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

In what organelle of the beetroot cell is the pigment betacyanin found?

Within the vacuole. It is when the vacuole bursts or is damaged that the betacyanin diffuses out and therfore a red dye 'leaks' out of the beetroot


What is a betacyanin?

A betacyanin is any of the betalain pigments which appear reddish to violet.


What characteristics of beets makes them useful experimental model for studying cellular membranes?

Beets contain the pigment betacyanin in vacuoles within the cell. Any disruption of the membrane due to stress will allow the betacyanin to leak out of the cell coloring the surrounding solution. Thus, beets are a useful model system because they provide a visual readout of the degree of damage to the cell membrane.


Why does water turn purple with beets?

It's because the cell releases a pigment called betacyanin. Usually this happens when the cell membrane is degraded with hot or cold temperatures.


When is a cell most likely to diffuse into a cell when?

I believe the answer is when it is uncharged.


What will not diffuse through the cell membrane?

Glucose


Which molecule would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane?

A molecule that is too large or charged would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane.


Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex


What part allows only certain subsTances to diffuse into and out of the cell?

The cell part that allows only certain substances to diffuse into and out of the cell is called the semi permeable membrane. This allows good substances to enter the cell.


What type of compound would easily diffuse into the cell?

Small, nonpolar molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can easily diffuse into the cell membrane due to their ability to pass through the lipid bilayer. Hydrophobic compounds also diffuse across the membrane more readily than hydrophilic compounds.


Why does a cell diffuse items into the cell?

The cell needs food and water so it diffuses it to maintain health.


Do molecules must always diffuse into a cell?

not if the concentration is equal inside and outside of the cell
