Investigation of Water Potential in a Root Vegetable Introduction Background Information: Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential‚ down a water potential gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. If a plant cell‚ or an item with similar properties is put in water‚ three different things can happen: • If the surrounding area has a higher water potential‚ the cell will increase in mass through osmosis. The cell will

2013 Carrots Carrots are root vegetables‚ which are usually orange‚ although other colors exist. It has a crispy texture when fresh and the commonly eaten part of the carrot is the taproot. Carrots are available throughout the year‚ but are grown in the summer and fall when they are the freshest and most flavorful. They belong to the Umbelliferae family‚ named after the umbrella-like flower clusters that plants in this family produce. There are many components to a carrot‚ such as

Coconut water is a good source of the major minerals like magnesium‚ calcium‚ and potassium. It is particularly rich in potassium‚ an essential nutrient; one 8-ounce cup of coconut water has more potassium than a banana. It also contains a variety of trace elements such as

Research Project: Potato The potato originated in the South American Andes‚ but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela‚ Colombia‚ Ecuador‚ Peru‚ Bolivia‚ Argentina‚ Chile‚ Uruguay‚ Paraguay‚ southern Brazil‚ northward into Central America‚ Mexico‚ and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago‚ some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13‚000 years ago. Potato is the third most important

The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize

ANDERSON’S WATER POTENTIAL VIDEO (SAVES TIME AND EFFORT!) Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit area compared to pure water. Which allows you to figure out where water’s going to flow due to osmosis‚ gravity‚ pressure and even surface tension. It also allows you to figure out if water will flow in the first place and if it will flow into the cell or not. Water Potential (symbol psi) = Solute Potential (symbol psi s) + Pressure Potential (symbol psi p) Solute Potential= -i (ionization

done to find out what happens to a carrot or a potato if you place them in two different solutions. Osmosis has a lot to do with this experiment and is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis only deals with water and is a type of diffusion. The difference between all three solutions is that in a hypertonic solution the cells fluid rushes out of the cell and causes it to shrivel. In a hypotonic solution water rushes into the cell and causes the

The Carrot Cake Dessert Who would ever think a cake made with a vegetable would turn out to be a delicious dessert that is easy to prepare and serve? My dad’s favorite kind of cake is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. This cake is now one of my mom’s famous recipes known to the family‚ friends and co-workers. The carrot cake was modernized in the sixty’s as our nation began looking for healthier snacks and improving and maintaining a healthier diet. It became one of the nation’s trendiest
