To the informed reader‚ it is known that the Onion is a news website in which satirical articles are written about local and national events‚ however‚ this satire can sometimes be missed due to the nature of the article and its presentation of information. Due to how the article is written in the fashion of an actual news article it creates the appearance of actual news and could be seen as such if the satire is missed. With the articles use of quotations and the appearance of fact it gives the tone

MONOLOGUE FOR AN ONION: AN ANALYSIS Cutting an onion breaks cells in its skin causing a reaction that results to the formation of volatile sulfur compound which‚ when mixed with tears coating our eyes‚ becomes sulfuric acid. This triggers the tear ducts to produce more tears to alleviate the imbalance in acidity the irritant has caused; the longer the eyes are exposed to the acid the greater the quantity of tears produced. Sue Kwock Kim uses this certain property of an onion to tackle a specific

different concentrations of sucrose solutions have an effect on the final weight for the potato tubers?” In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber cores by submersing different potato cores into sucrose solutions of 0.0-0.6M‚ and weighing the potato. The results showed the weight of the potato tubers had the highest percent change in weight meaning that they weighed more than the initial weight in sucrose solutions from 0.0-0.3M; it also showed that sucrose concentrations from 0.4-0

Urbina Post Harvesting Onion Basic Storage & Handling Tips for Dry Bulb Onions: Always handle onions with care. Do not drop onions as this often causes bruising and internal decay. Bagged or boxed onions should be stored at least one foot away from walls and other pallets to allow proper air movement. Keep stacks of bags or boxes at five feet or less. Store onions in a cool‚ dry‚ well-ventilated area. Maintain storage temperature of 45-55°F. Do not wrap onions in plastic or store in plastic

correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3). Graph three displays the correlation for the percent change in weight for a solution lacking AgNO3 in different sucrose solutions. The initial lengths of the

potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The phenomenon being investigated in the lab was how the concentration gradient affects the rate of osmosis in a cell. Osmosis is the passive movement of water from and area of high

When one wakes up in the morning with bad breath‚ do they rinse with mouthwash and say "it’s never been fresher?" The Onion is a website dedicated to writing about controversial topics with a twist of humor. One article in particular‚ "Girl Moved to Tears By ’Of Mice and Men’ Cliff Notes‚" preaches out about losing the meaning through all the shortcuts that younger generations seek. The youthful Grace Weaver was gripped by the retelling of the George Steinbeck classic‚ feeling this emotional connection

Extraction of DNA from an Onion Molecular biologists and biochemists are involved with research in finding out as much as possible about the DNA in plants. DNA was discovered in the 1950’s‚ there still remains a lot to be known about it‚ especially how it is used to determine the physical traits that we all have‚ and how it regulates the workings of the body. deoxyribonucleic acid is a chemical‚ we can do reactions with it just like we can work with any other chemical.

Effect of Sucrose Solution on Osmosis Aim: The aim of the experiment is to show how varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis by changing different molar solutions of sucrose and water and how it affects the potato. Introduction: In this investigation I will be exploring the effect of varying concentration of sucrose sugar solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially
