Using this raw data, it can be determined that 0% ethanol, or no control, does not assist movement of the surrounding liquid. Without any amount of ethanol present, the colour would have come from either the cutting of the cores. This may have caused the beetroot cell to expand in size due to water moving in to try to even out the concentrations across the membrane. Despite the fact that the cores were cleaned after preparation, some release of pigment from the vacuoles would have still occurred. This would be most likely because the cutting of the core had left some cell membranes ruptured and there was still more pigment to move from the cell into the surrounding water by diffusion.
The 1% ethanol test showed the lowest out of all ethanol concentration results for the colour pigment as it gave the result of 3. The membrane was disrupted to a small amount, allowing the red pigment to be more

University of Westminster, London student Abigail Barkley took part in a similar investigation, with a purpose of “study[ing] the effect of different alcohols at various concentrations on cell membranes.” In summary, her investigation was very similar, however other forms of alcohol were tested in addition for comparison purposes. Her ethanol trials (2 trials at 5 different ethanol concentration levels) concluded that as the concentration of the ethanol solution increased, as did the colour of the solution. Hence, a greater amount of diffusion took place. Correspondingly, Vernier Software and Technology Company conducted an experiment to investigate “the direct effect of increasing concentrations of ethanol alcohol on biological membranes.” Their testing process was not as extensive, with the highest concentration trial at 40%. Nevertheless, their final results concluded that the more ethanol added to solution, the greater the extent of biological membrane
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.
The Beet Fields was written by author Gary Paulsen. This book is a reflection of the author's own life. The boy is a sixteen year old runaway; who learns through hard work and migrant labor, every day teaches him more about friendship, hunger, profanity and lust. The boy was hardworking and determined to survive. Each day brought new life lessons that he would learn.
In the second experiment with the green color, I can safely conclude that the color green in this case is very soluble and we would need longer filter paper, perhaps more time to safely separate the different colors that make up the color green.
Experiment #3: The purpose of this experiment to test the chromatography of plant pigments the alcohol test strip test will be used.
I watched the movie called Bitter Seeds in my environmental class. The movie talked about the problems in India about farming. The movie also talked about the suicide rate, how high it is compared to our country. It said that every 30 minutes, a farmer commits suicide. In India, the economy is not that great so they went with the seeds that were more expensive. The culture is completely different from ours, they celebrate Pola, which is the bull festival, they do rituals when something bad is happening. Most of the seeds were rotting and they were not getting enough water, which resulted in the seeds not germinating, eventually the plants died out and the farmers killed themselves. The people who were selling the seeds wanted more money than what it really should have cost. Banks rarely loan people any money, they had to go to a Loan shark. Loan sharks were basically thugs because they would charge the people 7% to 10% interest per month to grow seven acres. I think Indian farmers should be able to get loans from the bank at a higher percentage rate so they won't have to go to loan sharks and get ripped off.
Potassium permanganate test is performed to see the presence of alcohol in this experiment. Five solutions were tested and out of all of them, aqueous methanol and solutions 4 and 6 changed color during the test, meaning that those solutions contained alcohol. Fresh aqueous aspartame and water do not contain alcohol, which is why we saw no color change. Solutions 4 and 6 were hydrolyzed aspartame and diet soda, respectively, under different conditions, and methanol is a product of hydrolysis.
Materials used in the experiment included 5-7 g of the potato tissue, 50ml of 2.0M phosphate buffer coffee filter and guaiacol dye.
Jade Lim is young Asian student with little previous exposure to alcohol. After consuming one and a half Bacardi Breezer’s (1.5 standard drinks) she begins to feel nauseas and has a pulsating headache. It is important to understand the mechanism of action of ethanol in order to determine the potential effects on the patient. This report will investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of ethanol.
While doing an analysis of the essays regarding “The Beet Queen,” I noticed correlations between their writing an my own. Sample D started of with a question, used as a hook, which is something I can recall doing freshman year quite often. It also has a really good thesis statement, even though there is a comma missing. It would make a fine starter for an essay with a little bit of work. Sample H has more problems than Sample D, in my opinion. It uses the word “me” making the essay personal instead of analytical. It also is very generalized, there are no specific details brought in for the story. Onto Sample A, the introductory paragraph sounds choppy, like their thesis was broken into different sentences then switched around into a weird,

The increase in energy will make the molecules inside the beetroots slices to move faster. The fast movement will probably cause damage and break the cell membrane allowing the red pigment to vanish out of the cells.

The process of alcoholic fermentation begins with the use of enzymes. The enzymes begin to break down the long chains in starch molecules, a polysaccharide that consists of a large quantity of glucose molecules (C6H12O6) joined by glycosidic bonds as seen in figure 1, into single glucose molecules, a monosaccharide with six carbons and five hydroxyl groups. After the starch has become sugar, the enzymes are used once again, this time to convert the sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, CO2, as seen in figure 2 (World of Scientific Discovery, 2007). The carbon dioxide produced is released into the atmosphere, leaving water and ethanol, the alcohol, behind. Ethanol is a colorless flammable liquid with a molecular formula of C2H6O, giving it a molar mass of 46.07 grams per mole. Ethanol is also characterized by a melting point of -114°C or 159 K.
Bees are small flying insects, buzzing around with its painful stings which always make people afraid and annoyed. What generally relate with bees are their roles in pollination and producing honey and beeswax. So it seems that bees might be nothing to human as it’s easy to find substitutes for honey as flavoring. However, this perception is mistaken. Without bees, aftermath.
