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

There are four common themes when looking at cell injury and death. These themes include adenosine triphosphate depletion‚ oxygen derived free radicals‚ calcium alterations‚ and defects in membrane permeability. Cells are unable to properly function if they lack certain important cell factors. ATP depletion A cell needs mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate in order to function properly which is why when a cell is injured or dying‚ a common theme seen is lost or decreased ATP. ATP loss or a deduction

ANIMAL CELL PROJECT By: Jonathan Everett Science 2nd Ms. Thompson January 11‚ 2013 Have you ever heard of an animal cell? Well‚ I you haven’t it is a cell that is found in an animal that consist of multiple organelles. Each organelle has a special job that helps the cell function. This paper will help describe each organelle in the animal cell. 1. Endoplasmic Reticulum The Endoplasmic Reticulum is found in both the plant and animal

Background Information: Cell Transport When molecules move from a high to low concentration it is called moving DOWN the concentration gradient. When molecules move from a low to high concentration it is called moving AGAINST the concentration gradient. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a system‚ the system is at EQUILIBRIUM. What kind of transport DOES NOT require energy? PASSIVE What kind of transport requires energy? ACTIVE Which CELL PART provides the energy for

Cell Yell In this generation‚ people tend to speak their mind regardless of their surroundings. Thinking back to a few years ago‚ everything was private. Not too many people were broadcasting personal business in public settings. Nowadays when using public transportation services‚ it’s rather annoying to hear the next person’s conversation. What ever happen to keeping your conversation private? Privacy plays an important role in my life. Everything isn’t for everyone to hear‚ see‚ or understand

Chapter 5 Membrane Structure and Function Winter wheat is planted in the early fall‚ grows over the winter when the weather is colder‚ and is harvested in the spring. As the temperature drops from fall to winter‚ the makeup of the plasma membrane of winter wheat changes. Unsaturated fatty acids replace saturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of the membrane. Why would colder weather select for the different lipid makeup in the plasma membrane? An abstract in the Canadian Journal of Botany

[1] They are small‚ membrane bounded organelles that have at least fifty different enzymes for several metabolic reactions. [2] Their appearance is like lysosomes; however‚ their main function is oxidation reactions especially oxidation

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not be
