    Materials & Methods Brook trout blood was used throughout our experiment as our erythrocyte suspension‚ which consisted of ten drops of fish blood in a test tube containing 10mL of 0.7% NaCl. Eleven other solutions‚ (erythritol‚ xylose‚ monacetin‚ diacetin‚ triacetin‚ urea‚ thiourea‚ glycerol‚ ethylene glycol‚ glucose and fructose) all isosmotic but not necessarily isotonic with the cytoplasm of the erythrocyte‚ were combined with a 0.2mL of well-mixed stock suspension were added to 0.27M of each

    the cells in the body. Thus‚ I decided to test my theory by adapting a class beetroot experiment to my investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of alcohol concentration on a biotic cell membrane. The human body cannot live long with damaged cells because they are the building blocks of life. Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers meaning they are composed of lipids and proteins. The membrane-bound organelle‚ vacuole‚ in a cell is accustomed to maintain structure and

    BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because

    The effect of alcohol concentration on the cell membrane Abstract: In this experiment I found out that as the concentration of the alcohol was increased so did the colour intensity of the solution. This is because the higher concentration of ethanol‚ results in more damage done to the cell membrane‚ resulting in leakage of red pigment from the cell. If the membrane is damaged more‚ more red pigment will leak out of the membrane and into the ethanol. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration

    out how the permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane. So at 10%

    Aim: Investigate the effect of different temperatures and chemicals including various pH levels‚ alcohol and detergent on the cell membrane structure as well as function. Hypothesis: Increasing the temperature and pH levels which the beetroot membrane cells are exposed to will increase the amount of dye that passes out of the membrane. Materials: Part A • Bunsen Burner‚ Tripod and a Wire Gauze • 250mL Beaker • A 100° thermometer • Matches • 10mL measuring cylinder • Sticky labels and a Pen

    stress that various alcohols have on biological membranes. Using five solutions of differing alcohol concentration for each of the three alcohols; methanol‚ ethanol‚ and 1-propanol and a small slice of beet‚ the stirred solution was placed into a plastic cuvette and then into a spectrophotometer and the absorbance of alcohol solutions were determined in order to conclude which alcohol and concentration of alcohol had the greatest effect on biological membranes. The results showed that the most non-polar

    December 2012 1. Title and Author 1. The Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis.
