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 exact process

of Lycopene supplement. Lycopene was extracted from tomato wastes by using acetone and purified by column chromatography. The extract was characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. An average recovery of 40 mg lycopene / kg tomato wastes was obtained. Lyco-cookies were prepared by using common ingredients containing 3 mg lycopene per serving. Introduction Lycopene is an open chain pigment of unsaturated carotenoid which is responsible for red colour found in tomatoes‚ grapes‚ watermelon‚ and

Malunggay and Spinach are kind of vegetables that are rich with vitamins‚ minerals and amino acids that are needed for optimum health.

However‚ other cultivated varieties include the leaf vegetables chardand spinach beet‚ as well as the root vegetables sugar beet‚ which is important in the production of table sugar‚ and mangelwurzel‚ which is a fodder crop. Three subspecies are typically recognised. All cultivated varieties fall into the subspecies Beta vulgaris

natural energy source for photosynthesis. White light form the sun is a mixture of all the colors of the light spectrum: red‚ orange‚ yellow‚ green‚ blue‚ and violet. Light can be either absorbed or reflected by substances called pigments. Most plants are green because the pigment chlorophyll reflects green and yellow light and absorbs the other colors of the spectrum. Problem: • Which colors of the light spectrum are most important for plant growth? Hypothesis: • I believe that if we use the colors

chloroplasts‚ the process had to have been completed rapidly in subdued light. When the solutions were not being used they were stored on ice. Ten spinach leaves were rinsed and deveined. They were then placed over ice and chopped with a razor. After‚ the spinach was placed between eight layers of cheesecloth to squeeze all the liquid derived from the spinach. The liquid was then diluted by adding 20mL of homogenizing buffer (HB). The solution was added to a pre-cooled conical centrifuge tube‚ and

By testing the effectiveness of these reactions within chloroplasts‚ the ability of spinach to thrive in varied temperatures was determined.

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely
