Biology A - Assignment 1: Cell Membranes and Temperature Background Theory Beetroot contains betalain pigments within it’s vacuole‚ which gives it it’s purple-red colour‚ it’s this pigment which leaks out as the beetroot is heated and the cells membrane begins to break down. The practicals aim is to show the effect of temperature on the cell membrane by observing the colour change of the water the beetroot was placed in. The cell membrane is important as it controls the substances enters and

The body temperature of an average individual is 37˚ C. this temperature fluctuates depending on activities one does. A human being is in constant movement unless they are asleep. As such‚ the temperature may increase or decrease thereby varying from this average. Some of the factors that may lead to increase in the body temperature include digestion

BACTERIAL MENINGITIS BY JAY DOMANTAY JAY DOMANTAY ANATOMY 151 HERBERT MAY 11‚ 2009 BACTERIAL MENINGITIS A bacterial infection of blood poisoning in the meninges called bacterial meningitis affects toddlers‚ adolescents and young adults. The infection strikes nearly 3‚000 Americans each year‚ and 10 to 12% of those infected will die. Among those who survive‚ approximately 20 % live with permanent disabilities‚ such as brain damage‚ kidney disease‚ hearing loss or loss of limbs.(“Prevention

Transformation of Bacterial Cells with Plasmid DNA Introduction: Transformation refers to the process in which the cell integrates foreign DNA to its genetic code‚ meaning it takes the genes and incorporates them into the cell’s current DNA. Cells that can do this naturally‚ most commonly bacteria and archea‚ are known as competent. The bacteria E. coli do not have high transformation competence under normal conditions‚ but can be manipulated to produce better results using

I was testing different temperatures and how it affects the time catalase takes for it to break down peroxide. The problem that i was investigating is how does temperature affect the time it takes for catalase to break down peroxide. My independent variable for this lab was the temperature of the solution the enzyme is in. My dependent variable in this experiment was rate of reaction or the amount of time it takes to sink and rise. My hypothesis is that if the temperature is higher than 37℃‚ then

Bacterial biosensors for victual processing The biosensor research has blossomed into a mature and highly active field over the past 20 years‚ mutually in the laboratory and in the business-related district‚ attract huge attention due to the pledge of holdings for vital aspects of the human life. The wished-for work aims to engineer a capacitive biosensor‚ which will be able to perform label-free and fast electrochemically immune-detection based on very small biological samples. This

Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer while the Arctic region changes drastically up to 40 degrees between the seasons. 2. (a) Were latitude the only
