Assignment 1: Cell Membranes and Temperature Background Theory Beetroot contains betalain pigments within it’s vacuole‚ which gives it it’s purple-red colour‚ it’s this pigment which leaks out as the beetroot is heated and the cells membrane begins to break down. The practicals aim is to show the effect of temperature on the cell membrane by observing the colour change of the water the beetroot was placed in. The cell membrane is important as it controls the substances enters and leaves the cell with

permeability of the cell membrane. Introduction Located within the vacuole of beetroot cells is a red pigment call Betalains. Typically these pigments are contained within the cell vacuole by the tonoplast (vacuole membrane)‚ however When beetroot is heated these red pigments escape the vacuole. This experiment aims to explore the effect of temperature on the permeability of the cell membranes (i.e. Tonoplast). ‘The cell surface membrane is the plasma membrane that surrounds cells and forms the

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

Which of the following are also found in the cell membrane: lipids‚ proteins‚ or carbohydrates? What is the role of steroids in a cell membrane? Cell membranes contain all three of the above groups‚ lipids are found abundantly in cell membranes‚ steroids are a type of lipids which helps with membrane fluidity by restricting the motion of the fatty acid tails.

There are many kind of cell membrane disease‚ There are : Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that cause by gene mutation of CFTR Protein. CFTR it’s stand for Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This disease causes too much production of thick mucus‚ then the mucus will blocked the ion transport in epithelial cells that line the passageways of the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and other organs. If the passageways of the lungs is blocked by the thick mucus‚ it will make the sufferer

affect the beetroot cell membrane‚ I will keep the temperature constant throughout the experiment by using a water bath and measuring the desired temperature using a thermometer. PH: I will make sure that the pH is stable (constant) and only the temperature varies this is to be done by using buffer in every test tube so as to maintain pH balance for each beetroot sample and insure that pH does not become a variable. PH is important for maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane as integral proteins

Damage of Beet Cell Membranes Caused by Different Temperatures Resulting in Betacyanin Leakage By: Trevor Sandum‚ Lab 2‚ March 9‚ 2013 Introduction: A red pigment called Betacyanin located in the vacuole of the beet cells is released when the membrane is damaged (Danyk‚ 2013). The membrane is necessary for sustainability of the cell’s life‚ it separates the cell from the outside environment‚ and is responsible for diffusion‚ exocytosis and endocytosis‚ and transport. It

Membrane Behavior Lab Abstract: Introduction: The permeability of a cell to solutes in an aqueous medium depends upon the physical and chemical make–up of the membrane. The maintenance of the living cell depends upon the continued presence and functioning of a selectively permeable membrane. If the nature of the membrane is changed or altered in any way‚ this may well affect its permeability and thus the properties of the cell of which it is a part. Irreversible changes in the permeability
