The Effect of Temperature on Solubility By Aviraj Singh Rogers 2 Background: The solubility of most solid substances is generally said to increase as the temperature of the solvent increases. However‚ some substances‚ such as ytterbium sulfate‚ do the opposite. This can be explained through the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that “in all energy exchanges‚ if no energy enters or leaves the system‚ the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state”

Damage of Beet Cell Membranes Caused by Different Temperatures Resulting in Betacyanin Leakage By: Trevor Sandum‚ Lab 2‚ March 9‚ 2013 Introduction: A red pigment called Betacyanin located in the vacuole of the beet cells is released when the membrane is damaged (Danyk‚ 2013). The membrane is necessary for sustainability of the cell’s life‚ it separates the cell from the outside environment‚ and is responsible for diffusion‚ exocytosis and endocytosis‚ and transport. It

PROCEDURE: Part A (Effect of temperature on growth) 1) 15 tubes of glucose broth are provided and one set of 3 tubes are inoculated with each of the following cultures; Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ Micrococcus luteus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The last served as control. 2) One of the three tube of each culture is incubated at each of the following temperature: * 4°C * 37°C * 55°C 3) All the tubes are incubated within 5 minutes after inoculating.

changes in enzyme function? Objective The objective of this experiment is to observe if changes in temperature will cause a disruption in enzyme function. Hypothesis If we add and boil enzyme in L-Dopa‚ then the color will become darker because the temperature will denature some of the enzymes. Variables Independent: Temperature Dependent: Color change Control: Time‚ Room temperature Jobs We were assigned different jobs to perform the experiment Janelee had two jobs because we were

I am choosing to study how the PSI (pounds per square inch) of a football is affected by the temperature. I chose to study this because I like football and I always pondered this question. I believe that this is a worthwhile question to study because these studies can help improve the game as the weather gets colder. As air cools‚ it expands‚ so when a football gets colder‚ the air inside it expands. This expansion causes the air pressure to decrease. The air pressure decreases because the molecules

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Root Membranes What is the affect of temperature on beetroot membranes? Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that as the temperature increases‚ the deeper red the beetroot water will be. At higher temperatures the proteins in the beetroot plasma membrane will denature‚ leaving holes in the membrane and allowing the red pigment in the cell sap to seep out into the water around it. Variables: Dependent-The dependent variable is the absorbency of the beetroot water

move across the cell membrane is that the carbon dioxide molecules spread out rapidly out your red blood cells down their concentration gradient to your lungs. When water molecules move freely through your cell membrane is called osmosis as we learned last unit. The reason why molecules move across the cell membrane is because they are small molecules that have no charge like oxygen which the cell membrane need to survive. So basically the molecules that move across the cell membrane are necessary

phosphorylase in particular) are affected by varying its temperature before introducing it to the substrate it will be reacting with. A catalyst (enzyme) is a substance that changes the rate of a reaction; for a reaction to take place at all‚ the enzyme must first come into contact with the substrate. Enzymes are subject to a number of factors which effect how fast they can cause a reaction with a substrate; these factors include temperature‚ pH levels‚ chemical substances and the concentration of
