alcohols have on biological membranes. Membranes within cells are composed mainly of lipids and proteins and often serve to help maintain order within a cell by containing cellular materials. Different membranes have a variety of specific functions. One type of membrane-bound vacuole found in plant cells‚ the tonoplast‚ is quite large and usually contains water. In beet plants‚ this membrane-bound vacuole also contains a watersoluble red pigment‚ betacyanin‚ that gives the beet its characteristic color

Temperature effects on the growth of microorganisms Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is

investigate the effects of the increase in the enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction. By using self investigative and experimental skills‚ the experiment was done in order to determine how the rate of reaction will be altered‚ whether it will increase‚ decrease or remain constant when the different concentration of enzymes added. INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are produced naturally in plant‚ animal‚ and microbial cell. There are thousands of different enzyme can be found in any cell. Enzymes can

The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs

1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface‚ and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double‚ so at the tip of the fatty acid tails‚ there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: <br> <br>The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to

trying to find out what the concentration of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1. Temperature 2. Surface area of potato

Effects on Survivors of Concentration Camps Many people during the 1940s were put into concentration camps‚ and after getting out‚ if they did get out‚ suffered many problems. The stress and torment these people went through was pure murder (Nelken). The humans put into these concentration camps were from many different races‚ and also included the mentally retarded‚ severely handicapped‚ insane‚ and very sick people (Austin). Survivors of concentration camps faced psychological‚ spiritual‚ physical

investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as
