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 leaves the cell with

affect the beetroot cell membrane‚ I will keep the temperature constant throughout the experiment by using a water bath and measuring the desired temperature using a thermometer. PH: I will make sure that the pH is stable (constant) and only the temperature varies this is to be done by using buffer in every test tube so as to maintain pH balance for each beetroot sample and insure that pH does not become a variable. PH is important for maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane as integral proteins

Which of the following are also found in the cell membrane: lipids‚ proteins‚ or carbohydrates? What is the role of steroids in a cell membrane? Cell membranes contain all three of the above groups‚ lipids are found abundantly in cell membranes‚ steroids are a type of lipids which helps with membrane fluidity by restricting the motion of the fatty acid tails. PROTEINS 1. Scroll down to proteins. List the six functions

Evaluation of Method and Results: Errors/ Limitations: | Suggestions for improvement: | Impact on Results: | Precision - Human error –cutting cubes freely‚ resulting in very different sized cubes‚ especially for the 1cm x 1cm x 1 cm cubes. All the cubes also had slightly

’direct ’ passage in and out of the plasma membrane ( Lacerda L.2011) Allowing some molecules enter and exit the cell membrane‚ to create a balance in concentration inside and outside of the cell‚ by doing so the cell often become hypotonic‚ where the concentration outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell‚ therefore causing the swelling of that cell. When cell was placed the the deionized water environment‚ hypothesis was made that the cell will become hypotonic and swell up as

There are many kind of cell membrane disease‚ There are : Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that cause by gene mutation of CFTR Protein. CFTR it’s stand for Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This disease causes too much production of thick mucus‚ then the mucus will blocked the ion transport in epithelial cells that line the passageways of the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and other organs. If the passageways of the lungs is blocked by the thick mucus‚ it will make the sufferer

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

Title: Mitosis and Meiosis Abstract: There are two types of nuclear division‚ mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is usually used for the growth and replacement of somotaic cells‚ while meiosis produces the gametes or spores used in an organism’s reproduction. Hypothesis: Mitosis occurs in whitefish blastula and onion root tip‚ and it is easily observable. Meiosis and crossing over occurs in the production of gametes and spores. Materials: This lab required prepared slides of whitefish blastula
