Although a blight affected the potato crops of Ireland during the 1840’s‚ the mass starvation was the result of British governmental policy‚ that forced many Irish to immigrate to America. Their immigration had many positive and negative effects on the American people and the economy. Ireland was a country of poverty and nearly half of the families in rural areas were living in mud houses with no windows or furniture. According to the Constitutional Rights Foundation‚ Ireland was not an industrialized

In this study‚ three general media will be used for the detection of microorganisms on the equipment‚ personnel‚ raw materials and the finished goods. These are Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA)‚ Plate Count Agar (PCA) and Violet Red Bile Agar (VRBA) under the Univar brand. The amount of each prepared medium or dehydrated medium depends on the number of samples to be tested. PDA is usually used for the presence of yeasts

Effect of Temperature ( C ͦ) on Enzyme Catalase Activity in potato Aim: To investigate the Effect of temperature (10‚ 37‚ 60) Celsius (C ͦ) on enzyme catalase activity in potato using 2% of hydrogen peroxide (H202) as the substrate measuring the height (cm) of oxygen gas (bubbles) and calculating the volume of oxygen bubbles produced (cm3) Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being affected. They lower the activation energy needed to start

Sweet Potato Pie Eugenia Collier From up here on the fourteenth floor‚ my brother Charley looks like an insect scurrying among other insects. A deep feeling of love surges through me. Despite the distance‚ he seems to feel it‚ for he turns and scans the upper windows‚ but failing to find me‚ continues on his way. I watch him moving quickly—gingerly‚ it seems to me—down Fifth Avenue and around the corner to his shabby taxicab. In a moment he will be heading back uptown. I turn from the window

Aim To investigate the effects of increasing salinity on potato cell mass. Background Information This experiment is based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until

Investigating the Difference in Isotonic Point in Sweet and White Potato Research Aim: To observe whether equal sized white potato or sweet potato cores reached the isotonic point in the same concentration of sucrose solution. Introduction: Osmosis is diffusion of water from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. It does not require an input of energy. Plants use osmosis to transport minerals from their roots to their leaves‚ and to take in water in the soil. Because the

I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1.

and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato and glucose/salt solution. The experiment requires putting a piece (or more) of potatoes into glucose or salt solution to see the result of osmosis (a hypertonic type of solution is mostly used as it would give the most prominent visual prove of osmosis
