The Effects of Various Chemicals and Temperature on Membrane Permeability of Beetroot Name: Ghazal Daneshfar E-mail: GDANES200@caledonian.ac.uk Student ID: S1312108 INTRODUCTION The cell membrane consists of mostly phospholipids and proteins which gives the cell its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its whole structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out

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

sucrose‚ sodium hydroxide‚ hydrochloric acid‚ ethanol and boiled water. The treatments include immersion in these solutions‚ and exposure to high temperature. The tissue used is from the taproot of a beetroot‚ and the effect on the membrane’s permeability assessed by the amount of pigment leakage that occurs. Hypothesis ========== I predict that the most damage to the membrane will be caused by the acid or the boiling water. I think that this will happen because generally

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.

Temperature on Membranes Objective To investigate the effect of temperature on membrane structure Introduction Beetroot Pigments Beetroots contain Betalains which are the red pigments present in the cell vacuole. Betalains are soluble in water and they contain nitrogen. Betalains extracted from beetroot is commonly used as food dye because it is not known to cause any allergic reactions.

HYPOTHESIS An increase in temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. INTRODUCTIONS Beetroot The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant in the Chenopodiaceae family. It is best known in its numerous cultivated varieties‚ the most well known of which is probably the red or purple root vegetable known as the beetroot or garden beet

this practical was to observe what effect temperature had on the permeability of the cell membrane. Introduction Located within the vacuole of beetroot cells is a red pigment call Betalains. Typically these pigments are contained within the cell vacuole by the tonoplast (vacuole membrane)‚ however When beetroot is heated these red pigments escape the vacuole. This experiment aims to explore the effect of temperature on the permeability of the cell membranes (i.e. Tonoplast). ‘The cell surface

Beetroot Cells with High temperatures and low pH solutions Friday 15th March 2013 Abstract (50) The aim of this investigation was to study the effects of temperature and a low pH solution on beetroot cells. Introduction (200) The general belief amongst our group members was: an increase in temperature will damage the permeability of the plasma membrane. Also‚ the heat will break away the permeability. If the pH solution is 7 or greater there will be no change but the lower the pH the more proteins

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.

The effect of temperature on the permeability of cell membranes Introduction For my coursework‚ I intend to assess how temperature affects the plasma membrane of a cell. For this I will use the cell of a beetroot. Background What is a cell membrane? The cell membrane‚ also called the plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer which is the surface of all cells that surrounds the cytoplasm. The membrane is called a bilayer as it has a double layer of phospholipids. Within the cell membrane
