Investigate factors affecting cell membrane permeability in beetroot. Research Question: How does variation in temperature affect the permeability of cell membranes? Background Information: In this investigation I will want to identify how variations in temperature effect the permeability through the use of a beetroot. I predict that as the temperature of the water increases so will the dispersion of the pigment. Independent Variable: The temperature of water will be increased in increments of 10oC

CELL ULTRASTRUCTURE CELL ULTRASTRUCTURE Cells are the smallest functional units of the body‚ (Waugh‚ A. and Grant‚ A.2010). Most cells are microscopic. The largest cell in the body is the female ovum. The erythrocyte is the smallest cell. The longest cell is the neuron. Cells group together to form tissues‚ each of which has specialised function. Different tissues group together to form organs. Organs are group together to form organ systems‚ each of which performs a particular function that

of ethanol on the permeability of beetroot cell membranes. Prediction: By exposing a membrane to a solvent‚ ethanol‚ it will increase its permeability. So the higher the concentration of the solvent‚ the more permeable the membrane will be. But if the concentration of the ethanol is beyond a certain limit‚ it may break down the cell membrane to the point where there is in fact no overall effect as the ethanol would disturb the lipids in the membrane. Therefore‚ more of the red pigment in

Surface Area Formulas In general‚ the surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object. Cube | Rectangular Prism | Prism | Sphere | Cylinder | Units Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a2" means "a squared"‚ which is the same as "a" times "a". Be careful!! Units count. Use the same units for all measurements. Examples |Surface Area of a Cube = 6 a 2

Overview Of Neuron Structural and Functional Properties and Electric Circuit Parameter Models from a Cellular Perspective. Neurons serve the purpose of receiving signals coming from neighbouring neurons; they assimilate these signals‚ and generate nerve pulses. They then conduct and transmit these nerve pulses to other neurons which are capable of receiving them. Neurons are the structural constituents of the brain. Typically‚ neurons are five to six orders of magnitude slower than silicon logic

ACTIVITY ONE- Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness

Bacteria Bacteria are microscopic organisms whose single cells have neither a membrane-enclosed nucleus nor other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Another group of microbes‚ the archaea‚ meet these criteria but are very different from the bacteria in other ways. In fact‚ there is considerable evidence that you are more closely related to the archaea than they are to the bacteria! Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals‚ but belong to a group
