Effect Of Detergent Concentration On Membrane Permeability Of Beetroot Cells Aim: To investigate how effect of Detergent Concentration (cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases, the solution will become less clear, plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than the water potential inside the beetroot cell. I predict that Osmosis will not occur (at 0% cont.) if the water potential of the sucrose solution (detergent) and the water potential of the cell's cytoplasm are equal. I also predict that an increase in detergent concentration will lead to more damage to the cell membranes, decreasing their permeability, and therefore allowing more of the pigment to...
