Mayra Guadalupe October 29‚ 2012 The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: Cell membrane is the plasma like substance that separates different organelles and molecules within an organism. The cell membranes vital function is to permit passage of protein and enzymes through their wall. Red beets‚ also known as Beta Vulgaris has a red pigment that is located in its large central vacuoles. It is my hypothesis that if the cell membrane is to experience extreme temperatures

could be overserved that their was no physical or chemical effect on the tonoplast membrane. The alternative hypothesis in this laboratory experiment‚ was that if the beets were exposed to acetone‚ the tonoplast membrane will be able to release betacyanin a red dark color.

The results produce a graph with negative correlation‚ a curve that has a negative gradient. The graph shows that as the temperature is increased‚ the colorimeter reading is decreased.

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

The kind of proteins present in the membrane is important in controlling solute movement across the membranes. As an experimental model‚ red beet roots will be used to study membrane integrity. Red beet roots contain a large amount of a reddish betacyanin pigment‚ called betanin. This pigment is synthesized in the cytoplasm‚ and then transported across the tonoplast against its concentration gradient where it is accumulated and stored in the vacuole. In healthy cells the pigment remains in the vacuole

Background An indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added to a solution to determine its pH. It is a chemical detector for hydronium ions. The indicator changes colour to show the pH of the solution. Some indicates are not very precise and only tell us whether the solution is acidic or basic. When the indicator is added to the solution‚ they bind to hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The different electron configurations of the bound indicator cause the indicator ’s colour to change.

Carrots have vitamin A which can increase our poor vision‚ including night vision. | Beetroot | Beetroots have a circular pointed shape and its color is deep maroon red. When it is raw‚ beetroots have a crunchy texture‚ however when it is cooked‚ it turns soft and buttery. Beetroots improve blood flood‚ lower blood pressure and better stamina. | Tuber vegetables are underground plant stems that swell to store nutrients. Different
