The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

Practical Assessment Planning AIM Beetroot cells contain a red pigment‚ which is stored in the cell vacuole and a vacuole membrane to prevent this leaking out of the cell surrounds it. The outer of the cell is also surrounded by a membrane‚ which again helps contain the pigment inside the cell. In this experiment I aim to find out the relationship between the leakage of red pigment from a beetroot cell and the surface area. To do this successfully I will need to alter the surface area of the beetroot

Purpose: Examine the role of the cell membrane in the cell by disrupting its function using temperature (Biology 107 Laboratory Manual 2014). This will improve the general understanding of optimal growing temperatures and the breakdown of the cell membrane Procedure: Betacyanin solution of a known concentration was diluted to create a dilution series‚ then placed in a spectrophotometer set to 525 nm. The absorbance of the dilution was used to create a standard curve for betacyanin. Discs of living

Chapter 6 Resting Membrane Potential (RMP) What is the Resting Membrane Potential (RMP)? ELECTRIC POTENTIAL – separation of opposite charges between 2 points. (“Has the potential to do electrical work if allowed to come together!”) vs. large potential difference small potential difference Magnitude of charge separation = potential difference ** measured in volts (1 Volt

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

Evidence for and against the Davson – Danielli model of the membrane structure Analysis of evidence from electron microscopy that led to the proposal of the Davson-Danielli model 1. A lighter area sandwiched in between two darker layers 2. Proteins appear dark in electron micrographs and phospholids appear light. This appearance supports the Davson-Danielli model. 3. Proteins stain darkly‚ suggesting that the dark pattern of the cytoplasm of the red blood cell is the distribution of proteins 4

the effect of the organic solvents on the cell membrane of the beetroot Objective: To investigate the effect of different organic solvents‚ such as alcohol and paraffin oil‚ on the cell membrane of the beetroot by using the red pigments in the beetroot as indicator. Hypothesis: Organic solvents dissolve the organic matter in the cell membrane (such as phospholipids). This destroys the cell membrane‚ and the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted casing red pigments to leak out by

Biological Membrane Study: HCl‚ NaOH‚ SDS Objective and Hypothesis: The objective of this lab is to determine the effects of SDS‚ HCl‚ and NaOH on red cabbage cell membrane. Prior knowledge can tell us that the red cabbage is a red-purple color due to a pigment called anthocyanin. This is what we will be testing in the experiment. We also know that HCl is a strong acid (very low pH) and that NaOH is a strong base (very high pH). From information learned in this course (lecture/lab) we can assume
