    Control process Beetroot samples: The same size beetroots will be used throughout the experiment this is to ensure that the impact of the temperature on every sample will stay the same‚ i.e. if having a bigger beetroot sample less pigments will be released into the test tube at lower temperature‚ or having a smaller beetroot sample more pigment will be released into the test tube. This error will change the results of the experiment at large. Therefore it is important to insure the sample sizes

    testing the effect of temperature on the plasma membrane of a beetroot. I will do this by measuring the percentage light transmission using a spectrophotometer. Once I have obtained my results‚ I will justify them using scientific knowledge explaining what I have observed whilst carrying out the experiment. Factors to be controlled "« The pH concentration "« Regular use of distilled water "« Ensuring that the surface area of each piece of beetroot is the same "« Use the same volume of water "«

    investigated the effect of different temperatures on beetroot cell membranes (a type of plant cell). Through this experiment‚ the process of diffusion and osmosis was in action. Various temperatures ranging from low temperatures to high temperatures such as -5⁰C‚ 5⁰C‚ 30⁰C‚ 50⁰C and 80⁰C were used to investigate the temperature effects on beetroot cell membranes. The hypothesis predicted that the higher the temperature the darker the beetroot substance and the lower the temperature the least colour

    Planning AIM Beetroot cells contain a red pigment‚ which is stored in the cell vacuole and a vacuole membrane to prevent this leaking out of the cell surrounds it. The outer of the cell is also surrounded by a membrane‚ which again helps contain the pigment inside the cell. In this experiment I aim to find out the relationship between the leakage of red pigment from a beetroot cell and the surface area. To do this successfully I will need to alter the surface area of the beetroot cells accurately and

    The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

    Effects of Temperature on Beetroot Cell Membranes Background Information: A cell membranes is a thin structure that surrounds the whole cell. It contains the cytoplasm of a cell. The cell membrane is made up of hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. The hydrophilic region likes water‚ it is on the outside of the cell‚ the hydrophobic region is the inside of the cell where its protected from H2O. The cell membrane’s outer surface lets larger molecules into the cell. The inner surface deals

    effect of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. Since I was unfamiliar with this experiment‚ I first conducted a preliminary test. I considered my preliminary test as my trial for this experiment. My Hypothesis for this experiment was to found out the amount of pigment loss of beetroot when exposed to varying temperatures. Betalain pigment found in beetroot My method for this experiment is:- * Use a cork borer to cut about 3 cores of fresh beetroot approximately 8mm in length.

    measuring the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. I will be measuring the amount of anthocyanin that will diffuse out of the beetroot. The way in which I will measure the anthocyanin is to check the light absorbency of the solution using a colorimeter. The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork borer‚ I will slice them into

    Aim: To investigate how effect of Detergent Concentration (cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than

    water or iron. Inorganic substances can be built up into organic compounds by living organisms. All living matter is made up of small units called cells. Some organisms‚ such as bacteria‚ consist of one single cell; others‚ like human beings‚ consist of many hundreds of millions of cells‚ all functioning together to make a complete whole. All living cells‚ however simple‚ have certain characteristics which are always present. These characteristics are: * Activity * Respiration * Digestion
