RBC rupture; Hypotonic |
|
Turgidity |
State of being turgid or swollen |
|
Crenation |
RBC shrink; hypertonic |
|

|
Plasmolysis |
Plant cell membrane shrinks or may be destroyed |
|
Head part |
Hydrophilic |
|
Causes the rapid darkening (usually browning) of fruits and vegetables after they have been peeled, slice or cut |
Enzymatic activity |
|
2 mechanisms of brown color |
1. Oxygen from the air 2. From the intercellular spaces within the tissues with the cut surface that contains phenoloxidases (PPO) and phenolic compounds as suitable substrates |
|
2 undesirable changes produced in enzymatic activity |
1. Darkening of the cut surface of fruits and vegetables 2. Deterioration of flavor, odor and nutritive value |
|
The methods of preventing most commonly practiced concentrates on the __ and __ because the elimination of the substrate (phenolic compounds) is not practical |
Enzyme and oxygen |
|
2 principals of enzymatic browning |
1. Inactivation of the enzyme (PPO) 2. Minimizing contact with oxygen |
|
3 inactivation of the enzyme (PPO) |
1. Blanching 2. Use of inhibitors 3. Lowering of pH |
|
2 minimizing contact with oxygen |
1. Use of syrup 2. Use of antioxidant such as ascorbic acid and sulfur dioxide |
|
2 procedures in enzymatic activity |
1. Preparation of soaking solutions 2. Preparation of samples |
|
5 steps in preparation of soaking solution |
1. Ascorbic acid (0.5%) solution Pulverize commercial ascorbic acid tablet. Dissolve 0.2g ascorbic acid tablet and dissolve in 40ml of hot water. Cool the solution 2. Syrup Add 20g of sugar in 40ml of water. Heat mixture until thick mixture is formed. 3. Salt solution Dissolve 20g of salt in 40ml water 4. Calamansi Squeeze juice from calamansi 5. Plain water 50ml |
|
6 steps in preparation of sample |
1. Wash and dry the fruit and vegetable samples 2. Peel and/or cut (about 1cm thick) 12 slices of each sample 3. Immediately after slicing, dip two slices each into the 5 soaking solutions prepared. Make sure that both sides have been soaked. The 2 extra slices will be used for the control 4. After 1 minute of soaking, remove the slices 5. Arrange the slices on a plastic plate and label to indicate the soaking solution used in each case. Do not cover. Allow to remain exposed to air for around 45 minutes 6. Compare the appearance or the presence of surface browning in each sample |
|
Meaning of pH |
Potential hydrogen |
|
4 reagents used in pH |
1. 0.1M sodium acetate 2. 0.1M acetic acid 3. 0.1M HCl 4. 0.1M NaOH |
|
3 indicators used in pH |
1. Phenolpthalein 2. Congo red 3. Methylene blue |
|
Used to measure pH |
pH meter |
|
Solutions that maintain a relatively constant pH when an acid or base is added |
Buffer |
|
3 components of buffer |
1. Acetic acid 2. Pyridine 3. Ammonia |
|
Is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution |
pH |
|
Head part |
Hydrophilic |
|
Tail part |
Hydrophobic |
|
It is used to determine what ions came out from the dialyzing bag |
AgNO3 |
|
Is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell |
Cell membrane (plasma membrane) |
|
4 compositions of a cell membrane |
1. Phospholipids - a lipid of glycerol, fatty and acid tails, and a phosphate based head group 2. Cholesterol - it maintains the fluidity of cell surface membrane 3. Proteins - helps in providing the support and shape to the cell 4. Glycolipids - help cell to recognize other cells of the body |
|
Is any biological or synthetic membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while restricting others |
Semi-permeable membrane |
|
2 transport systems in biological membrane |
1. Active transport 2. Passive transport |
|
Movement of material against a concentration gradient (low to high) |
Active transport |
|
Movement of material along a concentration gradient (high to low) |
Passive transport |
|
5 factors that promote osmosis |
1. Temperature 2. Surface area 3. Difference in water potential 4. Pressure 5. Light and dark |
|
Difference between diffusion and osmosis |
Diffusion can occur in any mixture even when two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis exclusively occurs across a semi-permeable membrane |
|
Requires same osmotic pressure |
Isotonic |
|
Requires higher osmotic pressure |
Hypertonic |
|
Requires lower osmotic pressure |
Hypotonic |
