LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different

Review 1: The Chemistry and Molecules of Life Please note that this is a general outline of some of the topics we will have discussed and are detailed in chapters 2-5 of your textbook. While this gives you an idea of some of the terms/phrases you are responsible for‚ not all the material we covered is included. You are responsible for everything discussed in class‚ but NOT for material in the book that was not addressed in lecture. Please do NOT assume that if you know the concepts/answers to the

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

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

YOU ARE PUTTING VINEGAR IN BOTH CUPS TODAY. WE WILL CHANGE TO WATER AND SYRUP TOMORROW. 4. Place a cup containing water on each egg to keep it submerged as shown below. Add more vinegar to the egg if the egg is not covered by the vinegar already in the beaker. Be careful not to overflow the vinegar. 5

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 of the

between temperature and light absorbance. The higher the temperature of the water surrounding the beetroot‚ the more coloured the water around the beetroot was. This is shown in the graph by: at 0°C‚ the water surrounding the beetroot was fairly pink and had an averaged amount of 0.074 absorbency. At 80°C‚ the water surrounding the beetroot was very pink almost red‚ and had an average of 0.982 absorbency. Conclusion The hypothesis was that beetroot left to diffuse at a higher temperature will have

spirits would affect 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

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.
