This is done through identifying enteric bacteria that generate stable acids through means of combined fermentation of glucose, dependent on their style of glucose metabolism. The test is performed by adding five drops of Methyl Red PH indicator to the prepared test tube. A positive test turns red indicating PH that is lower than 4.41.…

    The cell cycle is important as old cells get damaged and have to be replaced with new cells for the functioning of the body. If new cells are not formed the human body will stop working within a few minutes. The cell cycle is defined as an orderly sequence of events in which a somatic cell duplicates its contents and divides in two. When a cell reproduces, it must replicate all its chromosomes to pass its genes to the next generation of cells. The cell cycle consists of two major periods: interphase, when a cell is not dividing, and the mitotic phase, when a cell is dividing. During interphase the cell replicates its DNA. Interphase is a stage of high metabolic activity. Interphase has three phases: G1, S, and G2. The G1 phase is the interval between the mitotic phase and the S phase. During this phase the cell is active. It replicates most of its organelles and cytosolic components but not its DNA. The replication of centrosomes also begins in the G1 phase. For a cell with a total cell cycle time of 24 hours, G1 lasts 8 to 10 hours. Cells that remain in G1 for a very long time are destined to divide again in G0 phase. Most nerve and muscle cells are in this phase. Once a cell enters the S phase, it is committed to go through the rest of the cycle. The S phase last about 8 hours. During the S phase, DNA replication occurs. As a result, the two identical cells formed during cell division later in the cycle will have the same genetic material. The G2 phase last about 4-6 hours. During G2, cell growth continues, enzymes and other proteins are synthesized in preparation for cell division, and the replication of centrosomes is completed. The mitotic phase of the cell cycle, which results in the formation of two new cells, consists of a nuclear division, which is called mitosis, and a cytoplasmic division, which is called cytokinesis, to form two identical cells. The process of mitosis results in the exact partitioning of genetic information. During prophase, the…

    During our first group discussion I became really fond of the article "Children Are Not Colorblind: How Young Children Learn Race." Throughout the article I was shocked at the different aspects of children aging and how the develop their sight and sense of race and color of skin. It appears that saying that children are "colorblind" is a myth and I realized greatly how much this is true through this article. Children are actually seen as "blank slates" and don't develop racial prejudices until they are told about them. This statement proves that children don't develop racial prejudices unless they are influenced to have them.…

    Intentional Learning- Final Assignment

    Learning is taking in knowledge, making sense of the knowledge, and using it when necessary. Since taking this class, my views of learning have slightly changed. I now understand that we all have different learning patterns and that everyone’s learning patterns are very unique. One person may learn best when following directions exactly, another person may learn their best by just doing it. Before this class, I felt that it was only one way to do things, and that was by reading directions and following them. I now know that the way everyone learns is as different as the way that we look.…

    The career plan building activity: reasoning aptitude helped me realize my strengths and opportunities. The results in the strength category were lower than I thought they would be. I scored the highest on adapting to change and that was the one that I felt I would have scored the lowest because I do not do very well with change unless I am prepared for the changes beforehand. When it came to researching, taking initiative, being innovative, organizing, and delivering results, I score 3 out of 5 possible points. I felt that with organizing and taking initiative, I would have had a higher score because I organize everything and I tend to take the initiative in a lot of situations at work, with school, and in my personal life.…

    Methods for Synchronizing Cells at Specific Stages of the Cell Cycle

    Methods for Synchronizing Cells at Specific Stages of the Cell Cycle

    The protocols presented here describe procedures used to synchronize cells in various stages of the cell cycle (Fig. 8.3.1). Synchronization is particularly useful for investigating a particular cell cycle–regulated event or preparing cells for extraction of transient factors whose expression is dependent on cell cycle stage. Exponentially growing cultures are generally asynchronous; i.e., each cell progresses through the cell cycle independently of the cell cycle stage of its neighboring cells. Cells that are synchronized are artificially induced to cycle in a homogeneous manner. The ability to continue cycling is an important distinction between a homogeneous population of cells created by synchronization and one created by blocking cells from cycling. Blocking cells from cycling may also result in a homogeneous population of cells at a particular stage of the cell cycle, but often results in death of the cell. In contrast, the purpose of synchonization is to create an enriched population of cells at a single stage of the cell cycle; these cells will then be able to continue through the cell cycle with as little disruption of normal events as possible. For a comprehensive review of events and explanation of the salient features of each of these stages see Pines (1995), Hartwell and Kastan (1994), UNIT 8.1, and the chapter introduction. Techniques will be presented for synchronizing cells in the G1, S, and M phases of the cell cycle. These techniques include a selection of methodologies that capitalize on the biology and biochemistry of eukaryotic cells, such as selective nutrient depletion (e.g., isoleucine deprivation, see Alternate Protocol 3; and serum withdrawal, see Basic Protocol 2), feedback control through addition of excess nutrients (e.g., thymidine, see Basic Protocol 4), morphological differences (e.g., mitotic shake-off, see Basic Protocol 1), or the use of chemical agents to…
