Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in the mitochondria where a chain of metabolic reactions occur in order to generate chemical energy from nutrients such as carbohydrates. The key reactants of this process include oxygen and glucose which yield carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is converted into chemical energy. The key reactants in photosynthesis are water, light and carbon dioxide which yield glucose and oxygen. In this lab, several…

(number of base pairs) of each fragment. The agarose gels allowing separation of framents whose size is between 0.5 and 20 Kb. Ten microliters of amplification product are added 5 microliters of hare buffer (0.25% bromophenol blue, 30% glycerol, 40% sucrose); the mixture is then deposited in the wells. A negative witness is treated in the same conditions as the different samples: the 5 microliters of extracts are then replaced by 5 microliters of water purified in order to control for…

tests used for identifying these two bacterial species included: MacConkey agar plating, utilization of triple sugar iron, or TSI (and H2S), citrate, and urease testing. The TSI test was done to test for the fermentation of glucose, lactose, and sucrose, and signs of a black precipitate, H2S. The citrate test enabled us to see which organisms…

Sugar is a story full of money, work, and lost lives. The story begins in 326 B.C. with Nearchus, a captain in the army of Alexander the Great, that stumbles upon the "sweet reed".
