We pour a drop or two of water onto one piece of paper bag and another drop of oil onto a different piece of paper bag. After a couple of minutes we identify for lipids. If the paper bag leaves an oily spot then lipids is active. Expected Results- The hypothesis of all experiments were true. Protein is in fact active when the liquid turns purple due to biuret reagent.
This was confirmed by the lab manual in page 30 which contains the list of the different Rf values by decreasing value. Introduction: Chemist use many ways of separating and determine want components are in different materials. One of this ways is by dissolving the material in solvent this will only get the mixture of components for example the spinach had to be grind up with hexane to get the organic material separated from the pigments that will be separated even further. Next using a solvent and a polar compound like alumina, the pigments separated from the organic material could be run in a column in which those will be separated even more using polarity. As a more polar solvent is use to push the different rings of pigment, these are collected in their own test tubes to then be run in a TLC which will determine the polarity using the Rf values and then comparing them to the table in the organic lab manual ones.
The red pigment present in beetroot (that was mentioned above) is Betalain, a water-soluble (thus making the pigment is suitable for diffusion into an aqueous environment) glycoside with some or all of the sugar groups removed. They can be divided into betacyanins and betaxanthins based upon their molecular structure. The betacyanin pigment of beetroot is normally stored in the vacuole of the beet root
Observing mitosis of prepared Whitefish Blastula cell slides and Calculating the time (in minutes) that each stage of Mitosis undergoes in Onion root tip prepared cell slides Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle in all plants, organisms and all living things in general. Passing genetic information from parent cells to offspring allows plants and organisms to grow and growth is vital to life. In both plants and animals the process involves the distribution of genetic material to daughter cells. The process of cell division involves two different types: mitosis and meiosis. Simply stated, Mitosis divides the nucleus of a cell to produce these two daughter cells and consists of five stages.
a) Plants produce O2 and sugars from CO2 b) Animals produce CO2 and H2O from sugars and O2 c) Plants produce O2 and sugars and animals produce CO2 and H2O d) Animals produce O2 and sugars and plants produce CO2 and H2 27. Think of the cell as a factory, in which the organelles are specialized sites of production. All cells have a power plant, the mitochondrion. Plant cells have an additional “reactor” for the production of usable energy. It is called the
To manipulate the flies, they are anesthetized using CO2 that is administered through the FlowBuddyTM device with a 5 L/min flow rate. Once immobile, the flies are examined and scored under a 10.5-45X magnification stereomicroscope. The flies are returned to the incubation chamber set at 25ºC to facilitate optimal growth conditions. The first discriminant cross, DC1, is made by crossing mutant virgin females with Curly/Plum; Dichaete/Stubble marker males. Depending on the genetic outcome of DC1, the second discriminant cross, DC2, is made by crossing female wild-type virgins with F1 males if the unknown mutation is dominant, or by crossing F1 males with mutant females if the unknown mutation is recessive.
A cell membrane is important as it encloses all the contents within a cell. The cell membrane regulates what goes into and out of the cell. It expels waste and protects the cell from viruses. It allows the cell to receive nutrients and water. 4.
Investigation into the effect of variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot. Identification of trends and patterns As the temperature was raised, more pigment leaked out of the beetroot disks, which in turn meant that less light was able to be transmitted through the liquid. For example, at 80°c the percentage light transmission through the liquid was 0%. At 20°c the percentage light transmission through the liquid was 76%. This proving the above statement.
This is referred to as division of labour of the cell (Cambridge university press 2000). Organelles are like the organs of the cell similar to what organs are to the human body, they produce one or more vital functions for the cell to survive (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The major organelles which make up the eukaryotic cell are: • Nucleus and Nuclear membrane • Mitochondrion • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum • Rough endoplasmic reticulum • Golgi apparatus • Lysosome • Chlorophlasts • Centrioles The nucleus is spherical in shape and is referred to as the brain of the cell because it contains most of the cells genetic materials i.e. chromosomes, it also controls activities that go on within the cell. The nucleus also contains one or more nucleoli which contribute to the manufacturing of ribosome’s using information from its own DNA.

Hemolysis can be wide-narrow band beta, alpha, gamma, or none. 8. candle jar in microbiology is used for anaerobiosis in which a lit candle is placed in an air tight jar and if it went out, it would be because it used up all the available oxygen. 9. any streptococcus capable of hemolyzing erythrocytes, classified as α-hemolytic type, producing a zone of greenish discoloration much smaller than the clear zone produced by
