The purpose of this lab was determining the effect of surface area on the beets ability to interact with the environment. Three similar sizes of beets were assigned. Each beat was cut up into different sizes as one large piece, two smaller pieces and eight tiny pieces. All three different slices of beets were placed in their own containers and tested.…
Betalains, incandescent tints made using an amino acid called tyrosine, gives beets their vibrant red hue. Plants modify tyrosine by adding other molecules to create other substances, such as morphine in the opium poppies. A tyrosine-making enzyme stays on longer in beets when it is supposed to turn off after a certain amount is made. This is likely the crucial change that beets needed to develop their signature red coloring. At first, there would have been no use for the extra tyrosine. However, at a later stage in their evolutionary history, red beets developed enzymes that made use of the extra tyrosine, creating its red pigment. Research suggests that betalains may help plants weather stress and perhaps attracted pollinators with their…
Adapt a Beast: African Honeybee Africanized honey bees are already able to survive in unpredictable weather conditions. They are more evolved in this way the other species of honey bee. Africanized bees became more common than regular European honey bees. Since they can breed more quickly they became over populated.…
In this lab, we will investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on the rate of cellular respiration in yeast. Under specific conditions, yeast will convert sucrose into glucose and then use this glucose in cellular respiration.…
The permeability of a cell to solutes in an aqueous medium depends upon the physical and chemical make–up of the membrane. The maintenance of the living cell depends upon the continued presence and functioning of a selectively permeable membrane. If the nature of the membrane is changed or altered in any way, this may well affect its permeability and thus the properties of the cell of which it is a part. Irreversible changes in the permeability of the membrane usually lead to the death of the cell. In this experiment, you will study the effect of changes in environmental conditions on the permeability of living beetroot cells.…
Bees are amazing. They are so cool. Bees have been around almost one hundred million years. There are many different kinds of bees. Bees see flowers different from what people do. Bees live in different places. They have a head,wings,abdomen,stinger,legs,thorak mouthparts,and a antena. Bees are nifty insects.…
The objective of this study was to observe how temperature disrupts the membrane function in living beet cells. One aspect of this included a comparison of the amount of betacyanin that is released in different temperature treatments. A spectrophotometer will be used to measure this variable by measuring the absorbance value of the betacyanin in solution after each treatment.…
In my opinion, the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created, killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee. Killer bees have been in the unites states for over seventeen centuries, so people had a long time to get used to them. Killer bees are not very big organism, they are a little bit over half an inch long. Just like other bees. They are brown with a fuzzy body. Killer bees have four pairs of wings, but they do not fly very well. They are able to chase their target…
Did you ever wish that the bee that has been bothering you while you’re doing yard work would just get eaten by something? Well there is a solution, the Rainbow Bee-Eater, it will not only do the job but it will do it in fashion. With its bluish-green feathers with dashes of yellow and long slender bill, you could see them right now… if you went to Australia that is.…
The bee eater lives in grass lands and open forest. The bee eater eats honeybee bees and flying incest. The bird has a long curved beak and bright green plumage. The conversation status is least concerning. Its skin type is feathers.…
Bees that we have do a lot for us they help us with lots.For example…
In the book “The Sunflower” the big question that one would get from reading it would be “What would you have done if you were placed in Simon’s position”. I of course not being born in the time in which the event took place would mean that I would have had different feelings and motives at the time. It would seem almost impossible for me to be able to think in the way that Simon felt during the situation that occurred, I would truly end up forgiving him for what he has done simply because of the current life that I live. Though I have been provided the information given from both sides of the argument in whether or not to forgive Karl, I believe in my good moral values that he should be given…
It is so difficult to give up everything, you have been working for so many years on, while establishing yourself with the particular career, family and social circles. Quite possibly, you are very successful at it too and, even you were acting as a wrong gender, which makes a path to success that much more difficult. What you have to ask yourself, right now: are you happy? Are you truly happy to wake up every morning and put on the clothes of your acted gender, go and perform a job for purely materialistic reasons? Please ask yourself these questions, and, surely, you will know the answer in your heart. I know, I did. And I realized, unfortunately, way too late, that most of us are bound to become "a gray mass of working bees", who perform…
Phat Beets Produce is a volunteer-run organization focused on making communities healthy, stable through gardens and farmers markets. Phats believe in supporting small farmers, empowering youth through growing and selling food, and organizing their communities through garden projects.…
In field conditions, a number of abiotic stresses affect the crop plants. Abiotic factors generally disturb various cellular functions along with the complex metabolic pathways (Kassem et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2004; Popelka et al., 2004).…
