The standard curve to determine the amount of betacyanin is shown below. You extracted a red pigment from a beet disc (the mass of a disc is 2 g) using 10 ml of 20% ethanol solution. You measured absorbance of the solution above the beet disc every minute for a total time of 20 minutes. The increase in absorbance was linear during a period of time from 1 min to 10 min. The absorbance at 10 min was 0.8. Calculate the amount of betacyanin extracted from 1g of a beet tissue per minute. Explain your calculations. You can use Excel or a calculator.

1.0 ml of serum albumin (BSA) solution was precisely diluted to 100 ml with a buffer solution, and the absorbance at 280 nm was measured from this buffer solution at a distance of 1 cm from the light. The result was A=1.0. BSA is 0.1%(=0.1g/l). The absorptivity is e(0.1%)=0.667, so 1g/l solution gives an absorbance of 0.667. What was the original protein content? Report in the result unit mg/ml with an accuracy of 0.1 mg.
