1 The Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Substances1 Alexander Ken Libranza Group 1 Sec. A – 1L March 6‚ 2012 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in General Biology I laboratory under Prof. Cheryl M. Talde‚ 2nd sem.‚ 2011-2012. 1 2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up‚ two cotton plugs soaked

Investigate factors affecting cell membrane permeability in beetroot. Research Question: How does variation in temperature affect the permeability of cell membranes? Background Information: In this investigation I will want to identify how variations in temperature effect the permeability through the use of a beetroot. I predict that as the temperature of the water increases so will the dispersion of the pigment. Independent Variable: The temperature of water will be increased in increments of 10oC

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

observe what effect temperature had on the permeability of the cell membrane. Introduction Located within the vacuole of beetroot cells is a red pigment call Betalains. Typically these pigments are contained within the cell vacuole by the tonoplast (vacuole membrane)‚ however When beetroot is heated these red pigments escape the vacuole. This experiment aims to explore the effect of temperature on the permeability of the cell membranes (i.e. Tonoplast). ‘The cell surface membrane is the plasma

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

Mayra Guadalupe October 29‚ 2012 The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: Cell membrane is the plasma like substance that separates different organelles and molecules within an organism. The cell membranes vital function is to permit passage of protein and enzymes through their wall. Red beets‚ also known as Beta Vulgaris has a red pigment that is located in its large central vacuoles. It is my hypothesis that if the cell membrane is to experience extreme temperatures

Experiment 2 The Cell Membrane Abstract The boundary between any cell and its environment is the plasma membrane‚ composed of a matrix of phospholipid molecules along with a number of different kinds of proteins. Membranes have different properties and a variety of functions‚ in large part determined by the specific proteins within the membrane. This experiment is designed to determine the stress that various factors‚ such as osmotic balance‚ detergents and pH‚ have on biological membranes. There are
