Beet Cell Lab
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 inside diameter. Trim each cylinder to 15-mm in length.
*Place these cylinders of beet tissues in a beaker and run tap water over then for 2 minutes to wash betacyanin from the injured cells on the surface.
*Discard the slightly coloured solution,
