Aim: Investigate the effect of different temperatures and chemicals including various pH levels‚ alcohol and detergent on the cell membrane structure as well as function. Hypothesis: Increasing the temperature and pH levels which the beetroot membrane cells are exposed to will increase the amount of dye that passes out of the membrane. Materials: Part A • Bunsen Burner‚ Tripod and a Wire Gauze • 250mL Beaker • A 100° thermometer • Matches • 10mL measuring cylinder • Sticky labels and a Pen

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

eukaryotic organelles. ”A eukaryotic cell is sectioned by internal membranes into different functioning categories called organelles. For example‚ the nucleus houses DNA‚ the genetic component that controls the cells activities. (Boundless. “Introduction” Boundless Biology). The Cytoplasm is the material between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It has a lot of responsibilities within the cell. It contains enzymes for breaking down waste and also gives the cell its shape. The Nucleus or the brain

purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions were compared‚ a purchased control ConA solution in buffer as the positive control‚ and a purified solution of ConA in buffer

Lab Report The effect of temperature on the reaction between Catalase and H2O2 Sarah AlShemesi In this experiment we’ll be exploring the effects of temperature on the reaction between Catalase and H2O2.We’ll be using five different temperatures to test this. The five different temperatures will be 10‚ 30‚ 50‚ 70 and 90 oC. We will use the liver as a source of Catalase. A 1 gram piece of liver will be inserted into a test tube with 2 cm3 of water‚ then 2 cm3 of H2O2 will be added. The Catalase

1. Antioxidant Compounds in Red Beet Excessive formation of free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) occur as a byproduct of cellular metabolism. Free radical generation causes oxidative stress which has been associated with undesirable health effects (Valko et al.‚ 2007). Antioxidants are needed when ROS are generated inside the body‚ as the first line of defense (Lobo et al.‚ 2010). Halliwell & Gutteridge (2015) describe an antioxidant as “any substance

involves the rehydrating the cell by absorbing water. This allows the cell to become metabolically active. After water absorption‚ gibberellin is produced in the cotyledon of the seed. The enzyme gibberellin stimulates the production of amylase‚ which catalyzes the digestion of starch and converts it into maltose in the food the seed stores. Maltose is then transported to the growth regions of the seed. Maltose is converted into glucose‚ which can either be used in the cell for aerobic cellular respiration

The extreme temperatures of the water cooled to 0°C‚ and heated to 94-100°C will greatly damage the membranes. Extreme heat will be more damaging than extreme cold. The more concentrated the solvent‚ the more damage it will cause to the membranes‚ therefore the solvent of 50%
