When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into

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 a higher % absorption of light than beetroot but to diffuse at a lower

permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) 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

water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until it reaches the equilibrium state‚ which means that the water molecules will be distributed until there are no regions with high or low concentrations. Plant cells have a protective layer—called

check how much salt and sugar there is in our food‚ or check to see how much salt and sugar we supposed to consume each day. According to the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture state no more than 10% of the calories in someone’s diet should come from added sugar. The recommended diet for the average person should be about 2‚000 calories. That’s only about 40 or 48 grams of sugar. Nearly all Americans‚ no matter the age eat way too much salt without looking

falls‚ making you liable for injuries. So most people rely on deicers such as salt because it does a great job melting ice‚ but it also damages concrete surfaces over time. How does salt damage concrete surfaces? Salt lowers the pH balance in the concrete. Because it is acidic‚ it weakens the strength of the concrete and increases the sizes of the pores. This allows water and other elements to penetrate the surface. Salt also attracts and retains water‚ absorbing 10% more water into the concrete.

when there was a high concentration of sugar the mass of beetroot decreased. This happened because water moved from the inside of the beetroot‚ where there was a high water potential into the sugar solution‚ which had a lower water potential. In the other four beakers where the concentration of sugar solution was less‚ the mass of the beetroot increased. This happened because water moved from the dilute sugar solution where there was a high water potential‚ into the beetroot. The percentage increase

learned about how salt affects the freezing point of water. In my science project I wanted to see if salt affected the freezing point of water. I started by doing some experiments. My first experiment was whether tap water or salt water would freeze first. I first started by mixing up the salt water warming it for one minute and warming the tap for one minute also. My second experiment was what ice cube would melt fastest. I started by getting two bowls. Two ice cubes‚ and salt. I began by sprinkling

I considered my preliminary test as my trial for this experiment. My Hypothesis for this experiment was to found out the amount of pigment loss of beetroot when exposed to varying temperatures.
