What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
| You find fibre in lots of food like cereals, fruit, bread and vegetables. | Minerals | Iron is good for the blood.Calcium is good for your bones.Magnesium is good for your nerves. | Minerals are in lots of foods but are especially in fresh fruit and vegetables. | Vitamins e.g. vitamin A, B,
Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content are part of the group 2) Identify sources of essential nutrients • Carbohydrates - fruits, breads and grains, starchy vegetables and sugars • Protein – meat, fish, cheese, tofu, beans, lentils, yogurt, nuts, and seeds • Fat – omega-3-rich foods like fish, walnuts and vegetable-based oils • Vitamins –citrus fruits, strawberries and peppers • Minerals –bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. • Water – water , vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, eggs, soups 3) Explain the role of essential nutrients for health • Carbohydrate - supplies energy ,assists in the utilization of fats • Protein - helps build and repair body tissue, helps build antibodies • Fat - supplies energy, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins • Vitamins - Vitamins help to regulate chemical reactions in the body • Minerals - contains calcium and magnesium are important for bone structure, and
Fern Spore Germination and the Effects of Ammonium Nitrate Name Lab Partner: U-# BSC: 2011L Section: 908 April 10, 2014 Abstract: The effect of 1% ammonium nitrate on Ceratopteris richardii spore germination was tested in this experiment. Past experiments have been done on Botrychium dissectum and they found that when the spores were grown in the presence of ammonium, they had the best growth rates. Also when they had ammonium nitrate present, even more spores germinated compared to when they only used nitrate by itself. They did several tests using nitrate, ammonium, and then a combination of ammonium nitrate. Basing our hypothesis off of this past experiment, I hypothesized that in the presence of ammonium nitrate we should see an increased germination rate of our spores from the Ceratopteris richardii.
Green Giant would be saving $13,200 per worker if they moved. Even with the offer of $0.65 an hour that is still higher than the minimum wage in Mexico. Saving money is not the only reason to move however. Mexico is known for its agricultural economy and plenty foods it produces. The soil and weather conditions excellent for growing and harvesting the vegetables.
Week 2 assignment 1. Name five specific structural characteristics that differentiate Eudicots from Monocots. 2. Describe the function of roots in plants. 3.
My intake of meat and beans is the equivalent to 3.2 ounces. The recommendation for me is five ounces which is 1.8 ounces higher than what I already consume. Meat and beans are a good source of protein. Protein also exists in poultry, fish, and nuts. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Outcome1 1) Define the main food groups * Fruits - The fruit food group encompasses a wide range of fresh fruits and fruit products, including dried, frozen and canned fruit, and 100 percent fruit juice. * Vegetables - Any vegetable or 100% vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed. * Grains - Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products.
Renaissance desserts were known for the amount of sugar in them. The desserts were also known for the health booster of people blending sugar and vinegar. Introducing green salads after having a roast was established in the 15th century. Salad greens popular during that time were chicory, endive, watercress and lettuce. A salad was never jest the green lettuce it included several condiments: sometimes it contained raw herbs, cooked vegetables, crests, livers, and even brains of poultry.
(Food Inc.) The narrator gives facts on how we as customers get to enjoy ‘tomatoes’ all year round. He states that they were “grown half way around the world, picked when it was green and ripened with ethylene gas” (Food Inc.). This is meant to inform the audience that what they are eating isn’t what it seems. Just like the rest of the vegetables in the supermarket that is not labeled “organic”. We rarely think completely about where the food we eat comes from and how is it produced.
