permeability of the membranes of beetroot tissue Problem: To compare the denaturation of membrane of cells in the effect of mouth rinse of different brands and find out which brand of mouth rinse damages the membrane of cells most. Therefore ‚ the health risk of mouth rinse can be known. denaturation is used to describe protein only‚ not a membrane. --> destruction Hypothesis: The pigment in beetroot is permeable to the chemicals in the mouth rinse Principles: The plasma membrane is made up of

Cell structure and function Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are tow major types of cells‚ prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an

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 size may find it hard to as the semi-permeable membrane is selective to the smaller particles. This may cause a change in

solutions with varying concentrations of sodium chloride on the red blood cells of sheep by measuring the transmittance of a red blood cell/NaCl solution with a spectrometer. This is done in order to study the effects of solutions containing varying levels of tonicity to red blood cells. Tonicity describes what happens to a cell when it is placed in a certain solution. Hypertonic solutions contain a lower solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm‚ hypotonic solutions contain a higher solute concentration

Cell Membrane – The cell membrane protects the inside of the cell from outside containments‚ keeps the cell in contact and maintains its shape. This relates to mall security guards. They’re job is to protect the mall‚ make sure everything is intact and everybody is safe. Without the cell membrane‚ containments could enter‚ the security guards do the same. Without them‚ bad people or things could happen in the mall. Cell Wall – The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cells

Cell Reproduction Dr. Susan Kennedy Introduction to Biology January 28‚ 2012 Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar‚ if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store‚ retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment‚ I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction

Cell wall is a fairly rigid‚ protective and supportive layer surrounding the cell external to plasma membrane of plants‚ bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi and algae. It is absent in animals and most protists. It was first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665. It is not an entirely rigid structure as the cell wall expands due to the growth of the cell. It varies in thickness from o.1mm to I0mm.in most of the cells‚ cell wall is present from the very beginning to the last‚ but in slime molds (myxomycetes)

Cells and Movement of Substances All living things are formed by cells‚ the structure of these cells varying depending on their function. Animal and plant cells have common features such as a nucleus‚ cytoplasm and cell membrane. Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion Diffusion Diffusion definition: Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Dissolved

2.1 Cell Theory 2.1.1 Outline the cell theory The three main principles of the cell theory are: * All organisms are composed of one or more cells * Cells are the smallest units of life * All cells come from pre-existing cells New Concepts * Cells contain the blueprint for their own growth‚ development and behavior * Cells are the site of all the chemical reactions needed to sustain life * Cells (and multicellular organisms) show emergent properties – appears as complexity
