic organisms‚ production of free radical is balanced by antioxidant defense system. Antioxidants are very important in terms of preventing oxidative stress that may lead to several degenerative diseases. Studies have been done on the sky fruit leaves‚ bark and seeds and they were reported to have many medicinal value. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant properties of sky fruit kernel and sky fruit seed coat. The seeds of the sky

(brittle bush) on desert native annuals and non-native seed germination. The experiment was set up by putting native wild flower seeds in six Petri dishes and lettuce seeds in six different dishes. To three of each dish containing the different seeds‚ water was added as a control. To the three other dishes‚ a prepared brittle bush tea (filtered ground brittle bush leaves and water) was added. After a week’s time‚ the number of germinated seeds in each dish was counted. The results showed that the

This is Mendel¡¦s First Law-the Law of Segregation. This experiment investigated the effects of complete and incomplete dominance on the behavior of two different genes for chlorophyll production in tobacco. Two sets of approximately 50-100 tobacco seeds were planted for one week. The plants were the F2 result of two sets of monohybrid F1 crosses Gg x Gg and CyCg x CyCg. A chromosome for these plants has two sets of genes. The gene at one locus has two alleles that code for normal chlorophyll production

are allelon which means "of each other"‚ and pathos which means "to suffer". Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another. The "inhibitory" chemical is released into the environment where it affects the development and growth of neighboring plants.” (Ref 1) Introduction: Have you ever wondered why certain plants do not grow around others? This phenomenon can be caused due to Allelopathy‚ or chemical inhibition. Allelopathic plants will produce phytotoxic compounds

Do Radish Seedlings Produce Allelopathic Chemicals? Do you ever feel that you need your own space? When you feel you want to get away from other people‚ you can walk away or leave the room. Plants and trees need their own space in order to obtain sufficient amounts of nutrients from the soil and sunlight. Plants‚ of course‚ are unable to move away. However‚ some plants use chemicals to keep other plants from growing too close. This process is called allelopathy. Some scientists believe that germinating
