In Shakespeare’s five-act play‚ the plant imagery symbolizes Macbeth’s transformation from nobility to failure‚

2-15-11 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to take spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part

Biology Investigation Aim: to investigate the effects of light and gravity on the growth of sunflower seeds. Background Info: Tropism is directional movement in response to a directional stimulus eg light or gravity. Plants are not able to relocate if they happen to start growing where conditions are nor perfect but they can alter their growth towards more favorable conditions. Plants respond to light (phototropism) where the stems grow towards the light and the roots grow away from

Production of carrageenan‚ particularly κ-carrageenan can be done in either of two ways. The first method‚ which is considered as the original one‚ involves the extraction of carrageenan into an aqueous solution‚ filtration to remove the seaweed residue and finally‚ the recovery of the carrageenan from the solution. Hence‚ product of this extraction is called refined or filtered carrageenan. In the second method‚ carrageenan is not actually extracted but rather‚ everything soluble in alkali and water is
