BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

Draw and label 3 plant cells. * After a few minutes draw out the sodium chloride solution with a piece of filter paper placed at the edge of the coverslip. Replace it with distilled water added at the other side of the coverslip. QUESTIONS 1 Describe the cells in distilled water. How are the cells in 5% sodium chloride different from this? Describe what happens when you take away the sodium chloride solution and

The goal of this experiment was to synthesize dibenzalacetone by aldol synthesis. The name ’Aldol synthesis’ was taken from the words ’aldehyde and alcohol’. This is because the product of this reaction contains both an aldehyde and alcohol. The carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction is referred to as aldol addition. An aldol condensation yields many species of products if the reactant is more than one. Therefore‚ the aldehyde has to react with itself to yield one product. Procedure: Followed according

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

These regulators effect the activity of the phosphorylase but not the actual reaction. Regulators bind allosteric sites in order to effect the enzyme activity usually through conformation changes. The activity can either be increased or decreased depending on whether the regulator is an effector or inhibitor for the enzyme. An important

Abdulfatah Momen R/W class One of the basic components of the community is children. Some of families think that having children bring problems to their life. Some of these families decide to work off children by medical science before children come to the life. The way that they choosing is abortion. Abortion was made by women who are pregnant‚ and they don’t want to have children. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal of the fetus. Rates of abortion increase to be very
