Battery cages How have the demands of consumers influenced the way farmers manage their egg industry in Australia? Battery cages are cages in which farmers use in the egg industry to house hens. Around 8 to 10 hens are confined in the space about the size of a cabinet drawer. The eggs are laid onto wire cage floors and roll to the front of the cage for collection. Battery cages are stacked in rows on top of each other‚ so within a single building‚ hundreds of thousands of birds are housed. The

diffusion I will be using potato discs‚ of the same size and mass‚ in different concentrations of sugar solution to find out whether the mass of the discs increases or decreases depending on the concentration. I predict that when the sugar solution is 0% the mass will increase as there is less sugar in the water than in the potato. The water will then travel through a partly permeable membrane into the potato from outside. When the sugar solution is 20% the mass of the potato will decrease as there

hens produce a very high yield of around 300 eggs a year. Chickens will naturally live for 6 or more years but after 12 months‚ the hen’s productivity will start to decline. This is when most commercial laying hens are slaughtered. BATTERY CAGES In Europe‚ a battery cage typically holds 4 or 5 hens with a legal space allowance per bird of less than an A4 sheet of paper. The height of the cage is only just enough to allow the hen to stand upright. In the US‚ the space allowance per hen is even lower

SIMULATION FOREGROUND READING Back Bay Battery‚ Inc. Overview The battery industry is enormous‚ with worldwide revenues of approximately $45 billion. It is highly fragmented with at least 20 major manufacturers in each technology segment. Because of the wide range of applications of batteries‚ companies have tended to specialize in a particular technology or market application. Disposable batteries‚ such as the widely available carbon-zinc and alkaline cells‚ are available in standard sizes

The Art of the Conclusion The conclusion of an essay should establish a sense of closure or completeness that leaves the reader with lingering thoughts about the topic. Each writer has their own approach in composing a conclusion that they feel solidifies their argument; every approach makes different demands of a reader because of the moves the writer chooses to make.

foam that can be measured. ANALYSIS QUESTIONS 1. a) Describe the effect of damaging the potato on the catalase activity. With the increased level of damage to the potato‚ there appeared to be more activity within the reaction between the catalase and the H2O2. b) Explain at the cell level why crushing or macerating the potato has this effect. When you crush or macerate the potato‚ you are breaking the cell walls of each individual cell. Once this happens‚ the catalase is

BATTERIES What is a battery? A battery is a container consisting of one or more cells carrying an electric charge and used as a source of power. SECONDARY BATTERIES * rechargeable * high cost (short-term) low cost (long-term) * used in objects with high energy requirements: e.g. mobile phones‚ power tools * require special handling‚ containment & disposal * limited interchangeability * long life time * produce smaller amount of waste (flat discharge curve)

Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell is
