| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What 7 pieces of apparatus do we need for this experiment? | 1. Beetroots 2. Knife 3. Cutting board 4. Ruler 5. Test tubes 6. Water baths 7. Stopwatch |
| How many test tubes do we put beetroot in? | 2 |
| What is the difference between the two test tubes we use? | One is at room temperature, one is heated in a water bath at 90 degrees |
| Does more pigment leak out of the room temperature test tube or the 90 degrees test tube? Why? | The 90 degrees test tube, as the cell membrane of the beetroot is damaged, allowing more pigment to leak out |
| What 2 factors do we control in this experiment? | 1. Volume of water used 2. Dimensions of each beetroot |
