Question

A) RINSING seals the cellular edges of all the damaged cells created by the action of cutting. cells must be intact so that the stressor absorbs the pigment and color is reduced.
B) cutting red beet plugs cell around the entire outside of the plug. pigment is released from these cells and would interfere with evalution of the color produced by each stressor.
C) rinsing the plugs after cutting allows the intact cells to absorb the most water by the process of osmosis . pigment production is enhanced by osmosis. maximum color can then be detected.
d) red beets are roots of the main plant body. by rinsing the beed plug groeth is stimulated . pigment is released when growth occurs in the rest of the plant.
E) none of the above

Explanation / Answer

B. If you are evaluating the effect of stressors based on color, you must ensure that all extracellular color has been removed from the cell sections being tested. Otherwise, you would see false positives due to pigment being on the outside of cells split open when cutting.
