    MATERIAL AND METHODS Stability of cell membrane using pH For the lab experiment for testing the stability of beet cell membranes using pH, many materials were used as follows. Obtaining a beet we punch out cores, using a cork borer. After washing the cores we put each one inside a separate test tube, and added a different pH solution in each one. After 3 minutes in these exposure solutions, we took the beet out with a dissecting needle. Then transferred each beet to a separate test tube containing

    BASES ON ANTHOCYANIN Pratim Patel AP Biology Period 3+4 October 22nd, 2015 INTRODUCTION Anthocyanin is a large organic molecule found in the leaves of red cabbage[1]. The effects of acids and bases onto anthocyanin was observed. This study will explain how a change in pH will effect anthocyanin. The experiment was aimed to provide insight into how anthocyanin can change in different states, and how it will react to an acid or to a base. It was hypothesized that as the pH of anthocyanin changed,

    phenotypic ratio of 3 anthocyanin positive to 1 anthocyanin negative. If the F2 generation follows Mendelian inheritance patterns, then out of 1105 plants, 828.75 will be anthocyanin positive and 276.25 will be anthocyanin negative. For the dihybrid cross we hypothesized that the F2 generation of Brassica rapa will follow Mendelian inheritance patterns and show a phenotypic ratio of 9 Anthocyanin positive dark green to 3 anthocyanin positive yellowish green to 3 anthocyanin

  • Red Cabbage Ph Indicator Lab Report

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introduction The purpose of our lab is to find the red cabbage pH indicator; you must know the acids and bases of the solution to find the indicator. Anthocyanin pigments in red cabbage can be used to determine the pH of a solution based on the color it changes to. In order to determine the pH indicator for the red cabbage you must find the pH values of those solutions from the liquid dyes, also known as the pH indicators. Literature Review Acids and Bases Acids and Bases can be very similar

    pigment that helps the plants absorb light energy and turn it into food. (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/10/1005_041008_fallfoliage.html ) In the summer you see green, but accessory pigments xanthophylls, carotene,and in some trees, anthocyanins are still there. Accessory pigments transfer light energy to chlorophyll. In trees, you do not see the pigments until the fall because they stop making chlorophyll. Like a bear, trees also hibernate in the winter. The cold weather and shorter

  • Effect Of Temperature On Beetroot

    544 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beetroot cells contain a compound called anthocyanin, which gives the beetroot its red/purple colour (Anthocyanin. 2017). The anthocyanin is contained within the vacuole in the beetroot cell. In order for it to escape the beetroot cell, the anthocyanin must pass through the membrane, the tonoplast and then through the cell-surface membrane. However, even in a healthy beetroot cell, the anthocyanin cannot get through because it is quite large. In order for the anthocyanin to pass through, beetroot cubes of

    should be observed (Brooker et al. 2014). This experiment investigated the inheritance of anthocyanin in Brassica rapa. Anthocyanin is a purple colored pigment in plants that protect tissue from stressful light conditions (Glover and Martin 2012). This experiment utilized monohybrid crosses of the Wisconsin Fast Plant variety of B. rapa with the F_1 generation having one dominant allele for anthocyanin (ANL) and one recessive allele (anl) (Kinds Plants 2014), to complete their life cycle and produce

    Effects the Movement of Pigment Through Cell Membranes Abstract The experiment below displays the effects of temperature on the pigment in uncooked beetroot cells. The pigment in beetroot cells lies within the cell vacuole and is called anthocyanin, each vacuole is surrounded by a tonoplast membrane and outside it, the cytoplasm is surrounded by the plasma membrane, therefore the foundation of this experiment lies with the temperature at which the membranes will rupture and therefore leak

    chlorophyll gradually breaks down, the colors of the more stable carotenoid (yellow/orange) and anthocyanin (red/blue/purple) pigments become visible. Some years the leaves of a particular species are bright yellow, while other years they may appear redder or even purple. Although no one can accurately predict the timing or coloration of each year's show, we do know that there is a chemical basis for it. Anthocyanins (Figure I) are responsible not only for the red and purplish colors of autumn, but also

    535 Words  | 2 Pages

    Phytochemicals are chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants that give the plant their characteristic colors, smells, or tastes. The word phytochemical literally means plant chemical, since the prefix “phyto” means "plant" in Greek. The color and smell of certain phytochemicals may be useful to the plant in attracting bees for pollination. Some phytochemicals protect plants from destructive insects and microbes. Colorful pigments in skin of fruits and vegetables protect the plant from

    Radiation has fascinated many people for decades. Radiation is the result of nuclear decay and this releases radioactive isotopes in many different forms of radiation. Some scientists have conducted experiments using plants as test subjects for radiation. Researchers at the University of Edinburg have tested the effects of cosmic radiation against the growth of spruce trees and the rings inside them. NASA also did a study on how UV-B rays affect plant life and everything that depends
