the role of the cell membrane in the cell by disrupting its function using temperature (Biology 107 Laboratory Manual 2014). This will improve the general understanding of optimal growing temperatures and the breakdown of the cell membrane Procedure: Betacyanin solution of a known concentration was diluted to create a dilution series‚ then placed in a spectrophotometer set to 525 nm. The absorbance of the dilution was used to create a standard curve for betacyanin. Discs of living beet roots were then

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

Testing Cell Transportation Across a Membrane Introduction Cells have the amazing ability to transport certain molecules in or out of their membrane. Some require no energy to do so (passive transport) while others require energy to be processed through (active transport). There is also the transportation of water across a membrane‚ which has its own term of osmosis. Too much of something can be taken in‚ or too little enters. This especially happens to plants‚ who require water (and sun) to live

Chemistry questions COPY AND PASTE INTO A WORD DOCUMENT 1. What information would you need to calculate the atomic mass of an atom? The atomic number‚ the number of neutrons and add the numbers together. This is the atomic mass. 2. What information would you need to determine the atomic number of an atom? The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. 3. Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons‚ 17 protons‚ and 18 neutrons what is the atomic mass of Cl? 34 4. What is the charge of the

The cell membrane is made up of fats‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and carbohydrates‚ and is a permeable structure. However‚ this permeation is very discerning because it only lets certain things pass through it. The cell membrane has a layer of phospholipids with hydrophobic ends and hydrophilic tops. The “tails” are made out of phosphate‚ while the “heads” are made up of two strings of fatty acids. There are two layers of these phospholipids‚ called the “bilayer”‚ and the tips of each phospholipid are facing

Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and
