Chapter 1:Introduction 1.1 Research Question: How does the concentration of Zinc Sulphate affect the ability of Dichlorophenolindophenol to be reduced during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis in Spinacia oleracea? 1.2 Rationale behind research: A few years back‚ on a visit to my uncle’s farmland in Rajhistan‚ India‚ I came across a few barley farms that were clearly receiving polluted water from a zinc mine nearby. The very same crops were then sold in the market! As I recounted the

Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology Although GMOs have been around for many years‚ it wasn’t until just recently that people have become more concerned with them. However‚ many companies that produce genetically modified organisms‚ like Monsanto‚ try to make believe that the products they produce are healthy and beneficial for the environment; while that may be true first glance‚ lots of anti gmo activists

A genetically modified food or GM food product is defined as “meat and edible plants modified through genetic engineering” (Genetically Modified (GM) Foods‚ 2015). Furthermore‚ human beings have engaged in the process of genetically modifying plants and animals‚ with selective breeding practices within identical species‚ “since the beginning of civilization” (Genetically Modified (GM) Foods‚ 2015). However‚ current methods of genetic modification can cross species boundaries‚ which require suppressive

The controversial issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified
