Yeast Mutations due to Ultra-Violet Light Exposure Summary: Mutations have played one of the most important roles throughout life on Earth. Without genetic mutations there would not be the diversity of living species that we see today. Understanding how mutations work and how they are created is an important step in controlling and isolating genes for experimentation. In this experiment we tested the effects of Ultra-Violet light on growing single-celled yeast. We did this by first creating serial

seeding during ultrasound-enhanced deracemization. We theorized that by introducing larger seed crystals to the system after the establishment of the monodispersed sized crystals (~2 hours)‚ we would broaden the crystal size distribution and thus allow the deracemization process to resume. To test this idea we performed seeded experiments using ultrasound‚ in which we introduced 2.5 g of large seed crystals (~200 µm‚ e_0= 40%) after sampling of the 2nd hour. Obviously‚ the addition of extra mass of

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis‚ based on starch production‚ which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis‚ and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun‚ not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun‚ in the form of

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

A small amount of the unknown (approximately the tip of the spatula was used for all the pigments) was added into each clean dry test tube. For the first test 1 mL of 3 M of HNO3 was added. As soon as the acid came into with the solid‚ the pigment was observed to dissolve while also turning the solution into a pale clear colour. The same amount was used for the HCl reagent. As soon as the acid touched the pigment it yielded in a clear solution (solid dissolved after a few shakes). When the KI was

The Crystal Palace is a vital part of England ’s history. Constructed in the midst of England ’s Victorian Era‚ the Crystal Palace was conceived to symbolize this industrial‚ military and economic superiority of Great Britain ("The Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace"). The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton for the purpose of hosting the Great Exhibition in 1851. The construction of the Crystal Palace was rapid due to the controversial design of Joseph Paxton. Therefore‚ the Crystal
