Potatoes

its no surprise to me because when you leave a potato in a little room for a while you Will start to see a small shot, this small shoot is like a stem, so when it is about 1cm long you can plant it.

If you want to measure anything you put it on a balance(scale). You probably want to use a digital kitchen scale as they are very accurate and can normally cope with mass's up to 4 may be 5kg.

Biologists have found ways to use leftover potato particles a. to build huts. c. to make concrete. b. to feed tigers. d. to fuel power plants. ___a___

Yes, potatoes contain starch, which is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a source of energy for the plant. When cooked, the starch in potatoes also plays a role in their texture and structure.

You can check if raw potatoes are rotten by looking for any signs of mold, soft spots, wrinkles, or a foul smell. Rotten potatoes may also have a greenish tint or appear sprouted. It's important to discard any potatoes that show these signs to avoid consuming spoiled food.

When a raw potato is mixed with hydrogen peroxide, the enzyme catalase in the potato helps break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. This reaction produces bubbles of oxygen gas as a result of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

There are approximately 85 grams of potato flakes in 3 ounces.

Potatoes reproduce through tubers because it's a reliable and efficient method for ensuring genetic similarity among offspring. Although potato plants can produce flowers, fruits, and seeds, these seeds may not always result in desirable traits. By using tubers (containing eyes) for reproduction, the offspring will be genetically identical to the parent plant, ensuring desired characteristics are maintained.

The chemical composition of potato pulp can vary, but it typically contains organic compounds such as carbohydrates (starches), proteins, fibers, and water. There is no specific chemical formula for potato pulp as it is a complex mixture of molecules.

Potatoes are considered long-day plants, meaning they require more than 12-14 hours of daylight in order to flower and produce tubers. Short-day plants, on the other hand, require less than 12-14 hours of daylight to flower and grow.

Yes. They are new seed berries and are poisonous but the potato tubers are safe to eat. Peel any green skin completely before eating. Green skinned potatoes are those that have been growing on the ground's surface

Fresh liver contains the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, leading to bubbling. Potato cubes do not contain catalase and therefore do not produce bubbles when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. This difference in reaction is due to the presence or absence of catalase enzyme in the tissues.

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I think that it turns green from it being in the light or in the sun. for example if your making mashed potatoes and you put your potatoes on the window sill and there is TONS of light and you leave it there for five hours cuz you forgot and you saw it and it's green than that's probally cuz of too much LIGHT NOT DARK. I hope it's right.

The genus of plants in the nightshade family that includes potato, tomato, and aubergine is Solanum.

Potatoes can be used for creating battery power as they contain phosphoric acid, or for making biodegradable plastics as they can be processed into a material called starch-based bioplastic. Additionally, potatoes can be used as a natural dye for fabrics due to their pigments.

Endothermic because you have to put heat into the potato to bake it.

No it hasn't, that's just the starch coming out. Watch any potatoe variety when you peel it; they will do the same, it's just not as obvious against the light yellow of a 'normal' potatoe then it is against the bright orange of a sweet one.

the first potato planted in the US was in New Hampshire.

When you cut a potato and expose it to air, the enzyme catalase in the potato reacts with oxygen to produce compounds like catechol and quinone. These compounds cause the potato to turn brown, indicating a chemical change has occurred.

You can use whole milk (Vitamin D) in place of evaporated milk, but it will require simmering longer and more milk than called for. There is no exact measure for it, sorry. you can also use half and half to substitute, but it can be a little more bland or not as rich, so you might want to add some heavy cream, butter, or sour cream.

Pure water has a boiling point of 100 degrees C. With limited exception, this is the maximum temperature for aqueous water, above which it becomes a gas. When you add salt, it raises the boiling temperature, therefore raising the maximum temperature.

By adding salt, you're effectively raising the temperature of the water.

Potatoes contain water and minerals that make them conductive. When a potato is pierced with electrodes, the minerals and water create a path for electricity to flow through, allowing it to conduct electricity.

Most of the starch stored in the cells of a potato originally entered as glucose. Glucose molecules are synthesized from photosynthesis in the leaves and transported to the potato tuber for storage in the form of starch.

I know that molds can eat potatoes because once i did a science project with molds and potatoes. I don't know if molds can eat starch that's something I'm going to have to do in future times! :) XD
