Aim: To investigate how effect of Detergent Concentration (cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than

The Effect of temperature on beetroot This experiment is designed to investigate the effect of varying temperature (centigrade) on beetroot and its cells. My earlier experiment suggest that as temperature increases the integrity of the beetroot cell membrane will be destroyed and a subsequent release of beetroot pigment will be released into its surrounding milieu(in this case distilled water). In the experiment I will examine if my hypothesis (above) is correct. In order to conduct this experiment

Detergents A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with "cleaning properties in dilute solutions."[1] These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates‚ a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water‚ because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxyl (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. In most household contexts‚ the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent

General process information Detergents are manufactured using a synthetic surfactant in place of the metal fatty acid salts that are used in soaps. Most of the powder detergents have soap in their mixture of ingredients‚ however it generally functions more as a foam depressant than as a surfactant. Powder detergents are manufactured using various processes‚ such as spray drying‚ agglomeration‚ dry mixing or a combination of these. Spray Drying Process The different stages / operations performed

BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because

Thus‚ I decided to test my theory by adapting a class beetroot experiment to my investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of alcohol concentration on a biotic cell membrane. The human body cannot live long with damaged cells because they are the building blocks of life. Cell membranes

Investigating why the colour leaks out of beetroots soaked in alcohol Planning Aim: - to investigate the effects of different concentrations of alcohol on the membrane structure of a beetroot a) Decide what you think will be the effect of alcohol on beetroot cell surface membranes and how this will affect their permeability. Write down your idea as a hypothesis that you can test‚ and support your idea with biological knowledge. Hypothesis “The greater the concentration of the alcohol the more red pigments
