You can pretty easily make any markable vessel into a measuring cup by measuring displacement. First off, the volume of a standard 40mm ping-pong-ball is just over 1 oz (1.1oz), which is one shot by some standards (others claim 1.5oz). Fill one cup 2/3 with water, mark the surface level.
GMO stands for genetically modified organism. Using genetic engineering, scientists alter genetic material in crops to make them resist insecticides, herbicides and make the crop yields higher. In United States, majority of soybeans, sugar beets, canola and corn have been genetically modified.o your research online. Furthermore, GMOs have a very negative effect on the environment. The herbicides used by Monsanto and other similar companies to grow these crops, sometimes run off into neighboring farms, streams and populated areas.
GMOs and Human Health. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho told the People's Health Assembly that GM is proving bad for health because it goes against the grain of the new genetics science. A GMO or genetically modified organism is one whose natural genetic material has been modified by having synthetic genetic material inserted into it.he World Health Organization has just issued a report, Modern food biotechnology, human health and development: an evidence-based study (23 June 2005) claiming that although there may be potential risks involved in the use of GMOs, the GM crops that are grown today are not likely to present health risks.
