Q

water dropper/eye dropper

Study These Flashcards
A
  • if one needs water or any liquids in small quantities
  • example: wet slide under microscope
25
flint lighter
- used to light a bunsen burner by producing a SPARK - flint is rubbed against rough steel surface
26
Safety goggles
- always wear goggles while conducting any experiment - small vents on side to prevent fogging - protect eyes - wear during experiment
27
hot plate
- heat substances over long period of time -ceramic top, good conductor of heat -never heat aluminum
28
oil lamp
- used as source of light during long duration of time - has a wick and rounded bottle with oil
29
petri plate
- shallow, cylindrical glass plates - bacteria and fungi and be cultured on bottom half using growth media
30
incubator
- the incubator is used to culture bacteria, fungi, other types of cells -temperature and humidity and can controlled - once organism is transferred to petri plate, the incubator is where it multiplies and reproduces
31
inoculation needle or loop
- thin aluminum handle and twisted loop - heat resistant nichrome - used to transfer bacteria from petri plate to petri plate, or to glass slide
32
pipette
- used to precisely measure the volume of liquid - draws in and releases liquid -come in various sizes, mL
33
pipette pump
-used with pipette -suction wheel and release button - draw in liquid into pipette, release button used to release liquid
34
rubber stopper
- used to prevent gasses from leaving a test tube, erlenmeyer flask, or a round bottom flask - also used to collect steam when boiling water
35
bacteria spreader
- made of aluminum - transfer bacteria or fungi from one petri dish to another
36
triple beam balance
- measure the mass of an object - four beams that can be used to measure mass of substance, up to 200 grams, 100 grams, 10 grams, 1 gram - capacity to measure up to 311 grams
37
water bath
- used to keep substances warm over a long period of time - usually in a container in the warm bath
38
test tube clamp
- hold a test tube on a stand - test tube attached to the rod of the stand, and the test tube is clamped to the test tube clamp
39
clothespin
- used to hold a glass slide over a fixed flame or excess stain needs to be removed
40
test tube holder
- made of firm wire - has flexible handle which when squeezed open holds the other end where a test tube is fastened
41
glass slide and cover slip
- - used to place an object under compound microscope - thin transparent glass cover is cover slip, keeps objects away from microscope lens
42
thistle tube
- made of glass -hollow long tube, opening at one end, bulb at the other - used to study diffusion and osmosis
43
labquest mini interface
- the interface translates censored data from the censor for graphing and analysis software from computer
44
probes
- measure physical quantities with consistent and high quality results - each sensor is individually calibrated - types of sensors: co2, o2, pressure, ph, temperature
45
micropipettes
- used to measure and transfer small amounts of liquids
46
gel electrophoresis
- used to separate charged molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins
47
centrifuge
- rapidly rotating machine used to separate particles suspended in liquids of different densities
48
thermal cycler
-machine used to amplify DNA polymerase chain reaction - PCR is a technique used to multiply copies of DNA sequences
49
micropipette tips
- used along with micropipette used to measure very small quantities of liquids -tips hold the measured liquid
50
Used to measure irregular solids using the indirect method
overflow jar
51
used to measure irregular solids using the direct method

study the external structure of bacteria
compound microscope
55
measure 9.8 ml of a liquid precisley
10 ml pippete
56
dissolve sodium chloride solution and sugar
ten ml pippete
57
heat substances to very high tempuratures
evaporating dish
58
