With all these pivotal discoveries and huge technological advancements‚ there have been many that have been overlooked‚ such as “The Potato.” Since I was a child‚ I have always been interested in topics that kids and even adults would find inexorably boring and absurd. My parents were at one time concerned at my unorthodox interest. At one time‚ I remember myself enraged when my dad

I lived on a potato farm in Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. It was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. This famine started in September of 1845 and ended in 1852. During this time‚ life in Ireland was extremely difficult. We suffered from much starvation and disease. Approximately one million of us died and another million emigrated to other countries‚ especially America. The population of the country dropped 20 to 25%. The Great Famine began mysteriously. My family

The Irish Potato Famine was a great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people. The question of genocide comes in when the British are taken into account. Ireland was dependent to Britain‚ much like how today countries like Puerto Rico are dependent

Straight blades produce regular chips while rippled blades produce ridged potato chips. * 5 The slices fall into a second cold-water wash that removes the starch released when the potatoes are cut. Some manufacturers‚ who market their chips as natural‚ do not wash the starch off the potatoes. Color treatment * 6 If the potatoes need to be chemically treated to enhance their color‚ it is done at this stage. The potato slices are immersed in a solution that has been adjusted for pH‚ hardness

in the cell. Independent variable is the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it. In osmosis lab‚ the independent variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled variables are the amount of water‚ amount of salt‚ and the size of the potato. If the potato is placed

through cell membranes. There are three types of condition that involves osmosis which is hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic. In a hypotonic solution‚ the water will move into the cell due to the outside of the cell having a lower solute concentration than the inside of the cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic surrounding (lower solute concentration)‚ the water molecules will move into the cell causing the cell to burst and haemolysed. When plant cell is placed

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
