  2. How much wheat to make a loaf of bread? | Science Questions

    www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/questions/how-much-wheat-make-loaf-bread

    To make white flour, you lose about 25 per cent of the original grain, mostly the nutrient-rich brown layer and the vital wheat germ. So, we need about 550 grams of wheat for our loaf. How much land it takes to grow this depends on the farmer's production method. Amy - I suppose production methods broadly boil down to organic and non-organic ...

  5. Why butter is so hard to spread on newly baked bread?

    www.thenakedscientists.com/.../why-butter-so-hard-spread-newly-baked-bread

    So because butter is more dense, it's harder to spread than peanut butter. This means that butter forms globules and sticks to itself rather than spreading out evenly on the bread. It might also be that if the bread has just come out of the oven, it's still warm and the melting point of unsaturated fats is lower than saturated fats, so the ...

    Mark - Plenty of materials are extremely expensive. There are drugs such as soloris which costs a whopping $700,000 for a year's treatment. There are chemicals that have high social costs through drug abuse or pollution. But strictly speaking, none of these are elements. They're mixtures of elements bound together known as molecules or minerals.

  7. What's the best source of human DNA? | Science Questions

    Answer. Kat Arney got stuck in to this question. Kat - To be honest, when scientists are doing things like genetic studies, the best source of DNA is actually the blood. Red blood cells don't have DNA in because they lose it as they mature, but white blood cells are packed full of it. So, a good sample of blood, you spin it down, you take out ...

    Martin - We know that the sun will die in about 6 billion years. When that happens, it'll flare up, become a red giant and engulf the inner planets and end any life remaining on Earth. Long before that, in fact, life have become uncomfortable on Earth because the sun is getting brighter all the time. So after about 1 billion years from today ...

  10. How much toast can a lightning bolt make? | Science Questions

    www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/questions/how-much-toast-can-lightning...

    Answer. We're nearly at the end of the show, so I should give you the answer to our toast question. It's about 100,000, as Ed suggested, because basically, there's 10 billion joules of energy in a lightning bolt and it takes about 100,000 joules to bake a slice of toast. So, if you divide 10 billion which is 10 to the power of 10 by 10 to the 5 ...

  11. Why does brown bread toast quicker than white bread?

    www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=11221.0

    Re: Why does brown bread toast quicker than white bread? Brown bread is not so disgustingly damp and 'pappy' as white bread so the lower water content means it takes less time to heat up to a temperature at which it can start to burn a bit. Being brown, it may even absorb a bit more infra red than (disgustingly pappy ) white bread - and heat up ...
