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

There are different types of cheeses because there are many enzymes that are used to make the cheese‚ and also there are endless forms of molds that help age cheese giving each cheese its distinctive

The research is published in Cell Host & Microbe. “This study is the first to demonstrate that microbes can promote the absorption of dietary fats in the intestine and their subsequent metabolism in the body‚” says senior study author John Rawls of the Univ. of North Carolina. “The results underscore the complex relationship

This basic theme‚ in which the cell uses a simple small molecule in a multitude of processes‚ is typical of how relatively small biomolecules are used in living systems. Properties and metabolism of four biomolecules: amino acids‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and nucleotides and their roles in metabolism are important and aren’t recognized as much as they should be. You are aware of that our body‚ plants and other animals are made up of many chemical substances. There are certain complex organic

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% concentration the solution would be a lighter shade of red‚ with 70% concentration being the darkest shade of red. When using the colorimeter‚ the lower
