environment. I hypothesize that the 4ml of 50% alcohol in which the beetroot cells are submerged in would contain the most amount of pigments diffused from the beetroot cells. Osmosis‚ which is the net movement of water particles from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a selectively-permeable membrane until equilibrium is reached‚ occurs the most for the beetroot cells which are submerged in the 4ml of 50% alcohol. This is because‚ the 4ml of 50% alcohol is

Description To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. Preview TITLE The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of Beetroot cells. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. HYPOTHESIS An increase in temperature will damage and denature the permeability of plasma membrane. INTRODUCTIONS Beetroot The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant in the Chenopodiaceae family

Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Permeability of Membranes The permeability of membranes can be altered in several ways. From previous preliminary work I know that reagents‚ for example detergents and alcohol alter the arrangement of the phospholipids in the membrane allowing substances to leak out of the cell. Temperature also affects the membrane. As membranes relay on protein molecules to allow molecules to enter and leave the cell through facilitated diffusion the temperature must not exceed

The Effect of Boiling on the Rate of Aerobic Respiration of Germinating Peas Abstract Aerobic respiration is an enzyme mediated process during which glucose is used to make ATP to fuel the cells energy needs. Germination is one of such processes that make use of aerobic respiration and because certain factors can affect aerobic respiration‚ it would also affect germination. In this experiment‚ we examined the effects of boiling on the rate of aerobic respiration of germinating peas. Unboiled

to find the boiling point of the liquid and find the melting point of the solid. Procedure Boiling point: To find the boiling point of Isopropyl Alcohol I put about 1 mL of it in the test tube. Then I attached the thermometer to the test tube with a rubber band(make sure the thermometer bulb is lined up with the end of the test tube). After that I made a water bath with a beaker and put in the test tube with the thermometer. I then used a burner and a burner stand to heat up the water bath. When

Water pollution is a serious matter‚ and can be defined as a problem. Poor water quality is just another way of saying water pollution. Water pollution is when one or more substances build up in water to such an extent‚ that several problems for animals and humans develop. Rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ and other inland waters are able to naturally clean up certain amounts of the pollution by dispersing them harmlessly. Water pollution depends on the quantities: how much of the polluting substance is released

To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme controlled reaction Introduction and planning For the investigation of enzymes‚ I am going to conduct an experiment to see how temperature can affect the rate of reaction of enzymes by testing it with starch. The enzyme that we are going to use is called amylase. We are going to test this enzyme with starch. By mixing amylase and starch solutions together under different temperature conditions‚ we can record the rate of reaction by taking a

I predict that as I increase the temperature‚ the distance moved by the meniscus will also increase. I believe this will happen as aerobic respiration is taking place. This is respiration involving the consumption of oxygen gas‚ producing carbon dioxide and water‚ as shown below. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP This process allows energy to be produced in the form of ATP‚ Adenosine Triose Phosphate. This occurs by converting glucose into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate is then transported

Boiling Point Lab Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to learn about the calibration of a thermometer. In addition‚ we also investigated the boiling point of an unknown liquid to determine its identity. Chemical Responsibility: 1. Make sure to use glycerine (lubricant) and a towel to safely insert the thermometer into the rubber stopper. 2. Carefully operate the Bunsen burner and make sure to use rubber gloves when handling the boiling water of beaker 3. Always wear goggles

put in salt water? Purpose: I want to know why the egg floats in fresh water and not salt water. I want to know if the egg will float in salt water‚ Also this shows why materials float easier in saltwater and sink in freshwater. Research: Since the egg’s density is higher than the density of freshwater the egg will sink. Density is mass per unit volume‚ which means a measure of how much mater is in a certain volume. If you add enough salt the egg will float again. The salt makes the water denser
