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.

Most frequent reason for a gun exploding is a blocked barrel. A bullet is pushed by high pressure gas (40,000 to 60,000 PSI is common), and that gas needs to escape. A blockage stops the bullet, making it an effective cork. Pressure escapes wherever there is less resistance.

Other causes include excessive powder charges, incorrect powder type, metal failure due to internal defects or corrosion, and using wrong ammunition.

When should you hill your potatoes?

As far as I know, you hill potatoes so that the tuber roots have more room to expand, and the larger the hill, the looser the soil is for the potatoes to expand. it also keeps them from getting too much sun, at which point they turn green and are inedible. Sugars produced by photosynthesis are converted to and stored as starch in the roots. Basically, you're creating a better and eaiser environment for them to stretch their arms and legs. The more you hill them, the more they will be able to expand and the more yield you will get. Usually you hill two or three times in a season.

Potatoes, or the portion of the potato plant we eat, are actually roots.

The green shoots that go above ground for the potato plant do have chloroplast.

What are the differences between a potato and an onion?

Shallots are often thought to be another variety of onion, but they are actually a species of their own. They grow in clusters, where separate bulbs are attached at the base and by loose skins. The shallot has a tapered shape and a fine-textured, coppery skin, which differentiates it from onions. Shallots were first introduced to Europeans during the 12th Century. Crusaders brought them home as "valuable treasure" from the ancient Palestinian city of Ascalon.

Shallots have a mild taste that combines the flavor of a sweet onion with a touch of garlic.

The shallot can be distinguished from the others by its distinctive bulbs which are made up of cloves like garlic, but unlike garlic, the individual bulbs are not encircled together by a common membrane.
