independant varriable
concentartion of extracts
dependant varriable
colour of the solution compared to the colour standards
control varriable
thickness of beetroot
temperature and time in the water bath
how to control controlled varriables
use cork borer to cut the beetroot
use timer to measure time and thermometer in the water bath
how control varriables effect dependant varriables
temp being too high would denature beetroot membrane so more pigment would be released
error
not starting the timer straight away
limitations
water bath not having a precise temperature
improvements
use thermostatic water bath
what is RP4
ethanols effect on cell membrane permeability
