Spoiling Bananas
Bananas are a very healthy food to eat, however, you have to eat them quick. Bananas go rotten and spoiled within about a week. Depended upon the type of banana, you could have 3-50 bananas in a bunch. Most bunches that you will find at your local grocery store will have 5-7 bananas. There are many methods to keeping your bananas ripe, but most people do not know which one is the best. So, this experiment will prove which method is the best for keeping bananas ripe the longest. This experiment will have many methods being tested. These methods are: wrapping the stem of the banana in tin foil, putting the banana in the refrigerator, leaving the banana out, or using a banana hook to hang it up. There are many theories that

“Most bananas come from Central and South America; other important producing areas are in Africa and southern Asia.” (Science Online) Those bananas are then transferred around the world for humans’ pleasure. Most people love to eat this sweet treat, however, most don’t understand really what a banana is. Bananas are thought to be a fruit, nonetheless, bananas are actually not. “The banana is a large, herbaceous plant with a perennial root, or rhizome, from which the plant is perpetuated by sprouts or suckers.” (Today’s Science) So, the banana is actually part of the herb family. The banana plant can vary in size. This plant could grow anywhere from 8 to 30 feet tall. (Litz) So, really the banana is much different than what people think they are. Even with over 35 …show more content…
One experiment that has been tested is, “Does the temperature affect the lifespan of a banana?” This experiment is similar to the experiment being tested now. Another experiment that has been conducted was, “Does the type of banana affect the lifespan of a banana?” There have been many different experiments that have been conducted involving bananas. “What method keeps bananas ripe the longest?” is the experiment being conducted
In his introduction, Soluri introduces his idea of the banana as a symbol, something that he repeats throughout the book. I believe this is one of his strongest arguments. To him, the banana is a symbol of the "distance" (2) between those who grow the banana and those who consume. According to Soluri, while the actual fruit lost its exoticism
... got very different results, however they had carried out the experiment in slightly different ways, making it difficult to compare results.
Writing in Biology is different than writing in other courses like English. In Biology, the writer must conduct an experiment prior to writing a lab report on the findings. For this lab report, I had to conduct an experiment comparing the cellular respiration rates of germinating peas and non-germinating peas. Before beginning the experiment, we had to create a thesis that would state which set of peas would have the higher respiration rate, germinated or non-germinated peas. We were expected to make a thesis based on our prior knowledge of how cellular respiration works in plants. I conducted the experiment during class two weeks before the lab report was due. The experiment consisted of placing peas in a Biochamber where the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen would be measured every 6 seconds for 3 minutes. After completing that, my instructor stressed that we repeat the experiment 5 more times for each set of peas. After collecting the data, we compare...
Going into details of the article, I realized that the necessary information needed to evaluate the experimental procedures were not included. However, when conducting an experiment, the independent and dependent variable are to be studied before giving a final conclusion.
Most people think of exotic foods when they think of foods from other countries, but that’s not necessarily true . Locals enjoy lots of foods eaten in the United States. Steak is very big in Bolivia, so there is a lot of steakhouses. Of course, Bolivians do have some signature foods and local fruits are super tasty. Fruits like apples, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, mangos, honeydew melon, watermelons, figs, grapefruit, and many more grow there. Bolivia does has some special fruits. One of these is the Acais berries, which has a remarkable reputation because of its many vitamins and minerals. The acharya berry has a festival in its honor in January. This berry is semi-acidic. Another interesting berry is everybodys’ favorite, since it makes chocolate!!!! The cacao is an ugly looking fruit that you probably would never buy if you saw it for sale and it is not normally eaten by itself. The last fruit I’ll tell you about is a kind of banana, a guineos. These bananas are not your everyday banana, it is much smaller than an average banana and is the best banana for banana bread.
In conclusion, the title and context of the article are clear, and appropriately match the hypothesis of the authors. There is consistency between the objective of the experiment and its relationship to science. This writer found some issues in the overall presentation of information, in that the text lacks smooth transition, and was difficult to read and follow.
...s strength in the experiment rather than a limitation which future studies should also monitor.

Scientists make progress by using the scientific method, a process of checking conclusions against nature. After observing something, a scientist tries to explain what has been seen. The explanation is called a hypothesis. There is always at least one alternative hypothesis. A part of nature is tested in a "controlled experiment" to see if the explanation matches reality. A controlled experiment is one in which all treatments are identical except that some are exposed to the hypothetical cause and some are not.
In order for an experiment to be considered a true experimental design, the design must fit specific criteria. The researcher must have a hypothesis for a cause and effect relationship between variables, the treatment group, the control group, random selection for the treatment group, and random assignment for the control group. In a simple experiment, the researcher forms two groups that are similar or equivalent, through probability, to each other in every way possible appropriate to the concept of experiment. The treatment group receives the procedure for the experiment and the control group does not. Therefore, the only difference between the groups will be that one group receives the treatment for the experiment and one group does note. After the experiment is conducted the researcher analysis the results in both groups.
The baboon is the most widespread primate in Africa. Well-known for their remarkable ability to adapt, baboons can be found in a variety of habitats, ranging from semi-desert to rainforest, and from coastal areas to mountains. Their adaptability also extends to their feeding habits — baboons will eat just about anything. The baboon's diet includes a wide variety of plants, of which they eat every part: leaves, fruit, buds, flowers, roots, bulbs, tubers, seeds, shoots, bark and even sap. As for meat, these resourceful monkeys will eat insects, shellfish, small reptiles and amphibians, rodents, birds, fish, eggs and even young antelope or livestock.
1. Introduction Chiquita is one of the leading banana market firms in the world, Fyffes plc another. In 2014, Chiquita’s banana sales increased about 3%, due to higher contract amount, but they also had a decrease in their healthy snacks and salad products. Mostly due to dry weather conditions there has been an increase in costs and less bananas sold.
