EXTRACTION OF TRIMYRISTIN FROM NUTMEG: Paul I. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment was to illustrate the extraction of a solid natural product from its natural source by partition with the aid of an organic solvent. Extraction is the process by which a compound or mixtures of‚ is transferred by separation from one phase into another. In this case‚ the major triglyceride contains a single fatty acid identified as myristic acid. It is a substituent

DNA Extraction Lab Problem Statement: Do you think you have ever eaten DNA? Background Information: DNA is too small to see under a regular microscope‚ so how can it be studied? DNA is a large molecule found in all living things; therefore it is possible to extract it from cells or tissues. All we need to do is disrupt the cell’s plasma membrane and nuclear envelope‚ make the DNA clump together and - voila! - DNA extraction is possible. DNA extractions from onion‚ bananas‚ liver‚ or wheat

Berry DNA Extraction Lab I. Problem Statement: Successfully extracting the DNA from strawberries. II. Background info: DNA is the genetic information in organisms that codes for proteins‚ and controls the cells function. The DNA is a double helix molecule that is formed by various nucleotides which include Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Guanine‚ and Cytosine with sugar phosphate. Different organisms can have larger or smaller genes. DNA is also what makes up chromosomes during cell replication. Strawberries

The purpose of the DNA extraction lab was not only to inform students on how DNA is present in humans and all organisms‚ but to also educate them on how DNA can be extracted using common household materials. Also‚ the lab was very efficient as it introduced the students to extracting their own DNA found on their cheek cells as well as letting them take an observation on how DNA appears or how it is formed. Additionally‚ students were instructed through a very clear and simple procedure‚ which guided

Objective: The purpose of this lab is to allow you to become familiar with a procedure for extracting DNA‚ collecting DNA samples‚ and to observe the physical characteristics of DNA Background: The wild strawberry is a diploid because it only has two sets of chromosomes. While the grocery store kind is an octoploidy because it has eight sets of chromosomes. The reason we chose the grocery store strawberry is because we’d be able to extract more DNA. Ripe strawberries make enzymes which help break

ISOLATION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA In this experiment you will isolate caffeine from tea leaves and prepare the salicylate derivative. Introduction This experiment illustrates the isolation of a naturally occurring product from plant material -- caffeine from tea leaves. The experiment will provide experience in handling relatively small amounts of material and at the same time you will be exposed to several techniques and procedures which are fundamental for survival in an organic chemistry lab. You

Strawberry DNA Extraction Donovan Roberts Mrs. Caudill Honors Biology 3/7/11 Introduction The structure of DNA is made of nitrogenous bases‚ phosphate groups‚ and sugars. These three parts of DNA form hydrogen bonds and create a right-handed double helix. The location of DNA in a eukaryotic cell is found within the nucleus‚ bound to proteins. DNA can be extracted from within the cell. They are several steps you must take to retrieve DNA from within the cell. When extracting DNA cells
