| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what was plasmid 1? | pBS |
| what was plasmid 2? | pUC7K |
| two types of gel for electrophoresis | poly-acrylamide and agarose |
| what makes DNA visible on gels? | ethidium bromide |
| how to make cells competent? (2) | heat or CaCl2 |
| what did plasmid 1 grow on and not grow on? | grew on ampicillin, not kanamycin (pBS) |
| what did plasmid 2 grow on? | both kanamycin and ampicillin (pUC7K) |
| CFU/mL | # colonies per mL plated / dilution (1/10 etc) |
| how to find g/plasmid | 700 g/mol (1 base pair) x # base pairs / 6.022E23 |
| fraction transformed | CFU/mL transformed / CFU/mL control |
| transformation efficiency | CFU/mL / ug plasmid added |
| what makes glycerinated myofibers contract? | ATP, Mg, Ca, K |
| what is added to observe skeletal muscle and why? | glycerin, removed membrane but leaves contractile apparatus intact |
| what did we add to sperm and why? | Triton X-100 to removes membranes, DTT stabilize ATP binding site |
| overall photosynthesis reaction | 6CO2 + 12H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
| where do the oxygens in O2 product of photosynthesis come from? | the H2O |
| what color was DCIP when reduced? | clear |
| what color was DCIP when oxidized? | blue |
| DCIP | in place of NADPH for hill reaction |
| order of hill reaction | PS II, PQ, PS I, ferredoxin, NADPH |
| where are cells coming from this week? | SF9 insect cells (fall armyworm) |
| what will be used this week to prevent freezing damage? | DMSO |
| how will we make a sterile environment this week? | UV |
| what will we use this week to prevent contamination? | flow cabinets |
| each muscle cell is a | fiber |
| the striated appearance of muscle fibers is caused by | actin and myosin overlap |
| photosynthesis requires light, H2O, CO2, and | chloroplasts |
| why use insect cells? | less sensitive to temperature and CO2 concentration |
