I. The Irish Potato Famine was a catastrophic event in Irelands history. Almost a million people died during this harsh time. They had lost their main food source and barely had food for one person let alone their families witch consisted of 5-7 people on average. At the time they were considered a part of Britain but Britain did not help much during their crisis. The Irish Potato Famine of Ireland in 1845 resulted in a great population loss‚ a changed economy‚ and a substantial emigration of citizens

Introduction In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region

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

Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

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

Observing Osmosis in Potato Cells Planning Purpose: To observe the effect of osmosis on plant cells. Hypothesis: The higher the salt content of the water‚ the lower the mass of the potato. Variables: Independent: the salt percentage of the solution Dependent: the weight of the potato in grams Controlled: the amount of water the length of time between measurements the method of measuring the type of plant cells tested Equipment: (as seen on 2A Human Biology task sheet)

America’s Great Potato Baron Eric Schlosser’s biography “Fast Food Nation: Why the Fries Taste Good” explains how this invention started out of a simple potato by a man named John R. Simplot who was raised on a farm‚ un-educated and by his own account‚ left home at a young age. According to Eric Schlosser’s claim‚ “John Richard Simplot‚ America’s great potato baron‚ whose seemingly inexhaustible energy and willingness to take risk built an empire base on French fries” (Schlosser par. 2).

distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions 5% NaCl and 10% NaCl would have shriveled cells. This is because the solution is hypertonic and water is leaving the potato out into the solution.

The Calvin and Hobbs comic strip portraying Hobbs’ new approach towards ethical behavior communicates a less vastly recognized point of view regarding the need for morals and justifies why in fact‚ people regard them as unneeded at all. Hobbs expresses a few ideas in the strip; “the ends justify the means” ‚ “might makes right‚ the winners write the history boxes” and “it’s a dog eat dog world”. The first idea‚ “the ends justify the means”‚ expresses a widely spread notion that in a materialistic
