Conclusions:

Picture

  • The large vacuoles of beetroot cells contain a red pigments called betalains.
  • These  cannot normally pass through either the membrane surrounding the large vacuole or the cell membrane.
  • Heating results in betalains leaving the cells resulting in a chnge in the colour of the surrounding water.
  • The higher the temperature, the more betalains diffuse out of the cells.
Picture
  • At lower temperatures the phospholipids in the bilayer vibrate gently.
  • At higher temperatures, the phospholipids gain kinetic energy and vibrate more vigorously and this disrupts the membrane structure.
  • This can create gaps through which the betalians can diffuse and leak out of the cell.
  • The greater the heat, the greater the kinetic energy ofthe phospholipids and the more the lipid bilayer is disrupted. This leads to more openings and more betalains diffuse out of the cell into the surrounding water.

Stages in the thermocycler
Heat to 90-95°C - DENATURES/separates the DNA strands through breaking the weak hydrogen bonds
Cool to 50-55°C - ANNEALS (joins) the primers to the DNA strands
Heat to 75°C - Optimum temperature for the Taq polymerase to ELONATE the DNA strands
The cycle is repeated resulting in an exponential increase in the amount of DNA (AMPLIFICATION)
