bound indicator cause the indicator ’s colour to change. Some common indicators are: universal indicator‚ phenolphthalein‚ methyl orange‚ litmus‚ bromothymol blue. However‚ there are some indicators that are found in nature in the form of plant pigments known as anthocyanins‚ which change colour over different pH ranges‚ depending on source. For example red cabbage juice will change colour to indicate pH if the solution is within the range of pH 1 - pH 12. Red beet juice will change from red to

EXPERIMENT ONE- BIOLOGY MODEL Answers TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF CHEMICALS AND TEMPERATURE ON MEMBRANE DESTRUCTION AND PERMEABILITY IN BEETROOT (Beta vulgaris) Introduction The cell membrane is made up primarily of phospholipids and proteins which contribute to its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its intact structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out. The cell

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 also surrounded by the cell membrane. If the two membranes remain intact the anthocyanin cannot escape into

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to 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

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE AND SDS CONCENTRATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF BEETROOT CELL MEMBRANES. Introduction Cellular Membranes or cell membranes are biological membranes that separate the interior of a cell from the outside environment. Cell membranes are selectively permeable to ions and some molecules and control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. (Danyk‚ 2013/14) Cell membranes separate and organize chemicals and reactions within cells by allowing selective passage

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

many women still wore cosmetics. A popular fad for women during the middle Ages was to have a pale-skinned complexion‚ which was achieved through either applying pastes of lead‚ chalk‚ or flour‚ or by bloodletting. Women would also put white lead pigment that was known as "ceruse" on their faces to appear to have pale skin. Women in the 19th century liked to be thought of as fragile ladies. They compared themselves to delicate flowers and emphasized their delicacy and

Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a 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
