Methanol breaks down the structure of the beet membrane which in turn release the pigment, betcyanin, the pigment found in beet cell vacuoles that give beets their characteristic colour, and releases it. The more intense the colour you see, the greater damage that had been done on the membrane.

Why to immerse PVDF membrane in methanol?
We normally do that to activate the membrane.
How does ethanol affect cell wall?

What is the effect of heat on beetroot?
The effect of heat on beetroot is that the membrane becomes impacted. It causes the membrane to be more permeable.
What is the effect of glycerol on a cell membrane?
It interact with membrane to increase stiffness
When does betacyanin diffuse out of a cell?
betacyanin is actually encased in a membrane-bound vacuole which is encased inside the beet cell itself, so im not sure if it actually "diffuses" out but if there is an environmental change,like change in temp., pH change, salt concentration change, etc., the beet cell membrane can be damaged and the betacyanin would then leak out

Why acetone free methanol in lieshmans stain?
methanol for fixing the smear and acetone free to avoid cell membrane lysis

Is that 50 percent methanol damage membranes more or 25 percent acetone?
50% methanol will damage the membrane more than 25% acetone. we did the lab.

What effect will more cholesterol in the plasma membrane have on the membrane?
It will cause it to become rigid
What is a vegetable that rhymes with suite?
Beet
What is methanol's shape?
methanol is liquid
The effect that a neurotransmitter has on the postsynaptic membrane depends on?
kjk
What effect does methanol have on the human body?
methane must not be ingested at all times. ingestion of methane in any form causes blindness and conclusively, death. this is the reason why only ethanol can be found in our drinks as alcohol
