1. In the Luminol synthesis the compound being oxidized was the sodium hydrosulfite. 2. The purpose of the acetic acid is to pronate the dianon organic molecule to make the neutral organic compound‚ Luminol that will crash out of the solvent. If the number of moles were reversed for acetic acid and sodium hydroxide the solution would be very basic‚ and and the amount of Luminol produced would decrease. 3. The cold water was used to decrease the solubility of Luminol in the solvent and prevent further

PRE-LAB The purpose of the lab is to determine the moles of hydrogen gas and then molar mass of the metal. First‚ the metal assigned to each group must be weighed out in order to ensure the hydrogen gas produced will not exceed the capacity for the gas measuring tube. Then‚ copper will be wrapped around the metal leaving 6-8cm at the end for a handle. The end wire will be bent into a hook to keep the sample at the bottom of the tube and increase the oxidation rate. A ring stand will need to be

Introduction: Proteins are necklaces of amino acids – long chains molecules. Proteins are the basis of how biology get this done. As enzymes‚ they are the driving force behind all the biochemical reactions which make biology work. As structural elements‚ they are main constituents of our bones‚ muscles‚ hair‚ skin‚ and blood vessels. As antibodies‚ they recognize invading elements and allow the immune system to get rid of the unwanted invaders. For these reasons‚ scientists have sequenced the

Abstract The objective of this lab was to measure the amount of protein from a piece of beef liver . This was done by taking the liver‚ blending it and then using a centrifuge to separate the supernatant from the pellet. Once that was completed‚ ammonium sulfate was added to the supernatant‚ chilled and then spun for a second time. Next‚ 20 mL of water is added to the pellet‚ stirred and the volume was recorded. The teacher calculated the total mass of liver to be 10.098g. Lastly a spectronic

General Biology DNA and RNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Ribonucleic Acid • DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It is located in the nuclei of cells‚ which make up the body. Consequently‚ DNA can be considered as one of the building blocks of the body. Where is DNA found? DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material that lies within the nucleus of all cells in humans and other living organisms. Most of the DNA is placed within the nucleus and is called nuclear DNA. However‚

17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation * George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked together with mutated (Neurospora crass) bread mold to figure out that they were missing a specific enzyme (gene) that catalyzed and synthesized a pathway required. They concluded that they were missing that enzyme because it was lacking the amino acid that coded for the enzyme‚ thus was mutated and incapable of growing. Led to the one enzyme-one gene hypothesis. The Products of Gene Expression:

First‚ the synthesis of the coordination compound‚ KaFeb(ox)cdH2O‚ needed to be carried out. This was achieved by weighing out 8.29 grams of K2C2O4 with a Dial-a-gram balance. Once measured‚ the 8.29 grams K2C2O4 were placed in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 25 mL of deionized water were then added to the 125 mL flask and stirred with the K2C2O4 until complete dissolution was achieved. Next‚ 4.11 grams of FeCl3 were weighed out using the balance previously mentioned. Once the 4.11 grams were measured

PROTEIN TRANSLATION 1. Initiation Translation To begin translation: large and small ribosomal subunit‚ along with the initiating tRNA‚ assembles onto the mRNA 2. Translation Elongation The next amino acyl-tRNA enters the ribosome at the A site The amino acid at the P site is transferred to the tRNA at the A site. The ribosome moves one codon farther along the mRNA‚ releasing the empty tRNA through the E (exit) site. The A site is free for the next incoming RNA. The cycle is repeated as the
