We are trying to find how the temperature affects the rate at which
the anthocyanin pigment leaves the cells, and at what point does the
call wall melt.
Please note the two results highlighted found in "test 4" have not
been included into my results, as they are obviously anomalous.
I did the test more that once to the margin of error smaller. For the
first few times I performed the test I could have made a mistake, so
to give my results a better chance of being accurate I did the
experiment four times and took the average of the tests.
A graph of to clearly show the variation my results can be found
overleaf.
As the temperature increases the transmission reading on the colorimeter decreases. From information that I had already gathered I knew it would be around the 60°C mark to 65°C, hence which I decided to add a test at 63°C. This would help me
make a more accurate estimate at what exact temperature the cell wall
melts. My graph shows a decrease of transparency in the water between
the points of 60°C and 70°C. From this I can make the prediction that
between these two points the wall melts.
Analysis
The transparency of the water suddenly decreases between the points of
60°C and 70°C because this is when the cell wall melts. The cause of
the sudden loss of transparency is caused when the wall melts and it
allows a sudden release of the Anthocyanin pigment. So when the wall
melts the pigment is released and the transparency drops - so to find
the temperature at which the cell wall melts we just have to look for
when there is a sudden loss of transparency in the water.
My experiment shows there is a sudden loss of transparency of the
water between 6O°C and 70°C so I know that the cell wall must have
melted between these two points.
Before 60°C and after 70°C the depreciation is not as drastic as between the two points. This is because before 60°C there is no, or a very little amount of the pigment
allowed to exit the cell, which is not enough to alter the transparency in a big way - this is because up to this point the cell wall is still intact, and after 70°C because most of the pigment has already left the cell because the cell wall has melted.
Using the calorimeter, we firstly needed to calibrate the machine; to do this we took a tube of distilled water and tested it; we knew that this should measure 0 because distilled water is completely transparent. We could have done this with any known reference sample. Once we had calibrated the machine we could then test the real samples for their transparency, we tested all five of these samples a total of three times each. Between each different concentration of solution sample we had to re calibrate the machine using the distilled water again, so in total we did 20 colourimetry tests. We gained three results for each concentration of sample and then calculated an average from these three results; these are shown in the table below.
The results of this experiment are shown in the compiled student data in Table 1 below.
In the excerpt from The Beet Queen ,by Louise Erdrich, two children arrive in the town of Argus through the only means of transportation, a train. Once the pair arrive the environment immediately impacts them and is described through careful word choice and visual descriptions when mentioning what the town and children are like. As well as comparisons between between the the two children. Which all contribute to create an atmospheric feeling about the town that only Mary can endure.

Geisel’s books published under the name “Dr. Seuss,” were valued not only for their unique brand of humor but also for their contribution to the education of children. In the next half century he published nearly 50 books for children his books comind humors drawing of fantastic creatures.
The baby’s health is a main concern and in order to keep him or her healthy, mothers should breastfeed. Heather M. Kolinsky’s research proves that babies who are breastfed for at least the first six months of birth are “less likely to contract a wide range of infectious diseases.” The reason for this is because breast milk is made distinctly for the child. There are specific nutrients provided in breast milk

Ibsen reveals many things about the bourgeoisie roles of men and women of society through the play A Doll’s House. These ideals are crucial to ones overall social status. The reader can see the characters and their roles in a figurative and literal dollhouse from the title to the end of the story. The main character Nora is the focus of performing these gender roles as she takes on the role of a doll and eventually seeks self-realization and a striving purpose. She leaves behind her family to fulfill an independent journey. Ibsen helps to point out the flaws of society’s stereotypical gender roles and gives new possibilities to men and women.
Scout was the narrator of the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" (by Harper Lee). At first she didn't know a lot about Maycomb (the town they live in), the people in the town and life. Through the book she had lots of new experiences and learned a lot. This knowledge caused significant changes in her characteristics and perspective. As the novel progressed, she has grown up. She has become a better person.
the water baths I think were accurate enough but having two thermometers in each bath maybe would have helped to hold the temperature readings more accurately. We were not given any instructions either to shake or not to shake the test tubes with the coloured solutions before inserting them in the spectrophotometer to read the absorbance. By shaking each test tube a certain number of times before putting it in the spectrophotometer could have improved the accuracy of the absorbance of the solutions.
According to the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugee is a term applied to anyone who is outside his/her own country and cannot return due to the fear of being persecuted on the basis of race, religion, nationality, membership of a group or political opinion. Many “refugees” that the media and the general public refer to today are known as internally displaced persons, which are people forced to flee their homes to avoid things such as armed conflict, generalized violations of human rights or natural and non-natural disasters. These two groups are distinctly different but fall ...
...ment about how Torvald doesn’t like for her to eat them. Nora lies and says Kristine brought them too her. As Nora’s secret side is revealed, her life seems anything but perfect. As we look at the character change in Nora, we see two different sides to her. The beginning of the play reveals a woman totally dependent on her husband for everything,. It isn’t until the end of the play that she realizes she can be herself and she doesn’t have to depend on her husband. Nora realizes “that if she wants an identity as an adult that she must leave her husband’s home” (Drama for Students 112). By examining Nora, we see from Ibsen’s theme that if we ignore all the expectations the social world has for a person, our true selves can be revealed.
Henrik Ibsen published A Doll House in 1879, which was a time period of intense debate over women’s rights. Ibsen believed in the equality of people; consequently, the play displays the unjust inequality between men and women during the 19th century. Women were expected to fulfill the roles of a daughter, wife, and mother. However, to conform to the standards of the time women would repeatedly sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of men (Shahbaz). Nora attempted to fulfill the roles society expected of her, but she could not. Henrik Ibsen demonstrated how a woman has a duty to herself first by showing the negative effects of restricting women to the subservient roles of a daughter, wife, and mother in A Doll House.
Crop production relies heavily on pollinators for high yields. Animals account for the pollination of approximately 88% of plants; 68% of all global crops rely on animals (mostly insects) for pollination. Managed bees, mainly honey bees (Apis mellifera), are commonly used to provide pollination services. However, alternative native or the locally and naturally-available bees that are not formally managed may also provide significant contributions to crop pollination.
