Agriculturally, plants can be genetically transformed to be resistant to pesticides, spoilage, and frost. In bioremediation bacteria can be transformed to be able to digest oil from oil spills. For medicinal purposes, gene therapy is being used to help people with diseases caused by defective genes. The GFP protein is a green fluorescent protein that is the source for bioluminescent jellyfish. This protein causes the jellyfish to glow in the dark.

Establishment of the Equilibrium Constant and pKa Experiment 14 Chemistry 112—Section: 532 Tanner Weyerts*—Primary Author Michael Vallon—Lab Partner Introduction This experiment involved taking bromothymol blue or the HBB indicator and gathering data on its relationship of absorbance. HBB’s reaction to the concentrations differs in blue, green, and yellow colors with respect to their basicity, neutrality, and acidity. Using the spectrophotometer, the percent transmittance is obtained and can be translated to determine the equilibrium constant and pKa. Materials and Methods Part One involved the preparation of samples for determining the percent transmittance using the spectrophotometer for Part Two. A cuvette block, four cuvettes, three 50 mL beakers, one 150 mL beaker, and one 5mL pipet were obtained.
Other tests also included in this experiment were testing for Sodium Bicarbonate, and Starch. For the testing of acids or bases I found that when mixed with Bromothymol Blue (BTB) acids would turn yellow and bases would remain blue. Starch tests were combining NaOCl and KI and when these two chemicals were combined it would turn black when encountering starch. I then tested this theory on certain foods to test for starch and found that a cracker and potato had a lot of starch. The test for Sodium Bicarbonate included mixing that with HCl.
Hypothesis: If bacteria with + pGLO plasmids that are resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin and have the gene for GFP, colonies with survive and grow on the transformation plates that have LB/ amp. In addition, + pGLO bacteria on a plate with LB/amp/ara will grow and glow green under UV light because of the inclusion of arabinose. In the control plates, -pGLO bacteria that are amp sensitive will not be able to grow on the LB/ amp plates. The other control plates with – pGLO bacteria and no ampicillin added will host a lawn of colonies. IV.
Case 9-794-022, Teaching Note 5-795-084. [B] In 1990, Xerox undertook an “Environmental Leadership Program” designed to make Xerox an industry leader in non-polluting operations, recycling, and products actually designed for the environment. This effort flowed naturally out of the system of total quality management developed at Xerox in the 1980s. Under the new program, Xerox planned to design its products for complete reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. This effort entailed a complete redesign of the company’s product-delivery system, from initial designs and materials acquisition to manufacturing, marketing, and after-sales service.
During the green revolution, the introduction of the new scientifically bread crops and uses of the new technologies were prominent worldwide. The causes of the revolution date back to the 1940s at the time of Truman's inaugural into presidency in the United States. The new crops were to help poorer countries and impacted in the Punjab state of India the role of women, traditional values, and worldwide food supply. Before the green revolution Punjab if was considered a traditional state in India with irrigation as the primary way of ensuring crop success. After the green revolution, however, they implemented the new technology and scientifically engineered seed in full stride as seen in document five.

The discovery of penicillin became a widely used medicine in the year of 1943 the required clinical trials were performed showing an effective and fastest way to treat medical wounds. though it is peculiar that one stray mold spore could have been responsible for the discovery of penicillin. so what made penicillin a special medical use? penicillin was originally discovered by French medical student named Ernest Duchesne in 1896.penicillin was then re-discovered by bacteriologist Alexander Fleming. he observed that a plate culture that contained staphylococcus had been contaminated by a blue green mold and that colonies of bacteria adjacent to the mold were being dissolved.curiously Alexander grew the mold in a pure culture and found that it produced a substance that killed a number of disease causing bacteria.
