Part 1 Part 1 of the experiment investigated the effect of different temperatures on beetroot cell membranes (a type of plant cell). Through this experiment‚ the process of diffusion and osmosis was in action. Various temperatures ranging from low temperatures to high temperatures such as -5⁰C‚ 5⁰C‚ 30⁰C‚ 50⁰C and 80⁰C were used to investigate the temperature effects on beetroot cell membranes. The hypothesis predicted that the higher the temperature the darker the beetroot substance and the lower

Gahan The Vertebrate Endocrine System in specific reference to their role in Human Menstruation‚ Ovarian and Uterine cycles Rio Summers April 2009 Word Count: 2693 The vertebrate endocrine system can be best explained as an internal body system collecting multiple organs and glands that produce and regulate hormone secretion into the bloodstream in order to control the many functions of the body. The endocrine system functions alongside the nervous and exocrine system to control and maintain growth

Bioethics on Performing Organ Donation Procedure on Alive Patients According to the U.S. Organ and Tissue Transplantation Association‚ organ donation is defined as tissue or organ removal from a deceased or living donor‚ for transplantation purposes and typically‚ organ donors give their vital organs to others after they die (Lee). In US there is substantial need for tissue and organ donors. However‚ more than 106‚000 women‚ men and children are still in need of donated organ‚ tissue and corneal transplants

Anderson was 74 and had been struggling with persistent obstructive lung condition. Anderson‚ who made it through cancer in her 30s‚ died on the exact same day that yet another Airplane member‚ Paul Kantner‚ departed. Paul Kantner died of numerous body organ failing and toxic impact days soon after a cardiac arrest. The "classic" line-up of Jefferson Airplane stayed steady from 1967 to early 1970‚ and included Marty Balin‚ Jack Casady‚ Spencer Dryden‚ Paul Kantner‚ Jorma Kaukonen and Grace Slick. The

(cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than the water potential inside the beetroot cell. I predict that

Should the sale of human organs be legalized? The sales of organs have always been the forefront of debate topics in America. When someone dies‚ his heirs own his body organs just as they own his other properties. These heirs can sell‚ give away or ignore these organs(Boudreaux‚ 2006). Some say you should be allowed to sell your organs because they are your property while others say you should not be allowed to because of morals. In America you are allowed to be an organ donor‚ which basically means

Organ Donation Living organ donation is the process through which a person donates organs or tissues that they can live without. During the past years‚ the organ shortage increased‚ which is one of the reasons why living organ donation became an option. After reading about it‚ I decided to consider the possibility of becoming a living donor. One important reason why I want to become a living donor is that the waiting list keeps growing‚ and the number of donors keeps decreasing. The amount

investigation I will be measuring the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. I will be measuring the amount of anthocyanin that will diffuse out of the beetroot. The way in which I will measure the anthocyanin is to check the light absorbency of the solution using a colorimeter. The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork borer
