1.0 TITLE Extraction of Phenol and Flavanoid compound of the edible brown seaweed species (Eucheuma Cottonii). 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 An overview of Seaweed Macro-algae or “seaweeds” are multicellular plants growing in salt or fresh water. They belong to the lower plants‚ meaning that they do not have roots‚ stems and leaves. Instead they are composed of a thallus (leaf-like) and sometimes a stem and a foot (holdfast). Some species have gas-filled structures to provide buoyancy. They are often

Objective: To extract caffeine from tea powder using polar - nonpolar solvent extraction technique. Theory: The technique used to separate an organic compound from a mixture of compounds is called Extraction. Extraction process selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a suitable solvent. The solution of these dissolved compounds is referred to as the Extract. Here the organic solvent dichloromethane is used to extract caffeine from an aqueous extract of tea leaves

DNA Extraction from Wheat Germ and Making an Agarose Gel AIM: To be able to make and agarose gel and perform gel electrophoresis in six different dyes. Also‚ to extract DNA from wheat germ. INTRODUCTION: Agarose gel is a substance that is used in science for gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography. These processes use agarose gel to separate and analyze proteins and DNA. The medium is composed of a purified agarose powder that has been boiled in a buffer solution and then cooled

unique‚ DNA is key when attempting to convict an individual. Since DNA testing is very sensitive‚ one must conduct these tests carefully. A technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to make millions of copies of the DNA without destroying it. Then‚ a restriction enzyme cuts the DNA into different fragments called reaction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at specific binding sites. Gel electrophoresis is used to move the RLPF fragments from the negative to positive pole using an electrical

substances that were used were Dish soap‚ Laundry detergent‚ and Kosher salt. After test the three‚ laundry detergent seemed to stop the oil the most. The oil took over 5 minutes to get through the detergent. The oil took 8.8 seconds to get through the soap. The oil took 16.8 seconds to get through the salt. The first step is to gather all the supplies needed for the experiment. The next step is to make sure take there is protective gear to use because using oil can hazardous. Then‚ put the bins in a

determining paternity to name a few. DNA based techniques are a sub-discipline of forensic biology and are a crucial component in this field of work. DNA analysis began in the mid 1980’s and revolutionised the field of forensic science. With continual refinement of DNA analysis methods in crime laboratories over the years‚ small amounts of blood‚ saliva‚ skin cells and other biological material can now be used to develop leads and confirm or disprove an account of the crime. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is

Discussion: Extraction and crystallization- The purpose of this lab was to extract and crystallize compounds in a mixture using acids and bases. 1 gram of the unknown was dissolved into 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel. Using aqueous solutions of different pH we were able to separate organic acids‚ bases and neutral compounds from each other. Using three 10 mL portions of HCl‚ we reacted the HCl with the base in solution. This made it possible to

Write a 350 to 700 word summary describing if the collection of DNA without consent unreasonably intrudes on an arrestees’ expectation of privacy. How long can police keep your DNA on file after an arrest or conviction? Can law enforcement use a person’s DNA to match against other crimes unrelated to the one they initially obtained it for? Provide examples and or reasons. The collection of DNA without consent can unreasonably be seen as intruding on someone who has been not been arrested however
