is also soluble in water and results in a red-brown solution (5). The main purpose of this experiment is to do determine the molecular weight of bovine cytochrome c and bovine hemoglobin by making use of the gel filtration technique using Sephacryl beads. The goal is to create first a standard curve of log of molecular weight as a function of volume eluted necessary for the elution of two standards, blue Dextran and Vitamin B-12 mixed in one solution (6). Determining the volume eluted for both…

Symbolism is defined as “the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.” Nothing quite adds understanding and depth in short stories like symbolism does. A story without symbolism can make it seem empty and dull, but when an author uses symbolism, it can help weave a story together. “The Cranes” by Peter Meinke and “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway are two short stories that use symbolism to show a deeper meaning into the background of each story. “The Cranes” is a short…

Hemingway had many sets of themes in his story which included choices and identity that he significantly added in his short story to make…

Meiosis starts: DNA Replicates I am going to draw a nucleus with DNA inside it represented with beads as the four pairs of chromosomes. Outside of the nucleus there will be centrioles drawn. This is where meiosis begins and replicates the cell Spindle fibers start to form on the centrioles and chromosome pairs bind together making tetrads. Nuclear membrane starts to dissolve. Nuclear membrane will be drawn in dashed lines. The chromosomes will be homologous pairs with centromere in the center…

Sephadex G-25 is a cross-linked dextran polymer that has an exclusion limit approximately 30,000. Sephadex beads are porous, molecules larger than 30,000 are easily separated from molecules because it cannot enter the pores and are elute first. The molecules less than the exclusion limit will elute slower because it enter the pores and are retard (#2…

Cultural Immersion (Native Americans) Prior to the Activity Perceptions, prejudice, stereotypes of Native Indians, prior to the activity were still alive and well. An Indian tribe consisted of chiefs and princess, seen as savages in pursuit of killing those of the European persuasion, scalping, living in tee-pees, stealing horses, and they all dressed alike.

Didax Publishing, page 26. The probe will first be probing for the student’s ability to see part-whole number relationships. For each of the…
