Sweet potato

Eugenia Collier “SWEET POTATO PIE” Sukhanova E. LP31/2 Eugenia W. Collier (born 1928) is an African-American writer and critic best known for her 1969 short story "Marigolds". She was born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Collier 's collection, Breeder and Other Stories, was released in 1993. She has also published a play, Ricky, based on her short story of the same name. Other texts that Collier has written or contributed to include are Impressions

AG - The sweet potato led to the death of well over a million people. Now, the sweet potato did not directly kill all these people, but it did contribute to those deaths. On the other hand, the sweet potato also saved many lives for the Chinese population. The sweet potato among other new world crops were over monocropped. This meant that they were singularly planted, this drained the nutrients from the soil. The sweet potato was the most popular crop coming from the New World because corn competed

Investigating the Difference in Isotonic Point in Sweet and White Potato Research Aim: To observe whether equal sized white potato or sweet potato cores reached the isotonic point in the same concentration of sucrose solution. Introduction: Osmosis is diffusion of water from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. It does not require an input of energy. Plants use osmosis to transport minerals from their roots to their leaves, and to take in water in the soil. Because the

Investigate the Rate of Osmosis in Different Vegetables (Carrot, Potato, Swede, Parsnip and Sweet Potato) In this coursework experiment I plan to find the rate of osmosis in different vegetables (Carrot, Potato, Swede, Parsnip and Sweet Potato). I will measure the mass before and after the experiment to use the results to calculate the rate of osmosis, and to find trends in the vegetables. To ensure the experiment is fair, I will control all the other variables (Temperature, size of chip at 5cm

catch in the terrestrial coastline of the Floridian Keys. One essential major crop that is famous in the 1800-1900s in Florida is the sweet potatoes. The ancestor of sweet potato is I. trifida, and it was not until after 1565 was this particular important crop introduced to the Timicua tribe in northern Florida. Known as the “root of Ipomoea batatas,” sweet potato (sweet tuber) was introduced by the Spanish and found

Outside of his religion, JJ Alex engages in other traditions that affect the food he eats. Thanksgiving was always a custom in his house as far as he can remember. He and his family enjoy turkey, stuffing, collard greens, candied yams (sweet potatoes) and many other dishes on this day. What surprised me was that many of his dishes mentioned had a lot of southern influence to them. I thought to myself “how does someone who was born and raised in the northeast be exposed to so much southern

literary device is similar to those in “Sweet Potato Pie” because they both involve the main character looking back at the place where he or she grew up. They are also similar because of the fact that the main characters’ past home was not very financially stable. This is supported by the use of the term “shanty,” meaning crude dwelling, in both of the stories. However, they are also different in the fact that Buddy lived alone with his family in “Sweet Potato Pie,” while the main character in “Marigolds”

situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects, organic and inorganic, naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and they will both absorb relatively similar amounts of water. Procedure: Variables: Controlled- water and size of potatoes. Manipulated variables- potatoes growth based on contents of solution. Data: Data and Observations

In Eugenia Collier's "Sweet Potato Pie," the protagonists' opposing views on societal approval and self-acceptance drive the story. Buddy and Charley's opposing opinions provide insight into the difficulties of individual aspirations and the societal pressures they face. This article will look at the causes that contribute to their varied viewpoints, as well as the relatability and reality of each brother's point of view. Eugenia Collier's story "Sweet Potato Pie" depicts two brothers, Buddy and

the three potatoes in the 1.0M solution were submerged all night, then they would loose more weight due to the overwhelming amount of salt in the saline solution. The water from the potato would exit, causing a notable amount of weight loss. This was my hypothesis because of the amount of water that would leave the potato when osmosis was taking place. For my hypothesis along with the experiment, I found a few websites to be crucial to my understanding of osmosis/diffusion and the process that would
