Have a little read: ... Aim: To investigate the effects of temperature on the movement of pigment through beetroot cells. Plan: We will be using beetroot as the pigment is clearly visible and we will be able to use a colorimeter to measure the amount of pigment that has diffused through the plasma membrane. To make this a fair practical we will be using beetroot cylinders of the same width and length. Temperature affects the plasma membranes on the outer layers of the beetroot cylinders by giving more energy to the phospholipids making the plasma membranes more fluid. This weakens the semi-permeable membranes and increases diffusion and allows more particles in and out of the cell therefore explains the effect temperature will have on pigment movement through the cell membranes. This results in osmosis of the water into the plant cell and the cells become turgid and plasmolyzed causing the pigment to be released from the
