Lab practical #2
Photosynthesis, cellular respiration, DNA extraction and GMOs
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Formula for cellular respiration | C6H12O6+6O2 -> 6CO2 + ATP +6H2O |
| Formula for photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 6H2O +ATP -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Independent variable for rate of PS experiment | Conc. of CO2/Type of light |
| Dependent variable of PS experiment | Rate of photosynthesis/# of floating disks |
| Phenol red turns _ when acidic | yellow |
| Phenol red turns _ when neutral | red |
| Phenol red turns _ when basic | pink |
| Steps of DNA extraction | Crush food Add water, vortex, centrifuge Add chelex Centrifuge |
| Why do we crush the food | to break apart the cells from each other |
| Why do we add water, vortex, and centrifuge | to break open the cell walls and membranes |
| What is the main GMO primer | CaMV35s |
| PCR stands for | polymerase chain reaction |
| What enzyme do we use for PCR and why | Taq polymerase because unlike DNA polymerase. it comes from a thermophilic bacteria that can withstand high temperatures |
| Ingredients used in PCR | Taq polymerase Nucleotides Primers Template DNA |
| Steps of PCR | Denaturation at 95 deg Annealing at 50-55 deg Extension at 75 deg |
