Q

Boiling has what cause on yeast cell membrane?

A

Causes denaturing of membrane so more holes let in more outside content. In experiment more sodium carbonate was let in causing cell to turn yellow.

Q

Turgid vs plasmolysis

A

Swollen and congested: hypotonic

Expulsion of water and shrinkage of cell vacuole in response to hypertonic solution in plants.

Under microscope turgid cells look like they have no clear dividing

Q

Manometric technique

A

Measures total changes in gas volume within a closed system

22
Q

Colorimetric technique

A

Appearance or disappearance of a coloured material is monitored as a measure of a reaction.

23
Q

Why do leaves appear green?

A

Chlorophyll molecules of a chloroplast reflect or transmit the green light of the light spectrum. They absorb red-orange and violet-blue.

24
Q

What happens when a molecule of chlorophyll absorbs a photon?

A

Electron moves to higher orbital. Chlorophyll is now in excited state. I lectora can’t stay long and falls to ground state, as it falls its excess energy is given off as light (fluorescence).

If solution of chlorophyll is illuminated it will fluoresce in red-orange

25
Q

Why did little reaction take place in tin foil covered chloroplast solution?

A

Light reactions can’t take place

26
Q

What happened with uncoiled chloroplast?

A

Chloroplast is intact and light moves in and blue colour goes away as DPIP takes the colour.

Electrons that would be passed to Calvin cycle are passed to DPIP and this becomes reduced and becomes clearer.

27
Q

What about boiled chloroplasts?

A

Denatured proteins, chloroplasts not intact and no photosynthesis so no electrons passed to DPIP so colour stays dark blue.

28
Q

Why did you observe fluorescence in the tube with acetone?

A

Acetone disrupts electron acceptor chain so electrons drop and release heat and fluorescence.

29
Q

What do mitochondria look like under microscope?

A

Very small blue-black dots

30
Q

What is cytoplasmic streaming?

What part of cytoskeleton does this?

A

A flow inside cytoplasm

Microfilaments

31
Q

What is function of cytoplasmic streaming?

A

Transports nutrients, proteins and organelles within the cell.

32
Q

Genotype vs phenotype

A

Set of alleles or genetic makeup

Physical traits observed

33
Q

Karyotype of normal male and female

A

XY

XX

34
Q
