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

Ethanol can disrupt cell wall structure by weakening the bonds between cellulose fibers, leading to decreased cell wall integrity and potentially causing cell damage or death. Ethanol can also affect enzyme activity involved in cell wall synthesis, disrupting the normal function and maintenance of the cell wall.

Why does the crystal violent stain wash out of gram bacteria when they are decolorized in ethanol?
The crystal violet stain in Gram-positive bacteria forms a complex with the peptidoglycan layer in the cell wall, making it less permeable to decolorizer like ethanol. In Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane is disrupted by ethanol, allowing the crystal violet to be washed out during the decolorization step.
What a stiff layer of nonliving material that surrounds a plant cell?
Cell Wall
What structure around the outside of the plant cell keeps them from rupturing from too much water?
Cell Wall
What is the rigid outermost layer of the plant cell?
The cell wall surrounds plant cells.
What is the outside of a plant called?
the cell wall, or it could also be the cell membrane, the cell wall is outside the cell membrane

What protects the plants cell?
cell wall
Where is the cell wall located in an animal?
There is no cell wall in a animal cell but there is a cell wall in the plant cell.
What organelle is responsible for protecting the plant cell?
The cell wall is the organelle responsible for protecting the plant cell. It provides structure and support, as well as protection from external threats.
What is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?
The cell wall is the outer supportive structure of a plant cell. It provides rigidity and support to the cell, helping the plant maintain its shape and structure. The cell wall is made up of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that gives strength to the cell.
What does a plant cell wall and animal cell wall have in common?
An animal cell does not have a cell wall.
What is cellouse cell wall?
Cell wall made out of cellulose is the cell wall of a plant. A fungi has a cell wall composed of chitin and a bacteria has a cell wall composed of glycoprotein.
What does the cell wall do in the plant cell?
the cell wall protects the cell.
Does a human cell have a cell wall?
no a plant cell has a cell wall
What does the cell cell wall in the the plant?
the cell wall protects the cell.
What is a description of a cell wall?
A cell wall is the outter wall of a cell that is made of cellulose.
Do tapeworms have cell wall or no cell wall?
Tape worms are animals.Animals do not have a cell wall.
