Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
What happens to cells when they are placed in a hypotonic solution? An isotonic solution? A hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution the cell shrivels up. In an hypotonic solution the cell will burst. In an isotonic solution it gains a shape.
In which organelle does photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
How do you properly put away a microscope?
First you shut the microscope off, you put the stage all the way down, make sure the objective lens is on the lowest magnification. Take the cord out of the plug and wrap it up. Put the bag over it. Carry it to the Cubard with your arm underneath it and you hand on the arm. And you put it up with the number facing you.
What is the equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
(C x 9/5) + 32
What is the equation for Fahrenheit to Celsius?
(F-32) 5/9
Which enzymes breaks down hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water?
Catalyze
How do enzymes speed up reaction rate?
By lowering the energy activation.
Compare independent and dependent variable?
Independent is the income of interest that was is being manipulated. The dependent variable is the outcome of interest the results. That is what we are measuring to see if the influence affected the phenomenon. For example the independent variable for temp enzyme activity was temperature and the dependent variable was the oxygen bubbles.
Compare experimental and control?
The experimental group is what is being tested. The control group is what remains constant. The control group gives us something to compare.
One ml of water equals how many grams?
1
I’m which organelle does respiration occur in?
Mitochondria
Compare solvent and solute
Solvent is what the solute dissolves in for example sugar water. The water is the solvent and the sugar is the solute that dissolves in the water.
What are the indicators for proteins, fats and oils, simple sugars, and starch.
Simple sugar- Benedict solution
Protein- birect solution
Lipids- spot test or translucent spot test
Starch-iodine
List the four types of macromolecules and their monomers?
Proteins- amino acids
Carbohydrates-simple sugars
Lipids-‘fats and oils
Nucleotide- DNA and RNA
Which organelles are found in animal cells and not plant cells?
Centrioles
Which organelles are found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Cell wall, plasmodesma, central vacuole, chloroplast
Define specificity?
Pickiness, limited to work on only one molecule, being specific, limited to a number of jobs,
What test do we commonly use to show what a negative test looks like?
DI H2O
Give the overall reaction for photosynthesis?
6CO2+ 6H2O-C6H2 O6 + 6O2
What is the movement of any molecule from a higher to a lower concentration?
Diffusion
The speed of diffusion is dependent upon?
Temperature
Size of the molecule
Type of medium
What is the movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis
A solution is the solution which has a lower water concentration.
Hypertonic
A plant cell placed in distilled water ( hypotonic solution) will?
Gain water
Increase turgor pressure
Have its chloroplast pushed against the cell wall
The light microscopes uses what to magnify an object?
Lenses
The scanning electron microscope uses_____and electrons______to produce an image of the surface of a specimen.
Electromagnetic lenses; which bounce off of the object
Prokaryotic cells contain.
Ribosomes
The_____regulates the movement of molecules into and out of the cell.
Plasma membrane
Animal cells have, but plant cells lack,____.
Centrioles
