Corn flakes

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine how the egg changes when it was in different substances which were distilled water and corn syrup. The reason the eggs change in size is because of osmosis. Osmosis is a form of facilitated diffusion when water moves through channels, water is moving from high to low. There are three types of solutions, isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic. When the egg is placed in an isotonic solution the egg will stay the same size. Isotonic is when the concentration

United States is corn. Corn is the largest commodity crop grown in the U.S., it is turned into the cheapest and most consumed sweetener, high fructose corn syrup, it finds its way into 75% of the products in the average grocery store, and unlike its ancestor from southern Mexico the corn we grow today has close to zero nutritional value. It is estimated by the National Corn Growers Association that the average American consumes 25 pounds of corn each year. When one thinks about corn consumption, they

Once upon a time, long ago, there was a boy named Jack. He lived with his mother on an old farm and was extremely poor. One day, Jack couldn’t fall asleep, so he asked his mother, “How did we end up so poor?” His mother sighed and answered. “We were incredibly rich when you’re father was alive. When he died, we lost all our money.” Jack realized this was an opportunity to learn more about his father. Ordinarily, Jack’s mother refused to talk about his father. “How did he die?” Jack

The Maize Maze Diego Villada-Youel As I crawled in the back of my dad’s truck, ready to go to the corn maze, my stomach felt like it had a hundred butterflies were trying to get out. About halfway to the corn maze my stomach felt like the butterflies that we're trying to storm out had ten babies each, that we're now trying to burst out like fireworks. I could taste the dirt under my nails when I was chewing them due to the tizzy feeling I had about what was going to happen in the maze. Finally

visit a corn maze. After nearly an hour of planning around all ten people 's schedules, we decided we would leave around nine to arrive there during the scariest hours of night. We all met in Eaton which is where we always met when we were going to carpool. Everyone arrived on time, smelling strongly of bug spray which we would later

submerged in distilled water, then the egg will expand in size. If an egg is submerged in corn syrup, then the egg will shrivel. If an egg is submerged in a salt solution, then the egg will shrivel. The hypothesis concerning the egg submerged in distilled water, was supported. The egg grew by 2.5 cm and weighed 12.5 grams more than it did in the beginning. The hypothesis concerning the egg being submerged in the corn syrup was also supported.The egg shrunk down to a significant size, the egg ended up

is based in St. Louis, Missouri protects its dominance over the genetically modified crops such as the soy bean with the use of a patent law. Because of this, Monsanto’s patented genes “account for 95 percent of all soy beans and 80 percent of all corn grown in the U.S.,” (Associated Press). Although genetically modifying the soy bean crop has made it more readily available and more sustainable, this comes at a high price to farmers. Monsanto continues to raise their prices, which forces farmers

derived from the single crop of corn. Michael tells a story about a corn field in Iowa where the farm had been passed down to the family and was quiet successful back in the day. George’s crop in inedible they are fed to livestock so shipped to factories to be processed. His family survives from the income of his wife who works for a social services agency. The supply of corn has greatly surpassed the demand and therefore alternative decisions must be made as to where the corn will go which is why it is

friends were supposed to go to a corn maze after school and she knew she couldn’t be late. She jumped out of her seat as soon as the bell rang. “Kenzi!” Kenzi swept her head quickly around to see Malachi pushing past everyone to get to her. She smiled and acted like she didn’t see him and turned around. Malachi sighed and kept pushing past past until he reached her. “Hey Kenz.” Malachi said with a huge smile. Kenzi turned back around still smiling. “Going to the corn maze today?” The smile still
