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.

OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure of beetroot‚ it will be

Together‚ the blocks and joins form a composite surface that can be porous and permeable while bearing traffic loads though the structure. Techniques What does porous pavement system do and not do?

Beetroot Practical 2.8 An investigation to find out whether the raise of temperature will increase the permeability of the cell membrane: The question being answered from doing this experiment is ‘How do different temperatures affect the permeability of the plasma membrane of beetroot?’ Beetroot contains red pigments called betalains‚ located within the cell vacuole. Normally the pigments cannot pass through membranes but they leak out when the beetroot is cooked or placed in alcohol. The aim

What is Cancer? All living things are comprised of a variety of cells‚ such as kidney cells‚ brain cells and skin cells. Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates‚ then begins to grow and divide. Eventually‚ these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor‚ which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs. Super Foods It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related. Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies

purple colour of Beetroots is caused by a pigment called betalain that is found within the vacuole of the beetroot cells. The pigment remains intact within the cell if the cells are not “stressed” by the external environment. In this exploration‚ two factors that affect the movement of the betalain out of the beetroot cells will be explored – surface area of the beetroot and the change in the external environment. I hypothesize that the 4ml of 50% alcohol in which the beetroot cells are submerged
