Taking place in Ireland‚ the potato was a main food source for the poor‚ and from the 1830’s-1840’s the “Irish Lumper” potato was grown on a large scale. This particular potato‚ however was overcome by a disease called late blight. Eventually almost the entire potato crop had become diseased leaving behind infertile soil for new crops to grow. With no potatoes the people starved which then caused

Bangladesh has a primarily agrarian economy. Agriculture is the single largest producing sector of the economy since it comprises about 18.6% (data released on November‚ 2010) of the country’s GDP and employs around 45% of the total labor force. The performance of this sector has an overwhelming impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation‚ poverty alleviation‚ human resources development and food security (Wikipedia). 2012 was yet another year where farmers bagged another

One needs a total capital investment of approximately $180‚000 to $250‚000 which would include the initial franchise fee of $30‚000‚ royalty fee of 6%‚ and $5000 renewal fee during the 10 year term of agreement. One would also need $100‚000 to $125‚000 liquid capital for the initial startup and

wrote “It is remarkable that the same plant should be found on the sterile mountains of Central Chile‚ where a drop of rain does not fall for more than six months‚ and within the damp forests of the southern islands” (Chapaman). He was speaking of the potato‚ and its ability to adapt to a variety of climates‚ from the semiarid to the tropical wet. Potatoes also have high nutritional value. They supply every vitamin and mineral that a body needs except for vitamin A‚ vitamin D‚ and calcium (Chapaman).

test and get the most accurate results. My prediction is half correct. In some cases it is correct because the concentration is higher and the mass of the potato is lower‚ but in other cases the mass of the potato gets higher‚ which I did not predict. For example‚ on the 1st experiment at 2 and 4 concentrations the mass of the potato goes up and the same happens on the 2nd experiment at the 6% concentration.

pressure exerted on either side of the semi-permeable membrane. A potato (Solanum Tuberosum) contains 92% water‚ which is an osmotically active component. The precise osmotic potential of sweet potatoes is however unknown. The osmotic potential of sucrose is know to be at 20 oC‚ the osmotic potential of sucrose is 2.436 MPa2. The rate of osmosis will be calculated by measuring the percentage change in mass of a piece of potato‚ that has been submerged in a specific concentration of sucrose over

Exercise 1 – Potato Change in Mass versus Sucrose Concentrations Introduction: This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However‚ the alternative hypothesis

VII. Conclusion The hypothesis that if a potato is placed in a tube with different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass
