Nemipterus Photosynthesis Lab Report
3.2 DNA Extraction
The DNA will be extracted from the Nemipterus samples according to Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) protocols. The first step of is cells and nuclei will be lysed by adding 120 µl of 0.5 Molar ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to 500 µL of Nuclei Lysis Solution in a eppendorf tube, then it will be chilled on ice until the solution turn cloudy. The second step is 0.5 cm of Nemipterus sample tissue will be minced to fine powder. The fine powder of fresh Nemipterus tissue will be transfer into 1.5 ml eppendorf tube and labeled respectively according to species. A total of 600 µl of EDTA/Nuclei Lysis Solution will be pipetted from the mixture of first step and will be added to the tube containing Nemipterus tissue. The third step is, 17.5 µl of 20 mg/ml Proteinase K will be

The mixture will be incubated for overnight at 50 °C with gentle shaking. Then the solution will let to cool down at room temperature for 5 minutes. Then 200 µl of Protein Precipitation Solution will be added to the solution and vortex at high speed for 20 seconds. The next step is, the mixture will be centrifuge for 4 minutes at 13,000-16,000 x g, white pellet supernatant will be formed in the tube and it will be transferred into 1.5 ml eppendorf tube which containing 600 µl of isopropanol at the room temperature. Then the mixture will be mixed by inverting the tube until white thread-like strands form as a visible mass. Then the solution will be centrifuged for 1 minute at 13,000-16,000 x g and the supernatant carefully decanted. After that, the DNA will be washed by adding 600 µl of 70 % ethanol into the tube and the solution will be mixed for few

    Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing, for body identification, and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next, the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third, DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly, the DNA must be isolated.…

    Assemble a reflux apparatus including the 25 mL round bottom flask and a heating mantle as a heat source. 5 mL of n-butyl alcohol is added to the flask by detaching the flask and adding the alcohol via a Pasteur pipet. Allow the mixture to boil at a temperature sustainable for a gentle boil for approximately 75 minutes. After this process has been completed, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Once ten minutes has elapsed, carefully place the flask into a cool water bath (without ice) until the mixture cools to room temperature. At this point, an organic layer should be visible. Transfer this solution into a separatory funnel. Drain most of the bottom aqueous layer into a beaker.…

    An additional 20 mL of cold isolation buffer was added to the paste and ground for an extra 4 minutes. The ground paste was filtered through four layers of cheesecloth into a chilled beaker with 5 mL of cold isolation buffer used to wash the mortar and also poured through the cheesecloth. Any remaining filtrate was squeezed through the cheesecloth to maximise the amount of fraction collected. A 30 mL aliquot of the filtrate was transferred into a chilled 50mL centrifuge tube with the remainder kept on ice. The tube was run at 600 RCF for 10 minutes in a balanced, refrigerated centrifuge set at 4C. The supernatant was Pasteur pipetted into clean, chilled 50mL centrifuge tube and spun at 8500 RCF for 45 minutes at 4C. As the centrifugation stopped, the top 2-5 mL of the supernatant was taken and transferred into a cold a 15mL tube labelled, MFF the rest of the supernatant discarded.…

    Abstract: Two parts of this lab were performed involving photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The first part of the lab consisted of cutting out spinach leaf disks with a straw and then putting them into syringes containing an infiltration solution and sodium bicarbonate. Then the syringes were place under the presence of light and watched as certain disks floated. This part of the lab consisted of watching photosynthesis take place. Then for the second part of the lab we tested cellular respiration by putting the syringes in box containing no light and then waited for the spinach disks to sink.…

    The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effects of sugar on photosynthesis in Elodea. Sugar water with Elodea, water with Elodea, and water (control) are used to test for photosynthesis. Five drops of sugar water were added to sugar water with Elodea beaker. The three beakers were left under normal light for photosynthesis to occur. After 60 minutes, NaOH solution was added to each beaker to test the volume of CO2.…

    Comparing the spectrum obtained from the healthy liver sample and the laser treated liver sample, significant differences in the metabolic profile could be observed. In the healthy liver sample, there is a significant presence of lipid signals observed at 0.9 ppm (CH3), 1.3 ppm (CH2) n and 5.33 ppm (CH = CH). However, these intense lipid signals were not observed when the diseased liver was treated with the laser. In the spectrum of the liver treated with the laser can be observed the increase of the signal strength of the acetate, at 1.9 ppm. This signal was present in the healthy liver, but increased significantly after treatment.…

    Based on the prompt above, “Investigate how light and darkness contribute to the cycling of carbon through both cellular respiration and photosynthesis of a plant” we devised a hypothesis that states, If we place the two test tube, one with carbonated water and the other regular water, with the Elodea inside a dark environment it will perform cellular respiration as it will not receive enough light energy to perform photosynthesis. From the result of our experiment we found that the test tube with tap water and Elodea changed from its original color of Blue to a more faded shade of blue. The result showed that cellular respiration occurred as it used up the oxygen which caused the bromothymol blue indicator to fade a bit as the concentration…

    Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophs use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This conversion into chemical energy is associated with the action of the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts are arranged into complexes known as photosystems. Each photosystem contains the reaction center complex and is surrounded by light harvesting complexes. The light harvesting complexes are composed of pigment molecules such as chlorophyll a, b and accessory pigments that broaden the spectrum of light absorbed for photosynthesis (Campbell, pg. 194).…
