Effect of detergent Concentration on Membrane Permeability of Beetroots cells Aim: To add different concentration of detergents in beetroot cells and measure the intensity of colour released Hypothesis: I predict that the more concentration of detergents the more detergent molecules there are and this means that there are more chances of the extra detergent molecules being taken up by the cells membrane, increasing the betacyanins begin let out. The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipod bilayer. The phospholipid consists of hydrophilic heads, which point towards the outside environment and the cytoplasm. The hydrophobic tails repel the water and point in. Thus, the phospholipids form a bilayer that acts like a barrier between the cell and the environment (Shown below). It helps to control materials going in and out of the cell, allowing a very few molecules across it while fencing the majority of organically produced chemicals inside the cell. So...
