Experiment 9 Thin Layer Chromatography Experiment: 9 Title: Thin Layer Chromatography Introduction: Chemical analysis is conducted on specific analytes (specific substance of interest in a mixture)‚ however it is often found that these analytes must be separated for the chemical analysis to conduct their analysis. Chromatography is a set up of laboratory a technique that is used to separate a chemical mixture. This technique is very useful as it allows us to follow the course of

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May‚ And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines‚ And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines‚ By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade‚ When

REVISION NOTES FOR PRELIM BIOLOGY: [ A LOCAL ECOSYSTEM ] ~ Ecosystems: “any area that contains living organisms interacting with each other and their environment. In a balanced ecosystem‚ there is a flow of energy through it and recycling of some materials” Inputs and Outputs of Ecosystems include: - the energy flow through the ecosystem; energy from the sun flows one way through‚ with heat loss at each trophic level - the input and recycling of inorganic and organic material (matter) - the

metabolic activity of the chloroplast goes up and the more electrons its gives up. DCPIP absorbs these electrons and the absorbance of the DCPIP decreases. The number of electrons absorbed is measured by taking the absorbance of the solutions. Chlorophyll electrons are going to absorb light energy and than transfer the energy through redox reactions until it gets to NADP which is the final electron acceptor. Water will then split and produce oxygen electrons as well as hydrogen ions. This DCPIP is

Wavelengths between 500 nm and 600 nm will be the least productive wavelengths in theoretical oxygen production. The four main photosynthetic pigments are carotene‚ chlorophyll a‚ xanthophyll and chlorophyll b (Light). The pigments are the contents in this experiment. We kept them cold to prevent any other reactions from occurring while in the spectrophotometer. We changed the wavelength on the spectrophotometer to see how well the light

only used for lighting homes‚ it’s also used for the growth of the plant life. Without the sun‚ the plants wouldn’t be able to preform photosynthesis used to help with the growth.“Green plants have a light- absorbing pigment called chlorophyll.” “The energy that chlorophyll absorbs‚ powers a chemical reaction between water and carbon dioxide.” “It also powers the wind and the rain.” “ Without the sun’s energy‚ our planet would be just another lifeless rock in space.” The nuclear explosions deep inside

1. INTRODUCTION Capsicum (“Capsicum annum L.”) also known as peepers are one of the most important commercial crops in India belonging to the family Solanaceae. In India‚ only two spices viz. capsicum annum and capsicum frutsecens are known and most of the cultivated varieties belong to capsicum annum. It was introduced in India by the Portugese in Goa in the middle of 17th century. Capsicum is cultivated for vegetable‚ spice‚ and value-added processed products which has an important constituent

Introduction: Recrystallization is used for the purification of solid compounds. The recrystallization process relies on the fact that majority of compounds are more soluble in hot solvent than in cold. The hot saturated solution containing the compound will have unwanted impurities and will be filtered out and cooled to produce the pure crystal constituents of the compound. Thin layer chromatography can be used as a physical method to segregate compounds from natural sources. E.g. Spinach

An eco-column is used to model an ecosystem on a smaller scale. The purpose of an eco-column is to examine how an actual ecosystem would respond to different conditions. Eco-columns typically have three chambers: the aquatic chamber‚ decomposition chamber‚ and terrestrial chamber. The aquatic chamber contains water and an aquatic plant‚ and it is at the bottom of the eco-column. The decomposition chamber contains items that will work as decomposers and as a possible catalyst for plant growth. Examples

Keeping conditions inside the body the same is called homeostasis. It’s not easy. Lots of things have to happen‚ e.g. energy transferred between body and environment‚ carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration and has to be transported by the bloodstream to the lungs where it is breathed out‚ waste and waste products are filtered out of the blood and excreted in the urine. An incubator has a temperature sensor‚ a thermostat with a switch and a heater. Negative feedback happens when one factor
