Use Equal widths of potato core each time by using the same corer. This is important because if I used a different corer, the potato core might come out as a different width. This could be because of rust, or maybe even the thickness of the metal.

However, there are also some errors in this experiment. Firstly, the potato pieces were not exactly the same size despite the care taken to cut them. A solution to this would be to use a form cutter, which would cut exactly equal shapes. Secondly, the temperature is not exactly a constant variable as it fluctuated throughout the experiment as the test tubes were even put in a refrigerator with a much lower temperature than in the room. A solution for improving could be to place the test tubes into an electric cooler in the beginning to make the temperature stable and put potato pieces when the test tubes are in the cooler. Also, errors could be decreased by using a more precise beaker. Finally, repeating the experiment several times would allow as to take the average results and have a more adequate result.

After China developed a new type of potato that utilizes a technique for growing seed potatoes, the United States sought to make this variety better. After rounds of testing and development, the United States refined the Chinese variety of potato making the plants grow more rapidly, which shortens the time taken to produce crop. Also, the variety features virus resistance with the ability for the crop to be easily grown indoors. In October 1995, the first seed potato production was sent and tested in space

Looking at agriculture, fruits and vegetables, one of main vegetables that are great to humankind, is potatoes. Potato’s play an important role in the world, not by just giving nutrients to human bodies. For example some scientists have a theory of using potatoes to survive on planet Mars in the future (Reader, 2009). Yet not many people know about how the potato affected many countries and where did the potato started to grow. Knowing the basics and history of potatoes can really influence the thought of when someone is eating a French fried potato. Going back to its history, the potato first settled in southern Peru, then causing the destruction the Irish Potato Famine, and potentially ending in future in another planet.

Cut the potatoes using a cork borer approximately 5cm in length and 1cm in diameter. Using the appropriate tool cut the potatoes into cylinder form measuring the cylinders with a ruler.

The potato seems to us today to be such a staple food that it is hard to believe that it has only been accepted as edible by most of the Western world for the past 200 years. Our story begins thousands of years ago, in South America—Peru,

About 40 years later, the potato spread across all of Europe. Sir Walter Raleigh introduced potatoes to Ireland, and the crop became a successful staple for the Irish Population.
