glucose to a solution of KMnO4 and H2SO4‚ the solution will turn colourless and it will take a specific time for the reaction to complete. By increasing the temperature‚ the time it takes (the rate) for the solution to completely change to colourless will be increased. Thus it can be said‚ that it is being hypothesized that an increase in temperature will cause an equal increase in the rate of the reaction. Method:1). Using a measuring cylinder‚ place 50 cm3 of sulphuric acid into a 250 cm3 beaker‚ add

Food prices in South Africa have increased by over 10% within the last year. This has a negative effect on the people with a lower income and who need to spend more of their total income on food. The cost of the standard South African food basket‚ which is expressed as a share of the average monthly income for the poorest 30% of the population has increased from 32.4% in October of 2010 to 36.4% in October 2011. Some of the determinants of the increased food prices occurred due to higher administered

Aim: This experiment aims to determine what effect an increase in the surrounding temperature has on the plasma membrane of a typical plant cell structure. Hypothesis: An increase in temperature will damage and denature the plasma membrane and cause the cytoplasm and other substances contained within the membrane to leak out. Introduction: The purpose of a cell membrane is to control the transport of substances moving into and out of a cell. The membrane is an extremely thin layer (8 to 10 manometers

Obesity is a monumental dilemma affecting the health and well-being of the world’s population(1-3). This is not a new problem‚ but rather a rapidly increasing one among children‚ adolescents and adults(4-6). The reasons for this escalation are multi-factorial; each must be appreciated and precisely addressed before solutions to obesity are practical (7). The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES cycles I‚ II & III) have been surveying the prevalence of obesity in American children

The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme controlled reaction Introduction and planning For the investigation of enzymes‚ I am going to conduct an experiment to see how temperature can affect the rate of reaction of enzymes by testing it with starch. The enzyme that we are going to use is called amylase. We are going to test this enzyme with starch. By mixing amylase and starch solutions together under different temperature conditions‚ we can record the rate of reaction by taking a

Abstract: This project looks at how the temperature of an experiment can affect its reaction time. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if dissolving reactions are affected by waters temperature. I believe that if the H2O temperature increases‚ then the Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve faster because the hot water molecules will move faster colliding with the tablet particles. Water will be the independent variable due to the fact is will always stay in its same form throughout the

The effect of temperature on the permeability of cell membranes Introduction For my coursework‚ I intend to assess how temperature affects the plasma membrane of a cell. For this I will use the cell of a beetroot. Background What is a cell membrane? The cell membrane‚ also called the plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer which is the surface of all cells that surrounds the cytoplasm. The membrane is called a bilayer as it has a double layer of phospholipids. Within the cell membrane

The effect of different temperature on the cell respiration. Introduction： Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP‚and then release waste products. The process of cell respiration can take place in the presence or absence of oxygen. In either case‚the first stage of cell respiration is glycolysis.The effect of temperature on cell respiration mainly depends on the effect of temperature on of enzyme activity.Generally speaking in a certain
