Damage of Beet Cell Membranes Caused by Different Temperatures Resulting in Betacyanin Leakage By: Trevor Sandum‚ Lab 2‚ March 9‚ 2013 Introduction: A red pigment called Betacyanin located in the vacuole of the beet cells is released when the membrane is damaged (Danyk‚ 2013). The membrane is necessary for sustainability of the cell’s life‚ it separates the cell from the outside environment‚ and is responsible for diffusion‚ exocytosis and endocytosis‚ and transport. It

Aim: Investigate the effect of different temperatures and chemicals including various pH levels‚ alcohol and detergent on the cell membrane structure as well as function. Hypothesis: Increasing the temperature and pH levels which the beetroot membrane cells are exposed to will increase the amount of dye that passes out of the membrane. Materials: Part A • Bunsen Burner‚ Tripod and a Wire Gauze • 250mL Beaker • A 100° thermometer • Matches • 10mL measuring cylinder • Sticky labels and a Pen

out will remain constant. Red beet tissue contains large amounts of betacyanin‚ a red pigment‚ located in the large internal membrane vacuoles. When the membrane is damaged‚ the pigment can cross the vacuole membrane and cell membrane. Since pigment is water soluble and not lipid soluble‚ it remains in the vacuole when the cells are healthy. If the integrity of a membrane is disrupted‚ however‚ the contents of the vacuole will spill out into the surrounding environment. This usually means the cell

manipulation and solution treatment on the Beta vulgaris craca plant cell membrane and the change of the concentration of betacyanin when placed under these various stresses Introduction: The Beta vulgaris craca plant‚ commonly referred to as the beet root contains a pigment‚ red in colour‚ called betacyanin. The betacyanin’s containment within the cells of the beet root cell relies on the stability of the plant’s membrane structure. The manipulation of the cell’s membranes through temperature change and solution

molecules can diffuse across cell membranes while some substances must be transported across the membrane by proteins. The membrane is in control of what enters and leaves the cell. However‚ certain conditions may damage the cell membrane’s structure. Beet cells‚ which are plant cells‚ have a water-soluble pigment called betacyanin‚ which is stored in its vacuole. The tonoplast‚ or the vacuole’s membrane‚ acts with the cell membrane of the cell to prevent the

Well‚ the answer to that is Robert Hooke in 1665 using a beta version of what we today call a microscope. While Hooke may have been the first one to discover cells‚ he was not correct on what went on inside of a cell. Hooke thought the cells looked like bare‚ Spartan monks with not a whole lot going on inside
