EGG LAB ANALYSIS Bouncy egg trick: You turn an egg into a bouncy ball by leaving the egg in vinegar. on the first day we place the egg into vinegar which helps break down the eggshell. Vinegar is a acid which dissolves the eggshell, which is made of calcium carbonate, turning the shell to carbon dioxide. Vocab/ Relation Osmosis: diffusion of water Diffusion: molecules to spread out in order to occupy an available space, without using energy. *diffuse from high to low. -The egg was placed into…
cell in that particular leaf were starting to become lazy and the Mitochondria was not producing enough energy to supply the leaf with enough energy to function as a perfect leaf with no problems. Everything else in his leaf cells were fine: the chloroplast was amazing, glycolysis was working just fine, cytoplasm was just as well, his electron transport chain was all intact and working great, his ATP levels were not so good. Just along with his mitochondria levels his ATP levels were slowly…
The structure and function of carbohydrates (25 Marks) Carbohydrates are made from Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). A monosaccharide is the monomer sub unit of carbohydrates and can be joined together through a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond between the two monomers which is known as a disaccharide. The above diagram shows a condensation reaction taking place. There is a reaction between two monomer sub units, in this case α-glucose and ethanol, which involves the…
has one or more small vacuoles scattered throughout the cell. The plant cell has some other organelles that are exclusive to plant cells and can’t be found in animal cells but the majority of organelles found in animal cells can be found in both. Chloroplasts are one of these, they are responsible for photosynthesis within the cell. This explains why all of the characteristics found in the animal cell during the practical were also found in the plant cell, but the cell wall was visible in only…
which has pores that provide a pathway to the cytoplasm. 3. The mitochondrion provides energy to the cell using its stored energy. 4. The cell wall provides support for the cell and keeps unwanted pathogens outside of the cell. 5. Mitochondria and chloroplast both provide energy for the cell.…
sequences of DNA/RNA. The term genome can be applied specifically to mean that stored on a complement set of nuclear DNA but can also be applied to that stored within organelles that contain their own DNA as with the mitochondrial genome or the chloroplast genome. All prokaryotes and eukaryotes genome contain significant portion of repetitive DNA, there are two categories of repetitive DNA in genome: tandem repeats and interspersed repeats (Cregan, 1992). Tandem repeats can be classified as…
How might this influence effort to prevents transgene escape? A: in such species, engineering the transgene into the chloroplast DNA would not prevent its escape in pollen; such as method requires that cholorplast DNA be found only in the egg. And entirely different method of preventing transgene escape would therefore be needed, such as male sterility, apomixes, or self-pollinating…
there a scholastic explanation for gut feelings? I’ve never bothered to hold onto memories of scientific names or the intricacies at work within the universe. It’s probably too much for me to handle, existentially. I don’t understand sunsets or chloroplasts, but the mystery keeps me interested. Some things I just don’t want to look up. Tell me that the light reflects off of the clouds and that the sun gives plants life. Fog is hovering above the lake on a chilly morning. I haven't learned the…
molecules while releasing small amounts of energy. Likewise, in the mitochondria, the small molecules begin to react with other molecules producing carbon dioxide, water, and large amounts of energy. On the other hand, photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. This is where we can find chlorophyll, which is what gives plants the green color and allows photosynthesis to work. Furthermore, cellular respiration is broken down into three…
Mitochondrial is the inheritance of a trait converted into mitochondrial genome. https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4402 The mitochondrial inheritance is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA that is maternally inherited from the mother. The Mitochondria is structure of organelles, that is found in the cells located in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus. The mitochondria job is to manufacture energy in each of the cells and throughout the body…
