|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biotechnology | The use of living organisms or other biological systems in the manufacture of drugs or other products or for environmentalmanagement, as in waste recycling
🗑
|
||||
| Buffer | Solutions that have the capacity withstand the addition of small amounts of protons and/or hydroxide ions, or undergo dilution, without a dramatic change in pH.
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid
🗑
|
||||
| Column Chromatography | The separation of mixtures into their constituents by preferential adsorption by a solid, as a column of silica
🗑
|
||||
| Size Exclusion Chromatography | (gel filtration) Chromatography in which the material to be fractionated separates primarily according to molecular size as it moves through a column of a gel and is washed with a solvent so that the fractions appear successively at the end of the column
🗑

🗑
|

| Elution buffer | In column chromatography, it is put in the column to basically cleanse and lubricate. Generally, it helps to wash out any left-over proteins from a previous experiment. It can also help to separate the fractions that are collected.
🗑
|
||||
| Equilibrium buffer | The process of exposing a liquid to a gas that is at a certain partial pressure until the partial pressures of the gas inside and outside the liquid are equal.
🗑
|
||||
| Mobile Phase | In liquid chromatography, the phase that is moving in the bed, including the fraction of the sample held by this phase. The carrier gas in a gas chromatography procedure.
🗑
|
||||
| Stationary Phase | In chromatography, the nonmobile phase contained in the chromatographic bed.
🗑
|
||||
| Pipettor | Laboratory instrument used to transport a measured volume of liquid.
🗑
|
||||
| Protein | any of numerous, highly varied organic molecules constituting a large portion of the mass of every life form and necessary in the diet of all animals and other nonphotosynthesizing organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Epithelial Cells | Form the epithelial tissue that lines both the inner and outer surfaces of the body; serve a protective function and also aid in absorption and secretion.
🗑
|
||||
| Protein Primary Structure | Consists of the order in which amino acids are bonded to one another by peptide bonds.
🗑
|
||||
| Protein Secondary Structure | Involves the way that that chain of amino acids either twists or folds back upon itself to form either alpha helical, beta sheet or a variety of other possible arrangements.
🗑
|
||||
| Protein Tertiary Structure | Secondary structure in turn folds back and twists and bonds to itself in a three-dimensional manner
🗑
|
||||
| Precipitation | the precipitating of a substance from a solution
🗑
|
||||
| Solubility | the quality or property of being soluble; relative capability of being dissolved
🗑
|
||||
| Aqueous Phase | The water portion of a system consisting of two liquid phases, one that is primarily water and a second that is a liquid immiscible with water
🗑
|
||||
| Ethanol | Organic compound.Produced by fermentation, it is the intoxicating ingredient in alcoholic beverages. Ethanol for industrial purposes is made by either fermentation or chemical synthesis, then purified by distillation
🗑
|
||||
| Hydrophilic/Hydrophobi | Having a strong affinity for water
🗑
|
||||
| Diagnostic | Serving to identify or characterize; being a precise indication
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
