from the food you eat. For this project I conducted an experiment on different kinds of nuts in which I aimed to determine how much energy were stored in these nuts. The experiment was executed by burning these nuts to heat up a container of water and calculating the change in temperature that takes place. Using the change in temperature, one could calculate the amount of energy set free by the burning nuts. My hypothesis for this project will be: “Is there a variance in energy contained in
legume 3-7 cm long containing 2-3 (rarely 1 or 4) seeds, which forces its way underground to mature. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the peanut is a woody, indehiscent legume or pod. Peanuts are also known as Groundnuts (because they grow underground), Earthnuts, Goobers, Goober peas, Pindas, Pinders, Manila nuts and Monkey nuts (the last of these is often used to mean the entire pod, not just the seeds).

It also is known as cobnut or filbert nut according to species. The nut happens to falls out of the husk when ripe, around 7 to 8 months after pollination. The kernel of the seed is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin, which sometimes is removed
INTRODUCTION Seed proteins can be broadly classified into two categories: housekeeping proteins and storage proteins. Seed storage proteins are group of proteins synthesized mainly during seed development, serve as a major nitrogen reserve which are utilized during germination of the seed. They are the source of necessary free amino acids and nitrogen to the growing plant with the sole purpose of providing proteins (nitrogen and sulphur source) required during germination(Chua et al., 2008). These

and germination of seeds. Mature pecan trees produce and drop thousands of seeds to the ground during the fall season. Dispersal of these seeds may be through the water, wind or animals but wind will end up pollinating the seeds. Pecan tree seeds lay dormant throughout the winter and will begin the growth process in the spring. The seeds require an adequate amount of warmth and rain throughout the winter and early spring months. Once the germination process has finished, the seed... ... middle of
