ugar’s more than just a way to sweeten your coffee. When it’s mixed into a whipped sugar scrub‚ common table sugar becomes one of your best weapons against rough‚ dry skin. Better yet‚ a body scrub can be loaded with sugar and still not add an ounce to your hips. Sugar works to beautify your skin from the outside in‚ smoothing and polishing until you look perfect from head to toe. Why Sugar Scrubs Work The outer layer of your skin‚ the epidermis‚ looks a lot like a flaky pastry under a microscope

I am currently a student at Delphos Jefferson Senior High School‚ and we recently read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser in our senior English class. It is a nonfiction novel that discusses the dark side of American fast food. As we’ve been reading‚ I’ve realized that a large amount of students at Jefferson Senior High drink soda purchased at school-offered vending machines. While these students are young adults and can make their own health related decisions‚ our responsibility as a school is to

The Sugar Ad a) The target audience at a first glance seems to be mothers who are deciding food for their children. The title of the advertisement asks‚ “Which would you rather put on your kids’ cereal?” This question is in large bold letters which is directed towards mothers because‚ generally speaking‚ mothers are often the ones to prepare meals‚ buy groceries‚ and set the table for the family. Consequently‚ mothers are more often concerned than fathers with what their children eat. However

Sample Essay for the CATW – approximately 550 words In “No Food Stamps for Soda‚” writer Thomas Farley points out that many people in the United States rely on the food stamp program‚ which started in 1964 to help poor people buy food for their families. However‚ because of the current economic crisis‚ 35% more people are now using food stamps. As Farley explains‚ people cannot use food stamps to buy cigarettes and alcohol‚ but they can use them to buy soda and other sugary drinks. The writer

Carbohydrates - the Good‚ the Bad‚ the Iffy In the video “Are All Carbohydrates Equally Bad?” Dr. Jason Fung gives us a very good description of how different carbohydrates impact our body. Dr. Fung concluded that fructose‚ a sugar that found in fruits and honey‚ is much worse for us than glucose that found in bread‚ rice‚ and potatoes (Brefere & Drummond‚ 2017‚ p. 68). Even though they are both single sugars‚ they have different effects on our body. The same as people questioned for many years

Biology Aim: My objective is to plan and conduct an experiment from which I should be able to draw a firm conclusion that will either prove or disprove any predictions I make. This essay aims to assess and investigate the effect of various solution concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory

change‚ means there is no net loss or gain of water. Introduction This study shares the results of an effort to understand diffusion and osmosis in general. It focused more into osmosis in plants cell‚ and how to indirectly measure osmolarity in potato tuber tissue. Osmosis is the diffusion specifically of water across a membrane. Diffusion occurs when certain substance‚ such as an ion‚ is more concentrated on one side of membrane. If the membrane allows this ion through‚ the ions will move from

concentration of 1-kestose isomer increased steadily with time from 0 - 80 min. During this time‚ sucrose was significantly influencing the rate of 1-kestose formation and hence the optimum concentration of the 1-kestose isomer was observed at 80 min. After 80 min‚ the 1-kestose concentration gradually decreased. This was because the invertase active sites had become saturated with sucrose (substrate) or sucrose had been used up in the reaction. Therefore‚ there was a gradual decrease observed in the

A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s
