It is important to note that when grapes are ripening, they will have equivalent amounts of glucose and fructose. The sugar content will be 18-24 brix/100g of sugar. In addition, during ripening period, the acidity of grapes should lie around pH 3.3 or 0.6-0.8g/100ml, with declination in Malic and tartaric acid as they metabolize which cause dilution to occur. The berries should be dark colored with soft elastic textures that allow it to be easy to be removable from the pedicels. Nonetheless, strong varietal aroma with low to none astringency should also be found within the berries when it is ripe.
“How Flowers Changed the World” by Loren Eiseley Summary In “How Flowers Changed the World” by Loren Eiseley is described the Earth as a barren. Deserted planet hundred million years ago, just likes Mars. After millions of years, a new greener Earth presence appeared on the platforms of the continent and there were still no flowers at all.

Fitting the pieces of corroboration on how the flowers changed the world, a critique The essay “How Flowers Changed the World” is a popular excerpt from The Immense Journey, written by American natural science writer, Loren Eiseley that discusses the significance of the rise of flowers on the evolution of living organisms. Eiseley implied that flowers carry many different significant attributes to the growth of living organisms may it be for animals, for other plants, and for humankind. Loren Eiseley discussed that during the first ages, plants were dependent on water for their growth that led many swamps and watercourses surrounding the earth with the vast and bare land.

In class we had a discussion about the final of the chapter of the book, Candide, where Candide said, “We must cultivate our garden.” In our class discussion we talked about what could Candide possibly mean by this statement. To me what this statement was a response throughout all the events he encountered during his adventure to Cunegonde and although it wasn’t said, it was implied that he also wanted an answer to deal with life. The reason I say this is because in the novel we meet Pangloss the philosopher of optimism and he was Candide’s mentor, being that he was Candide’s mentor of course Candide would follow Pangloss’s words. However, Pangloss’s words of optimism seems to have fallen through because with each and every event Candide encounters there were not of great outcomes, for example, when Candide was infatuated with Cunegonde in the castle, they ended up kissing, but as for Candide he got kicked out of the castle.
Hypothetical Method in Action: “The Intelligent Plant” The article, “The Intelligent Plant” by Michael Pollan, explores the intricate ways of plants and the human understanding of how they function without a neurological brain. It navigates the questions of whether plants can think, learn, be conscious, or feel pain, citing several studies and experiments conducted to prove these concepts. One mentioned study conducted by Monica Gagliano focused on the Mimosa pudica, a plant species with observable reaction speeds, to test the ability of plants to learn. Pollan used this and other experiments to prove plants exhibit intelligent behavior.
