elders tell us to eat soaked almonds? The reason is that almonds contain health benefits that will boggle your mind! When it comes to your health almonds can do wonders‚ because they are rich in vitamin E‚ zinc‚ calcium‚ magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. WHY IT IS BETTER TO SOAK ALMONDS IN WATER BEFORE CONSUMING? Dry almonds contain an enzyme inhibitor in the skin which is basically meant to protect the seed till it gets moisture for germination. When the almonds are soaked in water this enzyme

The Effect of Varying Dosages of Gamma Radiation on the Growth of Corn (Zea mays L.)1 Montalbo‚ Josephine M. A- 1L September 7‚ 2013 1 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Genetics laboratory under Prof. Cheryl D. Agdaca‚ 1st semester‚ A.Y. 2013-2014. ABSTRACT Exposure of corn plants to ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation can induce mutation. The purpose of this study was to

tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors include

Seed Lab I. Purpose/Question: A. What is the variable you are testing? Radish seed vs. Pea seed B. Question 1: How does seed type affect when the seeds germinate? C. Question 2: How does seed type affect the length of the stem? II. Research: List two pieces of information you learned about the variable you are testing below. The radish stem was longer. Both seeds germinated equally fast. III. Hypothesis: Make these an “If-then” statement and do not use pronouns (I‚ we‚ he‚

We are all made of corn. Take a strand of your hair. A recent study proved that if you are like the average American consumer today‚ your hair is 69% made of corn carbon. This is in contrast to the 5% of corn carbon that is in the hair of Europeans. Americans use more corn in their diet than anyone else‚ and the corn content of the American diet is partially responsible for our country’s widespread obesity and the prevalence of diabetes. America’s over-production of corn has serious consequences

The winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a twining‚ perennial herbaceous legume which can climb to 3-4 meters (Kantha and Erdman‚ 1985). As a leguminous plant‚ winged bean can be used in almost all parts of the plant. Fruit‚ leaves‚ flowers‚ bulbs and seed are edible and contain high protein and oil (Kotaru et al.‚ 1987; Dwiani et al.‚ 2014). The mature‚ dry seed is the most nutritious part of the winged bean. Their outstanding nutritive quality is based‚ above all‚ on their high protein

Coffee Beans - Robusta vs Arabica Taste Arabica beans have a milder‚ more aromatic taste while Robusta beans hold a stronger‚ more acquired flavour‚ with a grain-like overtone and peanutty aftertaste. Arabica beans tend to have a sweeter‚ softer taste‚ with tones of sugar‚ fruit‚ and berries. Their acidity is higher‚ with that winey taste that characterizes coffee with excellent acidity. Robusta beans contain twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans. Shape Arabica beans are flat and

Fear of a Corn Planet Final draft Robert Ridley Comp 2 Fear of a Corn Planet For some time now corn has been an energy source and an enemy to all of America. Unbeknownst to us it has been secretly added to everything a normal American ingests on a daily bases. Products such as Soda pop‚ Energy bars‚ Red bull energy drinks‚ and most processed foods. Though corn does have its practical applications in fuel production as well as industrial

rate of germination didn’t really vary between the number of paper towels throughout the experiment. Most of the seeds had germinated in the paper towels. The one outlier that was strange was the one paper towels. Only 14 of the 15 seeds germinated in that group. The difference that we could observation was the healthiness of the plants. IV. Conclusion Paragraph 1 Recap (Evidence): The purpose of our lab was to see if the amount paper towels would affect the germination of the seeds. My hypothesis
