on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes 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

In fact‚ it is one of the essential cellular components in animal cells. Figure 1 (NIGMS‚ 2011) Figure 2. (Medex UK‚ 2009) Cholesterol is a waxy steroid‚

The treatments include immersion in these solutions‚ and exposure to high temperature. The tissue used is from the taproot of a beetroot‚ and the effect on the membrane’s permeability assessed by the amount of pigment leakage that occurs. Hypothesis ========== I predict that the most damage to the membrane will be caused by the acid

All living cells have plasma membranes; this membrane regulates the interchange of materials between the cell and its environment. The main areas of its structure are a bilayer of phospholipids‚ and proteins. The phospholipids are responsible for the isolation

The walls of duct in the kidney respond to ADH and the cells in the walls have membrane-bound receptors for ADH‚ to which the ADH binds to these receptors and causes a chain of enzyme-controlled reactions in the cell. The completion of these reactions is inserting vesicles containing water-permeable channels (aquaporin’s) into the cell surface membrane‚ thus making walls more permeable to water. When ADH is increased in the blood flow‚ more water-permeable
