Why do we include water as one of our solutions to be tested? [Organic Molecule Lab]

Water is a negative control. Negative controls ensure that there is no effect when there should indeed be no effect.

What happens if the antibiotic is effective on antibiotic disks? (petri dish bacteria lab)

If it is effective, a ring of growth inhibition around the disk will appear. It will be clear.

What are antibiotics?

Natural or synthetic substances that kill/inhibit growth of microorganisms

What does Benedict's Test test for?

Monosaccharides -will change from blue to various colors if positive

What does this picture show?

Elastic cartilage (connective tissue)

If the magnification of your objective lens is 40x, what is the total magnification?

400x

What does Biuret's Reagent test for?

Proteins -will change from blue to purple if positive

What does this picture show?

Volvox. Notice the daughter colonies and how cells are "hanging" together.

What kingdom is the amoeba in?

Kingdom Protista

What are the four types of animal tissues?

1. epithelial tissue - body surfaces or tissues, lines body cavities, forms glands 2. connective tissue - protects/supports body and its organs 3. muscular tissue - responsible for movement 4. nervous tissue - initiates + transmits nerve impulses that coordinate body activity

What are the 3 types of mucular tissues?

1. Cardiac muscle 2. Smooth muscle 3. Skeletal muscle

There are three cell types found in epithelial tissues (a type of animal tissue). What are they?

1. Squamous cells 2. Cuboidal cells 3. Columnar cells

What does this picture show?

Columnar Cells

What does this picture show?

Motor Neuron (nervous tissue)

What does the urease experiment test for?

The effect of concentration

What does the rennin experiment test for?

Effect of temperature

Why was there no curdling in the 0 degree bath and 75 degree bath (Rennin Experiment)?

0 degrees- Brownian motion; molecules move too slowly in the cold 75 degrees- Denaturation; extreme heat makes protein lose shape

What is the optimum temperature for the enzyme Rennin and why?

37 degrees C is ideal-- body temperature

What does the enzyme urease do?

Converts urea and water to ammonia and carbon dioxide

Drops of urea are added to urease and the solution turns pink. What happened?

The pink color is a pH indicator. The solution is now basic. The release of ammonia as the reaction happens causes the solution to change from acidic to basic.

Urease Experiment: if the concentration is higher, what happens?

The reaction time is faster. The higher the [], the faster the reaction.

What does the enzyme catalase do?

Speeds up breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen

Does sand or potato contain the enzyme catalase?

Potato does contain catalase, but not sand. Sand is the control group. Macerated potato had the greatest effervescence (foaming) because when enzymes in the cube of potato were smashed, more enzymes were brought out.

What happened when you added NaOH (a strong base) to macerated potato? What about HCl (strong acid?)

There was no foaming. This is due to denaturation. The acid HCl had a + test result; minimum foaming. The neutral solution, water, was the best pH for the enzyme.

What happens during plasmolysis?

Water is sucked out of cells due to being a hypertonic environment.

What is deplasmolysis?

The reverse of plasmolysis. It returns to normal, hypotonic environment.

What diffuses faster, a large molecule or a small molecule?

Small molecule

What's the equation to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

C = 0.5(F - 32)

What's the equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

F = 1.8(C) + 32

What happens to the stomata in a HYPOTONIC environment?

It opens up.

Which solutions tested positive for monosaccharides in Benedict's Test?

Glucose Onion Juice Potato Slice

Which solutions tested positive for polysaccharides in Lugol's Test?

Starch, Potato Slice

Which solution tested positive for proteins in Biuret Test?

Egg albumin

What are the substrates and products for Rennin, Urease, and Catalase?

Rennin: Milk .... Curdling Urease: Urea .... Ammonia + CO2 Catalase: Hydrogen Peroxide .... Water + Oxygen

What is osmosis?

Diffusion of water across a selectively-permeable membrane, from an area of LOW concentration to HIGH concentration (from hypotonic to hypertonic).

What happened to the Elodea Leaf cell when plasmolysis occured?

Water was sucked out of the cell. The chloroplasts clumped together.

What's the name of the waxy layer of a leaf that prevents water loss?

Cuticle

What is Rf value?

distance pigment migrated ----------------------------------------- distance solvent migrated

What's the order of the pigments in the paper chromatography experiment, from farthest traveled to shortest?

1. Carotene (orange) 2. Xanthophylls (yellow) 3. Chlorophyll a (blue-green) 4. Chlorophyll b (yellow-green)

What are the different types of vegetation?

Forest (dense vegetation, lots of moisture) Woodland (scattered trees) \*like in Briones Savanna (grasses, some trees) Grassland (all grass) Chaparral (no trees or grass, just shrubs)

Identify the tree.
