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. I hypothesize that at -5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 1. I hypothesize that at 5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 2

in Table 4. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was diluted with distilled water. The absorbance of each sample were measured using spectrophotometer at 595nm. Standard protein curve was plotted according to the concentration of protein where the x-axis and y-axis represent protein standard concentration and absorbance (595 nm) respectively. 3.10.2 Protein Determination The treated and untreated samples were measured using Bradford assay. 10µl of the samples were made up to 100µl with distilled water

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s

Introduction To determine the effects of stressful experimental treatments on living membranes we are going to examine how fresh beets roots react when they are exposed to different temperatures. Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell 133). They organize specific chemicals and reactions into specific compartments within the cell. Generally‚ cell membranes consist of phospholipids

Effect of light on Silver Halide Salts Aim: To investigate the effect of sunlight and UV light on silver salts and to identify an application of this reaction. Hypothesis: The compounds exposed to sunlight (which already contains UV light) will decompose. The compounds which are not exposed to light (put in a dark place) will not decompose. Theory: Equipment: * 4 x petri dishes * 1 x glass stirring rod * 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate in a dropper bottle * 0.1 mol/L Sodium chloride

The History of the Potato Chip One of the most recognizable snack foods is the potato chip. Who can resist this thin slice of potato‚ fried into a crisp then salted? Potato chips are delicious and very popular. They satisfy the taste buds of many by hitting all the essential characteristics of a good treat. They are convenient‚ easily found‚ salty‚ greasy‚ and come in a wide variety of flavors. It is hard to believe their invention was a mistake. When George Crum‚ a Native American chef in Saratoga

Could one imagine managing life without a cell phone? Today‚ communication is available anywhere at any time in the United State. Using a cell phone is now the normal way of life. Many Americans have done away with a home phone and begun to use the cell phone as a basic source of communication. Cell phones have affected this country by providing convenient communication and saving lives. The cell phone has made communication convenient by doing away with the confinement of a corded home phone.

measure the mass of the potato strip before and after osmosis. Time should be kept constant when the potato strip is put into the solution Hypothesis: The mass of the potato strip will increase in water and dilute concentrations of sucrose depending on the concentration within the cell. When the concentration of the sucrose solution outside the cells of the potato strip will be less‚ the mass of the solution will increase as water molecules from outside will diffuse into the cell (diffusion of water

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch
