How is the rate of photosynthesis influenced by the distance of the light source?

The closer the light source, the faster the rate of photosynthesis.
However, the rate of photosynthesis does not decrease at the same rate
the distance is decreased.

which plants prefer the green light and why?

none, because green is not absorbed in the leaves from the light. Because
light is necessary for photosynthesis, the plants cannot use it to produce
food, and so they cannot grow as well.

How can calculating the Rf value help you determine a pigment’s identity?

It lets me know how soluble the pigment is by how high how much it
traveled on the paper.

Explain how a crime lab could use paper chromatography to determine if lipstick
found at a crime scene matched the lipstick of a suspect.

If the pigments in each lipstick have the same Rf, than they are
most likely a match. Lipsticks are made of different pigments and products and
can differ in their Rf.

Light can be either … or … by substances called pigments

absorbed or reflected

Perfectly

why are most plants green?

because the pigment chlorophyll reflects green and yellow light and absorbs the other colors of the spectrum

What are some similarities between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

1) the reactants of cellular respiration are the same as the products of photosynthesis, and vice versa.
2) When comparing cellular respiration and photosynthesis, something I noticed was that cellular respiration contains four stages which are Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxidation, Krebs cycle, Electron Transport Chain (oxidative phosphorylation) and photosynthesis has two stages which are the light-dependent reaction and the Calvin cycle.
3) Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction where big molecules break down into smaller molecules. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction where small molecules form larger molecules.

what are the 2 stages of photosynthesis?

the light-dependent reaction and the Calvin cycle.

What are the 3 stages of interphase in a eukaryotic cell cycle?

G1 stage, S phase, and G2 stage

what happens during G1 stage?

cell grows to its full size, carries out its normal functions, and duplicates organelles

what happens during the S stage?

if a cell is going to undergo mitosis, the chromosomes duplicate and make copies of themselves

what does the replication of the DNA result in?

two identical sister chromatids attached via a centromere

what happens during the G2 stage?

the cell prepares to divide by synthesizing proteins necessary for the process

what is the second major stage of the cell cycle called? | the first being interphase

mitotic stage

what does the mitotic stage consist of?

division of the nucleus (mitosis or meiosis) and division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis)

determines the cell's characteristics

nucleus

threadlike network in the nucleus made up of DNA and proteins condenses into chromosomes at the time of cell division

chromatin

coiled rod-like structures that contain DNA

chromosomes

two identical parts of a chromosome (following replication of DNA)

chromatids

hereditary unit that carries hereditary traits; segment of DNA that controls a specific cellular function; determines which proteins are synthesized or regulates the actions of other genes

gene

body cells (the prefix "soma" means "body"

somatic cells

sex cells ( egg and sperm)

gametes

46 chromosomes in humans, somatic cells

diploid (2n)

23 chromosomes in gametes of humans (egg and sperm)

haploid (1n )

daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell ( diploid number); occurs in the somatic (body) cells

mitosis

daughter cells have only half the parental number of chromosomes; occurs in the sex cells and results in a reduction of the chromosome number; forms gametes

meiosis

chromatids exchange genetic portions during Prophase I

crossing over

programmed cell death

apoptosis

what are 5 differences between mitosis and meiosis?

number of divisions (mitosis:1 / meiosis: 2) , number of stages ( mitosis: 4 / meiosis: 8), purpose (mitosis: gorwth&repair / meiosis:reproduction) , type of cells (mitosis: somatic / meiosis: gametes) ,chromosome product (mitosis: daughter has same # as parent / meiosis: daughter has 1/2 # of parent)

Explain why more cells in the exercise above are found in Interphase and Prophase compared to the other phases?

Cells spend more time in Interphase because they are going through the stages of G1, S, and G2 in Interphase and have to pass checkpoints to continue on. Not all of the cells pass the checkpoints in Interphase and cannot continue on to the Mitotic stage.

List three processes that lead to genetic diversity and list what phase the process occurs in.

1) crossing over occurs during Prophase I 2) independent assortment occurs during Anaphase I 3) fertilization occurs after meiosis

the instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organism are carried in ...

DNA

Each DNA molecule in a cell forms a single ...

chromosome

the process of creating an mRNA strand from a DNA template and takes place in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell or in the nucleoid region of a prokaryotic cell

transcription

the process that requires a ribosome to create a string of Amino Acids using the mRNA strand as directions or a blueprint

translation

the ... strand is called the "codon" and the ... strand is called the "anticodon"

mRNA and tRNA

what is the purpose of 'Met'

starts a new strand of amino acids during translation

what is gel electrophoresis?

a technology in science that allows an individual to separate molecules according to size, electrical charge and other physical properties

(gel electrophoresis) the gel being used is ...

porous

(gel electrophoresis) the DNA will travel from the well at the top with a ... charge down to the bottom which has a ... charge

negative, positive

(gel electrophoresis) Large pieces of DNA will travel a shorter or longer distance in the gel, compared to smaller pieces?

shorter

(gel electrophoresis) what are the bands in the gel?

clumps of DNA

(gel electrophoresis) what items do you need to make a gel?

powdered agarose, a buffer, a flask, a microwave, the gel mold, the gel comb

(gel electrophoresis) since some bacteria can consume gelatin, what can be used to make the gel?

seaweed agarose

(gel electrophoresis) what will the agarose be mixed with?

a buffer made of a saltwater solution

(gel electrophoresis) how will the agarose and the buffer be mixed?

by microwaving it w/ loosely placed plastic on top of the flask until the agarose melts into the buffer

(gel electrophoresis) is the comb placed in the box before or after pouring the gel?

after

(gel electrophoresis) after the gel cools in a separate container, the comb is taken out, and what is poured into the electrophoresis box, before putting the gel in?

more buffer

(gel electrophoresis) how do you get the DNA samples into the well?

with a clean pipet tip and using a micropipette

(gel electrophoresis) what does the loading buffer contain, so that the DNA will be visible?

blue dye

(gel electrophoresis) you will plug up your electrophoresis box to the electrical source. Which side are the wells on?

black/negative

(gel electrophoresis) which way will the DNA samples run? (from what to what)

from negative to positive- top to bottom

(gel electrophoresis) what is the gel stained with?

ethidium bromide

(gel electrophoresis) what type of light will be used to view the gel with afterwords?

UV light

(gel electrophoresis) why does the largest band travel the shortest?

because it cannot fit through the pores of the gel easily like the shorter bands can

explain how comparing DNA fingerprinting can help identify a person who has committed a crime?

It confirms whether the suspect committed the crime or not by matching their DNA with a sample from the crime scene

(gel electrophoresis) why do series of bands appear on the gel?

the DNA leaves behind traces when it gets pulled to the positive charge

(gel electrophoresis) what is true of the DNA fragment band closest to the positive end of the gel?

it is smaller than the rest of the DNA
