Why does belatin leak out of cooked Beetroot? In cooked beetroot‚ the water or food would become stained due to its leakage of betalin (the redish-purple pigment). Betalin is found in the vacuole of beetroot cell. The leakage may have been caused by something happening in the cell membrane of the beetroot – concerning the proteins embedded in the phospholipid layer. The study will require the experiment of different temperatures of water and to find out which in temperature causes the most leakage

Design Experiment to investigate the effect of the concentration of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate on the rate of photosynthesis using Cobomba plant. Aim: The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of the concentration of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3) on the rate of photosynthesis using a Cobomba plant. Hypothesis: As the concentration of NaHCO3 increases the rate of photosynthesis of the Cobomba plant should increase‚ as there is a greater presence of a carbon dioxide‚ obtained

THE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN pH ON THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYMES Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that speed up‚ and control chemical reactions within a cell and break down complex molecules into smaller ones. Some of the chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim:

Title: What is the effect of concentration of acid on the rate of diffusion in agar blocks? Aim: To investigate how the concentration affects the rate of diffusion of hydrochloric acid through agar blocks Research Question: To determine how will different concentrations (0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M) of hydrochloric acid affect the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride through agar blocks? Introduction-include prediction; information you have researched before Diffusion refers to the passive movement

Experiment 10 – Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes‚ like all catalysts‚ speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Since enzymes are proteins‚ they can be denatured in a variety of ways‚ so they are most active under mild conditions. Most enzymes have optimum activity at a neutral pH and at body temperature. Enzymes are

BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because
