What do you need for each chemical in a lab

- commonly used names - physical properties - hazards to health - reactivity - flammability - safety procedures if accidents occur - special protection required

Fermentation vs. Respiration

-fermentation: don't go through CAC; ATP only generated through substrate level phosphorylation -respiration: feeding electrons into ETC, creating an energized membrane, oxidative phosphorylation (much more efficient at making ATP than substrate level P!)

What does a spectrophotometer measure

what are the three assumptions required for the law to apply

-monochromatic light is used (one wavelength/color at a time) -the absorbance is measured at the wavelength of maximum absorbance -the absorbance is less than 3.0

light has a dual nature

detector

After setting the volume on your adjustable micropipette to 20 μL, explain the proper method of using the pipette to be sure you are actually transferring 20 μL of liquid.

First, you tightly secure a tip to the pipette without using your hands, to prevent cross-contamination. Then you push down the pipette syringe to the first gage. Next place the tip of the pipette into the liquid, making sure not to touch anything else on the way. Once the pipette is inserted into the liquid, slowly release your grip on the syringe all the way, slowly watching the liquid enter the tip. Once your grip is completely loose, remove the tip from the liquid, and tap off any drips from the tip into the beaker. Compare the liquid measured to the image provided to ensure the appropriate amount was collected. Then transport the micropipette to the designated location. To release the liquid, push down on the syringe to the first gauge until all the liquid is out. Once all the visible liquid is out, press the syringe all the way down in order to make sure every last bit of liquid was removed from the micropipette. Once you are finished with the tip, you can click the dispensing button which releases the tip in a hand-free manner.

A scientist wants to study mating behavior of deer. She observes deer during mating season to obtain data. For each male, she counts the number of male male fights that he wins and then the number of females that the male mates with. She expects that males who win the most fights will mate with the most females. Design a null and alternate hypothesis for this study.

How can the pH indicator bromothymol blue (BTB) be used to show whether photosynthesis or respiration is occurring within an aquatic environment

All chemical reactions, by their most basic definition, are just the breaking apart or putting together of molecules and atoms. All living organisms, by their most basic definition, are just an organized, compartmentalized set of chemical reactions. If left to occur on their own, most chemical reactions occur at rates so slow, life-sustaining processes would not be possible. Bringing enzymes into the picture changes everything. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by bringing together the correct reactants and forcing them into the correct products. This can mean the reactants are broken down into two or more smaller products or combined into one bigger one. Either way, without enzymes performing this function, life would not be possible. Scientifically, we say that enzymes are in the business of lowering the amount of ____________ required to start a chemical reaction.

energy

The main goal of respiration is the production of _________ , which is most often stored in the chemical bonds of the molecule __________ .

where do light independent reactions occur

stroma

As you learned in week one, most experiments focus on two variables at a time, the independent variable (the cause) and the dependent variable (the effect). The dependent variable is the one the researcher is interested in, and the independent variable is often one that the researcher controls. For example, suppose that a researcher feeds several mice different meals. Each meal is identical, except for the amount of sugar present. Then, the researcher measures the blood sugar levels of the mice one hour later. In this case, the ________ in the meals is the independent variable and the ________________________ is the dependent variable.

sugar blood sugar levels

Sometimes, experiments are performed where the independent variable is not directly controlled by the researcher. You performed one of the most common experiments like this in the last lab (and will perform another like it in your next lab) in which time served as the independent variable. To use the example from above, suppose that rather than taking one blood sugar measurement after one hour, the researcher takes one of the mice and tracks its blood sugar level over time by taking measurements every five minutes. The researcher does not control time, of course, but the blood sugar level of the mouse is thought to depend on the time between the feeding and the measurement. In this experiment, there are two independent variables, ________ and ________ .

the final step where you repeat all the previous steps to get more accurate data

hypothesis

the general statement about how you expect your experiment to go

what was the purpose of guaiacol in the experiments you did last week? why was it necessary?

the guaiacol was used as an indicator. It starts off as clear, but when oxidized turns brown. this is useful because when the enzyme breaks the hydrogen peroxide down, it releases oxygen, which turns the indicator brown

the independent does effect the dependent

null hypothesis

the independent does not affect the dependent
