The effect of temperature on the permeability of cell membranes Introduction For my coursework‚ I intend to assess how temperature affects the plasma membrane of a cell. For this I will use the cell of a beetroot. Background What is a cell membrane? The cell membrane‚ also called the plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer which is the surface of all cells that surrounds the cytoplasm. The membrane is called a bilayer as it has a double layer of phospholipids. Within the cell membrane

Abstract In this lab‚ we tested the effects of temperature on fungal amylase and bacterial amylase (Aspergillus oryzae and Bascillus Licheniformis). We used 4 different temperatures in Celsius 0‚ 23‚ 58‚ and 89 for both fungal and amylase. For 10 minutes‚ every 2 minutes we would use 3 drops of each amylase and mix it with iodine to observe the presence of starch at each temperature. We conducted this experiment for both bacterial and fungal amylase. Results were reached based on the color of the

There are more than one forms of fermentation; yeast fermentation is probably the most common method. This process is used in many everyday products today. Yeast was first discovered in 1676‚ but was used before. It has also led to numerous scientific advances. Yeast expands‚ especially well with a good amount of sugar‚ the more of the amount the greater it expands. Yeast is a single-celled organism‚ a fungus to be more specific. They consume carbohydrates‚ mainly sugars‚ and produce carbon dioxide

gas exchange. The deoxygenated blood is returned to the right side of the heart. Strenuous exercise causes a dramatic increase in blood flow to skeletal muscles that depend on the red blood cells to bring them the oxygen necessary for cellular respiration ‚ which is the quantity of blood pumped from one’s heart and clinically measured per minute. There are several points in the body where the heart rate may be taken‚ but it is read clinically at the wrist over the radial artery. Cardiac output

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the
