When the Irish Potato Famine Struck Ireland On a sunny morning in 1845‚ Irish farmers were going to check their crops. A farmer named Abraham Fitz found black potatoes in his fields. He thought it may be only the one‚ so he moved over 4 rows and dug another potato out of the ground. This one was black and rotten. This causes Abraham to travel to his neighbors house and ask about their potatoes. His neighbor’s potatoes were black‚ rotten‚ and giving off a foul stench. This would later be discovered

digestive power of pepsin is greatest at the acidity of normal gastric juice (pH 1.5–2.5). In the intestine the gastric acids are neutralized (pH 7)‚ and pepsin is no longer effective.

investigate the effect of varying the concentration of sucrose solution on osmosis in a potato. Preliminary Experiments One preliminary experiment was done before the main experiment. From the preliminary‚ we were trying to find out how osmosis actually occurred in potatoes‚ and gave us a vague idea on what the main experiment would be like. This preliminary will aid my prediction‚ which is stated below. The following apparatus was used for the preliminary: * 1 large potato (skin

concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is hypertonic‚ the potato will decrease in size making the potato hypotonic. Osmosis is really interesting‚ that is why I chose to write this report about it. Materials and Methods We first cut out six cores out of a potato. We trimmed them all to the same length using a razor. After we had cut them to the same size we weighed them using

for the pH concentration experiment were put together by using a 10ml-graduated cylinder to obtain 4ml of each pH buffer to insert into cuvettes‚ a micropipette was then used to obtain 0.5ml of catechol and 0.5ml of the catechol oxidase. The pH buffer was made first to avoid any denaturation of the catechol oxidase. Our positive control for this experiment was pH 7 because that is the pH level of most cell membranes in the cytoplasm (Whitson‚ 2016.) Our negative controls varied for each pH buffer

Making a Potato Powered Light Bulb Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper

The reason why I think this could be a limitation is because each solution has an extreme acidic pH level like 1 or 2. As a result‚ I speculate the supreme acidity of the solution could negatively affect the pH measurer that could make it lose the originality to measure the right pH level for later product. Hence‚ it is crucial to have the pH measurer calibrated in a buffer solution so that the measurement can have a high accuracy overall. Thirdly‚ when measuring the
