Is the eye of a potato safe to eat?
Potatoes are the portion of the plant called the "tubule." It's the underground stem that the roots protrude from. The nodules that form as roots begin to grow are called "eyes." The myth is that these contain a higher concentration of the poison solanine, found in commonly in the nightshade variety of plants. However, they are not poisonous, just fibrous and not considered palatable.

How many potatoes do you need for potato salad to feed a 100 people?
Well, it depends n the size of the potato. But, if we assume that an average potato gives us a serving of four pieces then depending on the appetite f the person I would say 4-6 pieces per person. Which is an average of 5. Therefore to feed 100 people I would use 125 potatoes. BUT, as my Mother always says, it's better to have more than less - so do 150.

How does osmosis experimemt take place with potato?
This is just an experiment I made up and I have no proof it will work, but I think I have an idea.
1. Prepare a dish and weigh it.
2. Take a potato and cut a section of about 5mm (Not skin) thick off. Place onto dish
2. Precisely measure the mass of the potato and dish using scales.
3. Record results.
4. Leave the dish in a dry place for two weeks and the flip the potato over, and wait another two weeks.
5. Measure the new mass.
6. The initial mass minus the new mass is the amount of water lost.
7. To find the percentage of water, Take the amount of water lost and dived it by the initial weight minus the weight of the dish.
As I said, I just thought of this and have no proof it will work. If anyone else has a better idea, please share.

Will a potato grow in vinegar?
I'm 99% sure on this but no because the need the nutrients in the dirt.
Yes they do. Catalase in general seems to protect organisms, including potato cells, from the effects of hydrogen peroxide. In plants, catalase is primarily located in peroxisomes, cell organelles which are like lysosomes, but break down simpler molecules. Catalase is involved in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide generated during cellular processes such as photorespiration and oxidation of fatty acids. Hope this helps :)
Is a potato a monosaccharide disaccharide or polysaccharide?
um.....a potato isn't any of those. A saccharide is a sugar, and a monosaccharide is one sugar that is not bonded, such as galactose, glucose, or fructose (which are the three main monosaccharides, and are isomeric). A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bonded together, usually using dehydration synthesis. An example would be maltose, which is C12H24O12, or two glucose molecules. A polysaccaride is a lot of monosaccharides bonded together such as starch. So a potato is none of those.

How long can mashed potatoes sit at room temperature?
Cooked food should be held at least 140 degrees. Food should be consumed as soon as possible after cooking to slow the growth of bacteria. This is what refrigeration does. Generally speaking most hot foods will not have excessive bacterial growth in less than two hours. However this is accounting that the food was at a proper temperature at the beginning of that time. Also, bacterial growth can be greatly increased due to other improper handling (i.e. introduction of filth from hands ect).
Raw potatoes yes. This used to be a fodder for cows back in the old days when people could not afford to buy hay. It is a favorite of some cows.
