College of Science Field Trip
(2009-2010)

Hazel Grace M. Bellen
BS Biology 1-1

I arrived at PLM before 5:30 am. I’m ready for a fun-filled and exciting day. This is not my first field trip, but this is my first in PLM and the first with my new classmates. We left the school at exactly 6:30 am because there is a problem with the number of seats but it was settled when they’ve found out that there were still vacant seats in another bus.

I have been to Laguna many times. I have already visited Coca-cola Plantation in the past. I just can’t remember when. The first thing we did was to know the history of Coca-cola. The product was born in Atlanta Georgia on May 8, 1886. Dr. Jacob Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for Coca-Cola, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed. They also showed us the plantation where they are making their products. After that, they gave us a free bottle of “Sakto” which didn’t taste good because of the possible rust on the crown. I suggest that they must give us straw next time.

The next venue is the IRRI or International Rice Research Institute which was established in 1960. It is one of the largest agricultural research institutes in Asia. Supported by donor and partners, they are known as the Green Revolution in Asia. Almost half of the world’s population relies on rice but nowadays the production is not that sustain the need of people. Their number one goal is to eradicate extreme poverty by helping farmers around the globe. They continue to research for new rice varieties which are pest-resistant and can resist extreme weather conditions by using biotechnology.

    Water is the principle solvent in cells. There are three conditions that a cell may be subjected to in the cells physical environment. The cells may be isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. Isotonic is when the cell and is environment have equal concentrations of solutes. Therefore cells in an isotonic solution do not experience osmosis. When the cell is hypotonic it has a lower concentration of solutes so water will move out of the cell. When the cell is hypertonic, it will have a higher concentration of solutes and water will move into the cell to attempt to reach an isotonic state. The primary purpose of this exercise is to measure the rate and direction of osmosis under different concentrations. The greater the concentration of the solute (sucrose) the faster the solution (water) will pass through the membrane trying to achieve an isotonic state (Vodopich and Moore. 2011.)…

    The theme of this Congress, `Science for Shaping the Future of India`, reflects the dream of every generation of Indian scientists. Faster growth over the next few decades, more sustainable development based on food and energy security, and socio-economic inclusion made possible by rapid growth of basic social services, such as education and health, are all crucial for defining India’s future. Science, technology and innovation all have an important role to play in achieving these objectives. Science and technology development have been central to the phenomenal material advancement and efficiency in the use of resources seen in the last hundred years. The pace of change has only accelerated in the last few decades, as globalization and new technology have enhanced people’s access to knowledge and their ability to leverage it through collaboration. India has benefited from this epochal transformation by embracing these trends. Since technological changes typically emanate from established structures, they may at times re-inforce them and inhibit the advancement of equity and equality. As India seeks a sustained growth of its national income, we must endeavour to harness the tools of science to cater to the needs of the underprivileged and to bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Nearly 65 percent of our people live in rural areas. The increase in their living standards depends greatly on the growth of agricultural production and productivity. The Twelfth Five Year Plan assumes that a sustained growth of our agriculture at the rate of 4 percent per annum is essential for the achievement of food security for our country. This growth is constrained by shortages of water and also of land. We need new breakthroughs in water-saving technologies of cultivation, enhancement of land productivity and development of climate-resilient varieties. This transformation of agriculture must be the top priority concern of our public policies, including science and…

    In 1886 an Atlanta pharmacist, John Pemberton stirred up a fragrant, caramel-coloured liquid. The mixture was combined with carbonated water and sampled by customers. Pemberton’s bookkeeper named the mixture Coca-Cola and wrote it out in his distinct handwriting. To this day Coca-Cola is written the same way. In the first year, Pemberton sold just 9 glasses of Coca-Cola a day. A century later, The Coca-Cola Company has produced more than 10 billion gallons of syrup. Atlanta businessman Asa Griggs Candler secured the rights to the business for a total of about 42,300, became the first president and brought real vision to the business and the brand. (2)…

    Currently, hybrid rice is widely considered not only the best but also the most effective method to solve the world food crisis. Yuan Longping ,the father of hybrid rice. He devoted his life to research of hybrid rice. He always concerned about the people. At the same time he solved the world’s fifth people out of poverty. He has two dreams, one is synthetic the super hybrid, and the other one is to make hybrid rice for the world. Actually, hybrid rice has alleviated the food crisis to a large extent in some developing countries. ‘Pakistan currently produces about 6 million tons of rice annually of which around 3 million tons are exported. Average rice yield in Pakistan is around 3.7 tons per hectare, while hybrid rice cultivation covers only 202,400 hectares or about 7% of total rice acreage of around 2.8 million hectares. Pakistan imports around 3,000 to 4,000 tons of hybrid rice seeds annually to meet domestic demand.’(Online Oryza, 2013). As can be seen from the above, Pakistan has already achieved rice self sufficiency by planting the hybrid rice. Unquestionable, hybrid rice can be very helpful to solve the problem of food shortages in…

    As a new project with high-tech content, Golden Rice needs reliable technical supports. Until now, many developing countries, such as African country, have no chances of benefiting from bio-technology, while developed countries have already enjoyed the new invention to obtain their mental health. Many people from the developing country recommend that, since the last green revolution had been missed, they do not want to miss this one, which may allow them to have the opportunity to lift millions of people out of hunger. What is more, International Rice Research Institute( IRRI) is optimistic about the prospects for the Golden Rice project, and they believe that it may open up a kind of new research model creating partnerships with the private institution. On the contrary, people consider that this technique needs to establish its reliability before it becomes available to the general public. Methods such as testing should be done, making sure it could suit the local environment.…
