Practical 2.1- The Effect of Temperature on Membranes Objective To investigate the effect of temperature on membrane structure Introduction Beetroot Pigments Beetroots contain Betalains which are the red pigments present in the cell vacuole. Betalains are soluble in water and they contain nitrogen. Betalains extracted from beetroot is commonly used as food dye because it is not known to cause any allergic reactions.

tested the permeability of the dialysis tubing to glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine. Initially‚ glucose and starch were placed into the bag‚ and iodine outside of the bag in the beaker. We used the iodine test for the presence of starch which proved positive inside of the bag‚ and Benedict’s reagent for glucose which was positive outside of the bag. We therefore concluded that only small molecules like glucose and iodine can permeate through the bag‚ starch is too large. Introduction This lab has several

Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane. Peripheral proteins are bound to the inner or outer surface of the membrane and are easily

Experimental Laboratory Report: An investigation into the rate of osmosis Liana Gohery - 98332250 12/12/2014 Word count - ………3000……….. 1. Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of concentration gradients on the rate of osmosis. Osmosis is the cellular transport of water‚ this study was conducted to show the significance of the rate at which this occurs. Dialysis bags were filled with three different concentrations of sucrose solutions and two with water. They were

The plasma or cell membrane exhibits ability for the cell to discriminate in its chemical exchanges with its environment and this makes cell membrane fundamental to life. This property can only be possible because of the cell membrane’s selective permeability (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). The structure of the membrane can be best illustrated by the fluid mosaic model where the membrane is said to be a fluid structure with various proteins embedded in or attached to a bilayer of phospholipids (Campbell

Abstract Photosynthesis is a food making process for algae and plants. The photosynthesis process rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Experiment IV: Study of Krebs cycle using Mitochondria from Mung Bean Seedlings INTRODUCTION The mitochondria is a very important organelle in the plant cell because it carries out very important cellular reactions in the cell like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation which is how the plants produce ATP from the pyruvate produced through glycolysis (Meyer and Millar‚ 2008). Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP for the plant which is not enough for the cell to function while the Krebs cycle
