1. Based on the research you did in class today write 4-6 sentences about your project and the topics you searched. Include one quote from the sources you looked at. 2. Add in the APA citation of the quote you used in question 1
Sources:"In a potato battery, the electrical energy is generated by two chemical reactions that happen at the electrodes (the copper and zinc metal strips)."
"The electrons are able to flow through the potato because it acts as an electrolyte"
(Electrolytes are minerals like potassium which
is what a potato has)
Side fact
"The negative side is the source of the electrons that gives the energy to a wire that is connected to an electronic device. Batteries power electronic devices when connected with a conductive material, such as wires."
"Almost all of these minerals participate in or contribute to the chemical reaction with the electrodes resulting an electric flow."

The potato’s properties allow it to conduct electricity and act as a salt bridge between two metals on either side. This allows the electron current to move freely across a wire in order to create electricity."
