Evaluate The Effect Of Temperature On Membrane Permeability

In the cell, selective permeable plasma membranes are meant to regulate passage of materials from outside and inside the cell. These membranes are composed by phospholipid bilayers, proteins and carbohydrate. As a result of the movement occur inside and outside the cell, for this membrane to work, it follows a fluid mosaic model. There are several factors that affect the permeability of the membrane; one of the biggest factors is the different change of temperature and environment. To evaluate the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability, we tested the cells of a storage root of the common garden beet (Beta Vulgaris), this organism contains betalain pigments, composed of betacyanin and betaxanthin, that leak when the permeability
