Usman Omid Biology IB 1A The Effect of Temperature on Beetroot Membranes _Aim_ This practical will test the effect of temperature on the integrity of the membranes‚ _Introduction_ The cells of beetroot contain a pigment called betalain in their vacuoles. It is kept inside the cells by the membranes. If these membranes are damaged‚ then the betalain leaks out. The amount that leaks out can be assessed‚ as the leaked out pigment will color the water surrounding the cells. This information can

S5E1 Gaseous Diffusion 1.0 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ our objective is to find out the gas diffusion coefficient‚ D of acetone in the air. This experiment is conducted at a temperature of 50ºC and atmospheric pressure. The method that is applied to conduct this experiment is called the Winkleman method where the level of acetone (Z) is determined every 15 minutes by using a microscope. With the level of acetone being determined‚ a graph of t/L+Lo (min /mm) vs. L-Lo (mm) is plotted and the

Description To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. Preview TITLE The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of Beetroot cells. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. HYPOTHESIS An increase in temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. INTRODUCTIONS Beetroot The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant in the Chenopodiaceae family

1. Provide aim and background information 1.1 Diffusion is the process which molecules dissipate into a solution evenly over a period of time. An example is putting sugar in your coffee‚ after a while if you don ’t mix the solution‚ the sucrose will over time‚ go through the process of diffusion and be distributed throughout the coffee. Osmosis is movement of H2O molecules passing through a permeable cell membrane to the less concentrated solution‚ eventually to reach an equivalent number of molecules

As trade along the Silk Road grew‚ Chinese weavers wanted to design silks that would appeal to other cultures. (Cultural Diffusion & the Silk Route of Ancient China) Some examples of this are the silk rugs called “ The Tree of Life‚” that reflected upon the Persian culture. This rug contained the roundel animal symbol and scenes of saddled horsemen. They used thread wrapped

EXPERIMENT 5 GAS DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT OBJECTIVES: Determine the gas diffusion coefficient of acetone using the established Winkelmann’s method KEYWORDS Diffusivity‚ Gas Diffusion Coefficient‚ Winkelmann’s method OVERVIEW The knowledge of physical and chemical properties of certain materials is important because very often process engineering deal with the transformation and distribution of these materials in bulk. One such property is diffusivity. Mass transfer by diffusion takes place

The Rate of Diffusion in Different Temperatures Purpose: To see if the temperature of a solution will change the rate blue diffuses in it. This will be tested by timing how long it takes dye to diffuse in warm water‚ cold water‚ and room temperature water. Hypothesis: I think that the dye will diffuse at a faster rate in the warm water than in the cold water. I believe that the room temperature water will have the dye diffuse faster than the cold water but slower than the warm water. Variable:

Practical Assessment Planning AIM Beetroot cells contain a red pigment‚ which is stored in the cell vacuole and a vacuole membrane to prevent this leaking out of the cell surrounds it. The outer of the cell is also surrounded by a membrane‚ which again helps contain the pigment inside the cell. In this experiment I aim to find out the relationship between the leakage of red pigment from a beetroot cell and the surface area. To do this successfully I will need to alter the surface area of the beetroot

produces solid or semisolid foods with significantly lower water content. The concentration of liquid foods has three different methods; evaporation‚ membrane concentration‚ and freeze concentration. Evaporation usages gas liquid phase separation. It has the lowest capital cost and the maximum concentration for freeze concentration is more than 50 Brix. Membrane concentration can be used for separating components of foods on a molecular basis‚ where the foods are in solution and where a solution is separated

. Chemistry helps sustain bacteria by protecting the bacteria from outside organisms in the environment out and keeping the bacteria’s contents intact. The Cell Membrane: Is a phospholipid bilayer that completely surrounds a bacterial cell. Cell membrane acts as a highly selective barrier. This barrier prevents materials from diffusing into and out of the cell. This allows the cell to take up chemicals and nutrients needed for survival while keeping the cell components separated from the environment
