sugar the mass of beetroot decreased. This happened because water moved from the inside of the beetroot‚ where there was a high water potential into the sugar solution‚ which had a lower water potential. In the other four beakers where the concentration of sugar solution was less‚ the mass of the beetroot increased. This happened because water moved from the dilute sugar solution where there was a high water potential‚ into the beetroot. The percentage increase in the mass of beetroot increased as the

Usman Omid Biology IB 1A The Effect of Temperature on Beetroot Membranes _Aim_ This practical will test the effect of temperature on the integrity of the membranes‚ _Introduction_ The cells of beetroot contain a pigment called betalain in their vacuoles. It is kept inside the cells by the membranes. If these membranes are damaged‚ then the betalain leaks out. The amount that leaks out can be assessed‚ as the leaked out pigment will color the water surrounding the cells. This information can

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:

Objective: To find out the food substance in food sample X‚Y and Z. Biological Principle: Test for lipids using the grease spot test Test for glucose using Clinistix paper Test for reducing sugars using Benedict’s test Test for starch using the iodine test Test for proteins using Albustix paper Test for vitamin C using DCPIP solution A control using distilled water instead of the sample should be included. Independent: different types of food samples Dependent: different types of food

Name: Siti Nur Amalina binti Mohamad Sukri Class: M12E Title: Cell Respiration and Aquatic Animal Aim: To investigate the effect of a change in the temperature of water on the respiration rate of a goldfish. Research question: Does a change in temperature of water affect the respiration rate of a goldfish? Introduction: “The goldfish is a domesticated subspecies of a carp like fish called Carassius auratus. Goldfish are usually kept as pets‚ feeding on fish food‚ algae‚ plankton and other

Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

TITLE Homeostasis –Urine Analysis OBJECTIVES 1) To know know the various urine components 2) To detect abnormal constituents 3) To get a brief introduction on clinical biochemistry INTRODUCTION Homeostasis mechanism of human body will regulate the osmotic pressure of the blood. This function is carried out by the kidneys‚ that will filter blood and produces urine through three stages: ultrafiltration‚ reabsorption and secretion. The end product of the process will produce urine

Iodine is a test for starch while Benedict’s solution is a test for reducing sugars. When solution A is tested by benidicts test‚ the clear blue solution changed to a little reddish and brick red precipitate is formed.this result show that solution A is a reducing sugar. When carried out iodine test with solution A‚ the colourless solution remain unchanged . this tell us that starch is absent is solution A. When solution B is tested with Benedicts test‚ the clear blue solution remain unchanged‚ we

To whom it may concern‚ It has come to my attention that Liam‚ a young man of 23‚ had recently been diagnosed with severe liver damage. The disease had developed from 10 years of heavy drinking and as Liam was so young the disease was obviously more susceptible. After many advanced treatments being used on him‚ the only chance of saving Liam’s life was through a liver transplant‚ but sadly Liam was refused the transplant. Liam had begun drinking
