drinking and though she is well aware of the consequences of excessive drinking. After connecting with her‚ I wanted to know if alcohol concentration in spirits would affect the cells in the body. Thus‚ I decided to test my theory by adapting a class beetroot experiment to my investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of alcohol concentration on a biotic cell membrane. The human body cannot live long with damaged cells because they are the building blocks of life. Cell membranes

Core Practical 2.8 Investigating why the colour leaks out of beetroots soaked in alcohol Planning Aim: - to investigate the effects of different concentrations of alcohol on the membrane structure of a beetroot a) Decide what you think will be the effect of alcohol on beetroot cell surface membranes and how this will affect their permeability. Write down your idea as a hypothesis that you can test‚ and support your idea with biological knowledge. Hypothesis “The greater the concentration

The effect of alcohol concentration on the cell membrane Abstract: In this experiment I found out that as the concentration of the alcohol was increased so did the colour intensity of the solution. This is because the higher concentration of ethanol‚ results in more damage done to the cell membrane‚ resulting in leakage of red pigment from the cell. If the membrane is damaged more‚ more red pigment will leak out of the membrane and into the ethanol. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration

investigated the effect of different temperatures on beetroot cell membranes (a type of plant cell). Through this experiment‚ the process of diffusion and osmosis was in action. Various temperatures ranging from low temperatures to high temperatures such as -5⁰C‚ 5⁰C‚ 30⁰C‚ 50⁰C and 80⁰C were used to investigate the temperature effects on beetroot cell membranes. The hypothesis predicted that the higher the temperature the darker the beetroot substance and the lower the temperature the least colour

Genetic code means DNA and when organisms share a univeral genetic code they share a structure of DNA. 2) How does a universal genetic code relate to the hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth?Universal Genetic code would indicate that all organisms descended from a common ancestor‚ seeing how all organsims share a

When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into

Control process Beetroot samples: The same size beetroots will be used throughout the experiment this is to ensure that the impact of the temperature on every sample will stay the same‚ i.e. if having a bigger beetroot sample less pigments will be released into the test tube at lower temperature‚ or having a smaller beetroot sample more pigment will be released into the test tube. This error will change the results of the experiment at large. Therefore it is important to insure the sample sizes

I considered my preliminary test as my trial for this experiment. My Hypothesis for this experiment was to found out the amount of pigment loss of beetroot when exposed to varying temperatures.
