effect temperature on permeability of membrane
Description
To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane.
Preview
TITLE
The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of Beetroot cells.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane.
HYPOTHESIS
An increase in temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane.
INTRODUCTIONS
Beetroot
The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant in the Chenopodiaceae family. It is best known in its numerous cultivated varieties, the most well known of which is probably the red or purple root vegetable known as the beetroot or garden beet. However, other cultivated varieties include the leaf vegetables chardand spinach beet, as well as the root vegetables sugar beet, which is important in the production of table sugar, and mangelwurzel, which is a fodder crop. Three subspecies are typically recognised. All cultivated varieties fall into the subspecies Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, while Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima, commonly known as the sea beet, is the wild ancestor of these and is found throughout the Mediterranean, the Atlantic coast of Europe, the Near East, andIndia. A second wild subspecies, Beta vulgaris subsp. adanensis, occurs from Greece to Syria.
Beetroot cells like any other eukaryotic cells have many types of cell organelle present. Some of these organelles are bounded by a single membrane, e.g. lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles; some are bounded by two membranes (an envelope), e.g. nucleus, mitochondrion. Beetroot appears as a dark red/ purple colour and this is caused by the betalain pigment, which is contained within the vacuole of beetroot cells. In order for the betalain to leave the cell it needs to pass through 2 different membranes; the membrane bounding the vacuole and the membrane enclosing the cell. Betalain pigments, named after the Red beet (Beta vulgaris). They replace anthocyanins in plants of the order
