What is Beetroot Experiment: Temperature Effects about?
Increasing temperature causes greater absorption of blue/green light in beetroot cells. Absorption rises gradually until 40 degrees when it increases rapidly due to the cell membrane becoming more fluid as phospholipid particles vibrate faster, allowing betalain pigment to diffuse out more quickly. Between 40-60 degrees, green light absorption is even greater as proteins in the membrane start to denature, deforming and breaking the membrane to release more pigment. Absorption plateaus from 60-80 degrees bec
