______ 1. Background: Potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial “Solanum tuberosum” of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). It originated from the area of present-day southern Peru and it’s now grown worldwide. Potatoes were first introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world ’s cuisine. It is the world ’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat‚ and maize. Wild potato species occur throughout

converted to sugars through a process that is known as fermentation. Sugars in the form of sucrose are mostly used by humans (Alexander N.Glazer). Sugar cane and sugar beet are composed of 20% sucrose‚ 75% water‚ 5% cellulose and about 1% is inorganic salts (Alexander N.Glazer). Sucrose is extracted with water by using mechanical pressure from the sugarcane. On the other hard the beet is peeled and crushed. Sucrose that was extracted from sugarcane is a highly effective substrate that is used during

Fluid Mechanics Flow Past a Circular Cylinder The behaviour of flow around and past bodies that are circular in the crosssection is very important‚ mainly because there are so many matching scenarios out there. Golf balls‚ over head cables and underwater supports are just a few examples of circular cross-sections and how studying flow in this case is important. Let us take golf balls for example‚ they have been engineered in such a way from them being perfectly round‚ to having small indents

Global Variations in the Potato Crisps and Potato Chips Market It’s fair to assume that consumer snacking habits are likely to differ from country to country‚ particularly across different regions and cultures. A clear example is the consumption of potato crisps / potato chips which can be seen in the bar chart below. 86% of consumers throughout the USA and France consume potato crisps / potato chips closely followed by 84% of GB consumers. On the other end of the scale is the Chinese market

land of Bangladesh. In last few decades‚ the demand of potato is increasing rapidly. As a developing country‚ the people of Bangladesh are not so affluent. That’s why they prefer potato to rice or wheat. The demand of potato is thus increasing as it is cheaper than the other two horticultural product rice and wheat. Last year‚ the production of potato is massive. But‚ that huge production makes a little impact on the price level of potato. The price at the point of production is relevantly low

escape into the air‚ and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash. As one of the most ubiquitous crops in the world‚ the potato is poised to feed the entire world. Along the way‚ scientists discovered that the popular staple of many people’s diets may also have potential to help power it as well. The potato is starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade . The word "potato" may refer either to the plant itself

Direction and concentration gradients Bradley Benton ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will investigate the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. A semi‐permeable membrane (dialysis tubing) and sucrose will create an osmotic environment similar to that of a cell. Using different concentrations of sucrose (which is unable to cross the membrane) will allow us to examine the net movement of water across the membrane. INTRODUCTION A major determinant of diffusion in a biological system is membrane

Being a couch potato is what many of us tend to be when we are on a break or on a holiday but why not try to do something different and useful that could bring benefits to one’s self? Earning additional cash over the internet could be let us just say one of the most beneficial way to kill time. Making extra cash is not easy but it is definitely worth the effort because the extra cash could come in handy during the rainy days. Besides‚ it’s easier earning some side income through the internet than

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
