    Movement in and out of cells (4A) Shiang Chen Ting (24) Sec 313 Introduction The aim of this experiment is to explore the factors which affect the movement of materials in and out of the cells. The dark red or purple colour of Beetroots is caused by a pigment called betalain that is found within the vacuole of the beetroot cells. The pigment remains intact within the cell if the cells are not “stressed” by the external environment. In this exploration‚ two factors that affect the movement of the

    experiment I will be testing the effect of temperature on the plasma membrane of a beetroot. I will do this by measuring the percentage light transmission using a spectrophotometer. Once I have obtained my results‚ I will justify them using scientific knowledge explaining what I have observed whilst carrying out the experiment. Factors to be controlled "« The pH concentration "« Regular use of distilled water "« Ensuring that the surface area of each piece of beetroot is the same "« Use the same volume

    The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

    between temperature and light absorbance. The higher the temperature of the water surrounding the beetroot‚ the more coloured the water around the beetroot was. This is shown in the graph by: at 0°C‚ the water surrounding the beetroot was fairly pink and had an averaged amount of 0.074 absorbency. At 80°C‚ the water surrounding the beetroot was very pink almost red‚ and had an average of 0.982 absorbency. Conclusion The hypothesis was that beetroot left to diffuse at a higher temperature will have

    Effects of Temperature on Beetroot Cell Membranes Background Information: A cell membranes is a thin structure that surrounds the whole cell. It contains the cytoplasm of a cell. The cell membrane is made up of hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. The hydrophilic region likes water‚ it is on the outside of the cell‚ the hydrophobic region is the inside of the cell where its protected from H2O. The cell membrane’s outer surface lets larger molecules into the cell. The inner surface deals

    When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into

    WHY DOES THE COLOUR LEAK OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure

    will be measuring the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. I will be measuring the amount of anthocyanin that will diffuse out of the beetroot. The way in which I will measure the anthocyanin is to check the light absorbency of the solution using a colorimeter. The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork borer‚ I will slice

    Control process Beetroot samples: The same size beetroots will be used throughout the experiment this is to ensure that the impact of the temperature on every sample will stay the same‚ i.e. if having a bigger beetroot sample less pigments will be released into the test tube at lower temperature‚ or having a smaller beetroot sample more pigment will be released into the test tube. This error will change the results of the experiment at large. Therefore it is important to insure the sample sizes

    was to see whether different temperatures will affect the cell membrane‚ thus would then releases the purple pigments out of the vacuole which causes the leakage of the purplish liquid.  Background Information The outermost layer is the cell wall‚ which is present only in plant cells and is made up of a carbohydrate called cellulose and also has other protein substances embedded within it. The cell wall is a rigid layer and gives structural stability to the cell and also limits the permeability
