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

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.

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

Executive Summary In the past‚ Australians have perceived potatoes as boring‚ time-consuming to cook‚ and high in carbohydrates. This negative perception resulted in a decreasing consumption and an inferior image of potatoes.
