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.…
Betalains, incandescent tints made using an amino acid called tyrosine, gives beets their vibrant red hue. Plants modify tyrosine by adding other molecules to create other substances, such as morphine in the opium poppies. A tyrosine-making enzyme stays on longer in beets when it is supposed to turn off after a certain amount is made. This is likely the crucial change that beets needed to develop their signature red coloring. At first, there would have been no use for the extra tyrosine. However, at a later stage in their evolutionary history, red beets developed enzymes that made use of the extra tyrosine, creating its red pigment. Research suggests that betalains may help plants weather stress and perhaps attracted pollinators with their…
In this lab, we will investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on the rate of cellular respiration in yeast. Under specific conditions, yeast will convert sucrose into glucose and then use this glucose in cellular respiration.…
Adapt a Beast: African Honeybee Africanized honey bees are already able to survive in unpredictable weather conditions. They are more evolved in this way the other species of honey bee. Africanized bees became more common than regular European honey bees. Since they can breed more quickly they became over populated.…
The permeability of a cell to solutes in an aqueous medium depends upon the physical and chemical make–up of the membrane. The maintenance of the living cell depends upon the continued presence and functioning of a selectively permeable membrane. If the nature of the membrane is changed or altered in any way, this may well affect its permeability and thus the properties of the cell of which it is a part. Irreversible changes in the permeability of the membrane usually lead to the death of the cell. In this experiment, you will study the effect of changes in environmental conditions on the permeability of living beetroot cells.…
Phat Beets Produce is a volunteer-run organization focused on making communities healthy, stable through gardens and farmers markets. Phats believe in supporting small farmers, empowering youth through growing and selling food, and organizing their communities through garden projects.…
The objective of this study was to observe how temperature disrupts the membrane function in living beet cells. One aspect of this included a comparison of the amount of betacyanin that is released in different temperature treatments. A spectrophotometer will be used to measure this variable by measuring the absorbance value of the betacyanin in solution after each treatment.…
Bee propolis is one of the most beneficial substances known to human kind. It is considered as a natural antibiotic because it performs multiple functions in human body. Bee propolis Canada is one of the most natural and purified forms of propolis on earth. Bee propolis Canada is harvested by hand and is naturally purified to gain its full potency. Bee propolis is a natural product which is created by bees as they collect a resinous sap material from forest trees and mix them with wax. All of this process of bee propolis formation is completed in hives.…
The result of this study showed that bee bread extract has a protective effect in aluminum induced anemia and it significantly ameliorates hepato-renal toxicity and reduces the elevated CRP level and monocytes and leukocytes counts encountered after aluminum exposure. Aluminum alone caused significant anemia, elevation of BUN, CRP, leukocytes and monocytes counts and liver enzymes, ALT and AST, and deceased creatinine clearance.…
Bees are amazing. They are so cool. Bees have been around almost one hundred million years. There are many different kinds of bees. Bees see flowers different from what people do. Bees live in different places. They have a head,wings,abdomen,stinger,legs,thorak mouthparts,and a antena. Bees are nifty insects.…
In my opinion, the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created, killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee. Killer bees have been in the unites states for over seventeen centuries, so people had a long time to get used to them. Killer bees are not very big organism, they are a little bit over half an inch long. Just like other bees. They are brown with a fuzzy body. Killer bees have four pairs of wings, but they do not fly very well. They are able to chase their target…
Would the average person know that a honey bees' wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, making a distinctive buzzing noise (Delaplane). There are many things that people don’t know about bees. Such as when beekeeping started, the difference between hobbyist and commercial beekeepers. There are also different types of bees, different types of honey and different uses of honey. Most people are perfectly fine never encountering a bee or knowing anything about them. A human’s first reaction to a bee is that the bee is there to harm them by stinging them. Most people that have experienced an encounter with a bee, wasp or hornet would say it wasn’t a positive encounter. Most people probably swing, swat and try to hit the insect away.…
Bees that we have do a lot for us they help us with lots.For example…
In the book “The Sunflower” the big question that one would get from reading it would be “What would you have done if you were placed in Simon’s position”. I of course not being born in the time in which the event took place would mean that I would have had different feelings and motives at the time. It would seem almost impossible for me to be able to think in the way that Simon felt during the situation that occurred, I would truly end up forgiving him for what he has done simply because of the current life that I live. Though I have been provided the information given from both sides of the argument in whether or not to forgive Karl, I believe in my good moral values that he should be given…
In field conditions, a number of abiotic stresses affect the crop plants. Abiotic factors generally disturb various cellular functions along with the complex metabolic pathways (Kassem et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2004; Popelka et al., 2004).…
