Q

What turns the turnip extract brown?

A

Catechol oxidase, which reacts with catechol to make brown benzoquinone. This happens with bruised fruit in everyday life.

Q

Drop and give me: Anaerobic fermentation equation for plants

A

Ethanol fermentation (inebriated plants). C6H12O6 = 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + ATP/Heat. Produces Ethanol

Q

How were the snails and plants’ volumes measured? How was their respiration measured?

A

Water displacement. By adding phenolphthalein indicator and then NaOH until it turned pink. The NaOH needed is related to the amount of CO2 produced by an equation.

Q

Paper chromatography is a way to ______.

A

separate pigments from plant extract.

17
Q

In the plant extract, photosynthesis stops. Therefore, the electrons in it have nothing productive to do. What do they do instead?

A

They fluoresce.

18
Q

What are some major examples of pigments? What are some accessory pigments in photosynthesis?

A

Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Carotene and xanophyll.

19
Q

What about a pigment makes it travel more quickly or more slowly up the paper in paper chromatography?

A

solubility, polarity, and molecular size.

20
Q

What is the formula for Rf? A high Rf number indicates _____ solubility.

A

(Distance moved by pigment) / (Distance from pigment’s origin to solvent’s front). high.

A

The H2O.

24
Q

Which reaction uses ATP and NADH, biochemical or photochemical reactions?

A

Biochemical ones.
