Biology A - 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

Investigating the effect of salt concentration in beetroot at different temperature Abstract The aim of the experiment is to find out the effect of salt concentration in a beetroot at a different temperature. The experiment will help to identify the effect of salt concentration in beetroot at different temperatures. After this‚ equipment called colorimeter will be used to take a reading for absorbency. The readings for the absorbency will be repeated three times in order to find the mean of

Independent variable: Temperature of beetroot Dependent variable: Absorbency of light Hypothesis: As temperature rises to its optimum temperature‚ the absorbency of light will increase because protein is an enzyme and will therefore be affected by temperature. This is because more beetroot dye will pass through the cell membrane and then into the distilled water. The deeper the colour of the beetroot dye‚ the higher the absorbency of light. Beetroot vacuoles have red pigments which can’t

molecules) demonstrate that there is an unbroken link between modern cells and the first primitive cells that appeared on earth. In the cells of a beetroot plant‚ a substance called anthocyanin is contained within the plasma membrane. It is anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its characteristic blue/purple colour. If a cell is damaged in a beetroot plant and the membrane is broken‚ the anthocyanin ’bleeds’ from the cells like a dye. It is this characteristic that

Temperature on Membranes Objective To investigate the effect of temperature on membrane structure Introduction Beetroot Pigments Beetroots contain Betalains which are the red pigments present in the cell vacuole. Betalains are soluble in water and they contain nitrogen. Betalains extracted from beetroot is commonly used as food dye because it is not known to cause any allergic reactions.

Beetroot Cells with High temperatures and low pH solutions Friday 15th March 2013 Abstract (50) The aim of this investigation was to study the effects of temperature and a low pH solution on beetroot cells. Introduction (200) The general belief amongst our group members was: an increase in temperature will damage the permeability of the plasma membrane. Also‚ the heat will break away the permeability. If the pH solution is 7 or greater there will be no change but the lower the pH the more proteins

BRIEF INTRODUCTION: Beetroot cells contain a red pigment stored in the cell vacuole in the membrane to prevent leaking out from the cell. In this experiment we used several solvents to calculate which one made the cell release more pigment. RESULTS: A table showing the results of the intensity of the color and the absorbance of the liquids with the different solvents. Solvent Results from colorimeter 0.001 Acid (Hydrochloric) 0.358 Ethanol 0.132 Hot water 0.984 Cold water-distilled

Hope Purpose The beetroot experiment is to investigate and understand the affect different temperatures have on cell membrane structures. Hypothesis The higher the temperature is‚ the higher the rate of absorbance of the cell membrane will be.

directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its typical colour. The whole beetroot cell is also surrounded by the cell membrane. If the two membranes remain intact the anthocyanin cannot escape into
