METHODS Stability of cell membrane using pH For the lab experiment for testing the stability of beet cell membranes using pH‚ many materials were used as follows. Obtaining a beet we punch out cores‚ using a cork borer. After washing the cores we put each one inside a separate test tube‚ and added a different pH solution in each one. After 3 minutes in these exposure solutions‚ we took the beet out with a dissecting needle. Then transferred each beet to a separate test tube containing deionized water

Beet Lab By: Sumeet Grewal Purpose: The purpose of this lab was determining the effect of surface area on the beets ability to interact with the environment. Three similar sizes of beets were assigned. Each beat was cut up into different sizes as one large piece‚ two smaller pieces and eight tiny pieces. All three different slices of beets were placed in their own containers and tested. Observation: While the lab was going on‚ it was noticed the tiny pieces of beet were doing the best while the

Beet Cell Lab Purpose: The purpose of this Lab was to see how much pressure or stress the beet tissue would hold. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the higher % of the solvent that the higher the colour intensity will be shown on the ph colour scale. The lower the solvent then the less colour shown. Materials: *Test Tubes (4) *Cork Borer *Beets *Water *1% Acetone *50% Acetone *1% Methanol *50% Methanol Procedure: *Cut 4 uniform cylinders of beet using a cork borer with a 5-mm

The purpose of this entire experiment was to find a way to help slow or even stop the spreading of oil. The substances that were used were Dish soap‚ Laundry detergent‚ and Kosher salt. After test the three‚ laundry detergent seemed to stop the oil the most. The oil took over 5 minutes to get through the detergent. The oil took 8.8 seconds to get through the soap. The oil took 16.8 seconds to get through the salt. The first step is to gather all the supplies needed for the experiment. The next

Title: The effect on temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction A cell membrane or plasma membrane is very important in protecting cells. A cell membrane is a thin layer that protects the cells. The membrane is filled with lipids and proteins. The cell membrane protects the cell from ions and molecules that enter and exit the cells. I hypothesize that at -5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 1. I hypothesize that at 5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 2

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes and Concentration of Betacyanin Released Introduction Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Each membrane layer is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and

Discussion The main purpose of this lab was to synthesize four soaps and two detergents and determine which one would be the best for an environmental group to use in the event of an oil spill.1 To complete this task‚ five subgoals had to be achieved first. To find the solubility of the fats‚ oils‚ soaps‚ and detergents‚ each of them were placed into different solvents to see if they dissolved. None of the oils and fats were soluble in water (H2O)‚ sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ or hydrochloric acid

Detergents A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with "cleaning properties in dilute solutions."[1] These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates‚ a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water‚ because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxyl (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. In most household contexts‚ the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent

It is very common for writers to use literary devices as tools to help convey the meaning of their work. In the passage from the novel‚ The Beet Queen‚ written by Louise Erdich‚ Erdich uses literary devices to depict the impact of the environment on the two children. The author uses imagery to describe the physical effect of the environment on the children‚ selection of detail to depict the tree’s impact on the children‚ and point of view to clearly explain the impact the environment has on the children
