Investigating the effect of salt concentration in beetroot at different temperature Abstract The aim of the experiment is to find out the effect of salt concentration in a beetroot at a different temperature. The experiment will help to identify the effect of salt concentration in beetroot at different temperatures. After this‚ equipment called colorimeter will be used to take a reading for absorbency. The readings for the absorbency will be repeated three times in order to find the mean of

CORE PRACTICAL ONE Describe how the effect of caffeine on heart rate in Daphnia can be investigated practically‚ and discuss whether there are ethical issues in the use of invertebrates. Daphnia‚ the water flea‚ is a small freshwater crustacean which lacks physiological methods of maintaining a constant body temperature. This means that if the environmental temperature changes‚ its body temperature does so too and its metabolic rate will be expected to rise or fall accordingly. So the temperature

solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in size may find it hard to as the semi-permeable membrane is selective to the smaller particles. This

effects on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its typical colour. The whole beetroot cell is

Hope Purpose The beetroot experiment is to investigate and understand the affect different temperatures have on cell membrane structures. Hypothesis The higher the temperature is‚ the higher the rate of absorbance of the cell membrane will be. Variables Controlled Variables | Independent Variables | Dependent Variables | The length of the beetroot placed into the test tube. | The temperature of the water bath. | The absorbance of the cell membrane of the beetroot. | Time placed into

The results produce a graph with negative correlation‚ a curve that has a negative gradient. The graph shows that as the temperature is increased‚ the colorimeter reading is decreased. The structure of my results proves my

control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus‚ this is what will happen. Teacher’s instructions:
