Genetically Modified Organism is the purpose to improve or correction of defects‚ by changing one’s genetic make up and adjusting the DNA ("Animal Biotechnology | Bioscience Topics | About Bioscience"‚ 2006). This type of technology has been experimented on what is called the Enviropig‚ invented which manupilates the genes to help produce less phosphorus in its manure‚ this is more efficiently than conventional Yorkshire pigs. The feces from the Yorkshire pigs were discovered that it contained large

Genetically Modified Organisms are Harmful For the past 25 years the United States has been putting their people in harm’s way. They have been doing this by allowing government agencies to grow and sell genetically modified foods and organisms to the public without informing them of what they’re consuming (2011 responsibletechnology.org). Most people do not know that a large quantity of the foods they are eating are not natural and are actually mutations of real healthy foods that take tons of chemicals

All-in-1 is a company that have been selling macronutrient products for the past 6 years‚ and recently they’ve been getting accused of that they have not included the important macronutrients in one of their products; the meal replacement drink. The nutra-chek company‚ takes samples of food products into their labs to test for macronutrients in the samples. The purpose of this lab is to test for four macronutrients: Monosaccharides‚ starches‚ proteins and fats. The results of this lab will determine

Is genetic engineering the answer to ending global hunger? SCI 207 March 23‚ 2013 Hunger is one of the root causes to poverty due to the exponential growth of the human population. The effects of hunger are diverse and have a negative effect on the growth and life span of a person. Scientists believe that they can help alleviate hunger problems through alteration and modification of genes in foods. The research in this paper will give the pros and cons of GM foods and help answer the following

With the rise of many meal replacement drinks‚ there has yet to be any research into their effect on the human gut microbiome. The most extreme version of these replacement drink is a product called Soylent‚ which has all the needed vitamins and calories to be a complete food replacement. Previous studies have shown that a switch in diet can cause changes within the microbiome in as little as a single meal. While the proper nutrients are still present within these drinks‚ there could be unknown effects

The night of the Open Door event was a campus-wide event‚ but I mostly went to the Frankenstein exhibit and the engineering events. Two different concepts in the Frankenstein exhibit stood out to me. What first stood out to me was the project where Myoglobin which is a protein that is normally found in meat being engineered into an edible plant-based one such as a tomato in the example used in the exhibit. The second concept that stood out to me was growing human skin which is understandable‚ but

Jared Diamond is… interesting. The argument that Jared Diamond makes in his article‚ “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race”‚ is completely refutable. There is very little evidence in the article that makes sense‚ and most of it appears to be that Diamond just has a grudge against the laziness of the modern world. This is where Diamond and I agree. The modern world is incredibly lazy. We now live in a world where fast food is a food group‚ and technology is being used incorrectly‚ resulting

The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether Smeddy the Wolverine was carrying either an illegal substance or was truly carrying a harmless‚ cooking ingredient‚ by comparing the physical and chemical properties of different cooking ingredients. During the experiment‚ four different substances (cooking ingredients) were tested on‚ plus the substance on Smeddy‚ with three different liquids. The five substances tested on were baking powder‚ baking soda‚ cornstarch‚ sugar‚ and Unknown A (the

In 1794‚ Eli Whitney invented a simple machine called the cotton gin. The main purpose of this machine was to automatically separate the cotton fibers from the seeds. Similar machines already existed for long-staple cotton‚ but they did not work with short-staple cotton. The basic concept was the same‚ using brushes to separate the two parts of the cotton. Whitney’s design‚ however‚ used spiked teeth to pull the fibers from the seed more effectively than previous machines. Whitney’s cotton gin only
