1a. Two reasons that the mass of the bag levels off with time include (1) equilibrium and (2) hydrostatic pressure. Equilibrium refers to the concentrations becoming equal. If there is no longer a higher concentration and lower concentration between the water and sucrose‚ osmosis can no longer take place. Osmosis can only occur when water is traveling from a higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when the bag reaches maximum capacity. Water will enter the

Why does belatin leak out of cooked Beetroot? In cooked beetroot‚ the water or food would become stained due to its leakage of betalin (the redish-purple pigment). Betalin is found in the vacuole of beetroot cell. The leakage may have been caused by something happening in the cell membrane of the beetroot – concerning the proteins embedded in the phospholipid layer. The study will require the experiment of different temperatures of water and to find out which in temperature causes the most leakage

TEMPERATURE AND SDS CONCENTRATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF BEETROOT CELL MEMBRANES. Introduction Cellular Membranes or cell membranes are biological membranes that separate the interior of a cell from the outside environment. Cell membranes are selectively permeable to ions and some molecules and control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. (Danyk‚ 2013/14) Cell membranes separate and organize chemicals and reactions within cells by allowing selective passage of materials across their

Title: The effect on temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction A cell membrane or plasma membrane is very important in protecting cells. A cell membrane is a thin layer that protects the cells. The membrane is filled with lipids and proteins. The cell membrane protects the cell from ions and molecules that enter and exit the cells. I hypothesize that at -5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 1. I hypothesize that at 5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 2

Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and

Computer Simulation of Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Passive Processes and Active Processes Introduction In this lab we will establish a difference between the two types of cell transport mechanisms and their permeability. The first type of cell transport is passive processes which are driven by concentration or pressure differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two

The cell membrane is made up of fats‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and carbohydrates‚ and is a permeable structure. However‚ this permeation is very discerning because it only lets certain things pass through it. The cell membrane has a layer of phospholipids with hydrophobic ends and hydrophilic tops. The “tails” are made out of phosphate‚ while the “heads” are made up of two strings of fatty acids. There are two layers of these phospholipids‚ called the “bilayer”‚ and the tips of each phospholipid are facing
