what is heavier? a kernel of corn or a popped corn? why?

Popped corn if it's been added with oil. the water inside the kernal will also have escaped, making it lighter.

Kelloggs and Post both make Raisin Bran.  What is the difference?  The reciepe.  How does this differ from the Fruit Cheerios/Fruit Loops case?  It doesn't.

The folklore of some Native American tribes told of spirits who lived inside each kernel of popcorn. The spirits were quiet and content to live on their own -- but grew angry if their houses were heated. The hotter their homes became, the angrier they'd get -- shaking the kernels until the heat was too much. Finally they would burst out of their homes and into the air as a disgruntled puff of steam.\n\nEach kernel of popcorn does contain a small drop of water stored inside a circle of soft starch. (That's why popcorn needs to contain 13.5 percent to 14 percent moisture.) The soft starch is surrounded by the kernel's hard outer surface. \n\nAs the kernel heats up, the water begins to expand, and pressure builds against the hard starch. Eventually, this hard surface gives way, causing the popcorn to explode. \n\nAs it explodes, the soft starch inside the popcorn becomes inflated and bursts, turning the kernel inside out. The steam inside the kernel is released, and the popcorn is popped!

Its the fibrous outside of the kernel that is in your feces.  You body does not have the digestive enzymes to break down that part of the corn.  When you chew up the corn and swallow it, the inside parts now become available for your body to digest.  The inside of the corn is where the nutritional value comes from.

The same way that crushing wheat releases starch. The starch is contained within the seed as starch granules, but conatined by a layer of cellulose. By crusing the barley or wheat seeds you crack that cellulose layer and release the starch.

Corn and dried strings of meat and fruits.

I think probably by accident when some ancient person dropped some in the fire ...:D\n\nhttp://www.nal.usda.gov/speccoll/images1/popcorn.html#early gives the quote below\n\n"Scholars agree that corn, and popcorn, originated in the Americas. Precisely how it originated, however, is a topic of debate. It is believed by many experts that corn was developed by centuries of breeding and crossbreeding wild grasses like teosinte. There has also been much speculation about how popcorn may have been prepared or used by the native Americans, fueled by findings of popcorn in archeological digs. "

The custom is actually much, much older, and the last sheaf was often shaped into a human image and was called "the corn man" or the "corn maiden" (corn here being used as a generic term for any kind of cereal), depending on where it was.\nIt was not made of grain, but of the straw, unless you are referring to some other custom which I do not know about.

The frozen one feels heavier because of the more solid (for lack of a better word) weight distribution. Did you try comparing weight by holding the bottle upright in the palm of your hand? That should give you a better relative idea. The weight is the same, in theory (assuming each bottle had exactly the same amount of water to begin with, the same amount of trapped air, and were both completely air-tight (all of which are unlikely)).

The name corned beef is due to a coarse salt used in the pickling process. Corn originally meant grain, as in a small particle of something, and referred to the corns of salt.

Corn is a generic English term that predates the discovery of America and means basically "cereal grain".  In American English these days it means the specific cereal grain Zea maize, or maize,that was grown by Native Americans, and is now grown world-wide.  So if you are American, the answer is "they are the same thing".

Okay inside the curnal there is some moisture. And when it heats up the water expands and causes steam so when this happens there becomes less and less room inside the curnal and eventually explodes. Thus causing popcorn to pop.

Corn cob is mostly cellulose and air. It is the trapped air that is the primary insulator.

corn doesn't constipate... but popcorn doesn't have that much fiber either, so they're both wrong!

Mine is fruit. I would rather have chips or chocolate for a snack, but fruit is lower in calories and better for you.

Reading some of the answers, that sounds nice. It sounds similar to a Sausage Supper, it's battered and deep fried, but not in cornmeal.

You mean Ethanol. In the upper mid-west of USA it is corn (cool climate). In tropical(hot) climates it is sugar. Both require much heat (energy) to reduce or change the product into ethanol.
