Beet Cell Lab Purpose: The purpose of this Lab was to see how much pressure or stress the beet tissue would hold. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the higher % of the solvent that the higher the colour intensity will be shown on the ph colour scale. The lower the solvent then the less colour shown. Materials: *Test Tubes (4) *Cork Borer *Beets *Water *1% Acetone *50% Acetone *1% Methanol *50% Methanol Procedure: *Cut 4 uniform cylinders of beet using a cork borer with a 5-mm

different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close to neutral. When pH was acidic or basic‚ the catecholase was less effective. Also‚ when there was a higher concentration of potato juice and a lower concentration of phosphate buffer‚ absorbance of the enzyme increased. Introduction According to Edmund J. Stellwag‚ in his article "Enzyme" an enzyme is “a catalytic protein produced by living cells.” Enzymes

Red blood cell From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia [pic] Human red blood cells (6-8μm) Red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrateorganism’s principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through thecirculatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body’scapillaries. These cells’ cytoplasm is rich in hemoglobin‚ an iron-containing biomolecule that

Abstract Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder that results from the abnormal structure of red blood cells. The peculiar shape of the red blood cell prevents the normal absorption of oxygen. This disease results from the abnormal production of hemoglobin S (HbS). Therefore‚ a mutation in this gene causes a lower supply of oxygen to the cells‚ which results in occlusion of the blood vessels. Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit

Julia Babin Ms. Bukola 11/6/2012 Bio Lab W 8 Cell Structure and Function Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells do contain a nucleus. Organisms are eukaryotic except Bacteria and Achaea. Organelles are small membranous bodies‚ each with a specific structure and function. Prokaryotes do have cytoplasm‚ which is the material bounded by a plasma membrane and cell wall. This contains ribosomes‚ small granules that coordinate the synthesis of proteins

Sickle-Cell Anemia is an inherited‚ chronic blood disease in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. When the blood cells become crescent/sickle shaped‚ they are unable to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to other cells. Also‚ these unusual “sickle” cells block blood pathways to the limbs and organs‚ limiting the amount of blood flowing throughout the body. It causes pain‚ organ damage‚ and anemia (low blood count). Unfortunately‚ however‚ when sufferers are born with this disease

will affect the beetroot cell membrane‚ I will keep the temperature constant throughout the experiment by using a water bath and measuring the desired temperature using a thermometer. PH: I will make sure that the pH is stable (constant) and only the temperature varies this is to be done by using buffer in every test tube so as to maintain pH balance for each beetroot sample and insure that pH does not become a variable. PH is important for maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane as integral
