Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

December 2012 1. Title and Author 1. The Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis.

of the plasma membrane found within and around all cells’ The plasma membrane surrounds all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded organelles whereas prokaryotic cells do not. The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell cytoplasm and the environment. Its function are to allow different environments to be established inside and outside the cell. It also controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The cell surface membrane which surrounds

Beet Lab By: Sumeet Grewal Purpose: 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. Observation: While the lab was going on‚ it was noticed the tiny pieces of beet were doing the best while the

I predict that as the temperature is raised the number of molecules that are able to leave the cell and come into the solution will increase‚ however I think that there will be appoint at which the amount of molecules coming out will remain constant. Red beet tissue contains large amounts of betacyanin‚ a red pigment‚ located in the large internal membrane vacuoles. When the membrane is damaged‚ the pigment can cross the vacuole membrane and cell membrane. Since pigment is water soluble and not

process can be affected by several variables; one of the most notable variables is the temperature of the plant’s environment. Previous study has led me to conclude that when the temperature of the plants’ environment is low‚ the rate of photosynthesis is also low because the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis are not able to absorb as much heat energy and in turn will move slower. In contrast‚ if the temperature of the plant’s environment increases‚ the rate of photosynthesis will also increase

concentration of substrate (H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme (catalase)? Theory The higher the substrate concentration the more quickly product is produced (rate of reaction increases) until enzyme saturation is reached at which time more substrate has no further effect. Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs
