Principles of Biology I Laboratory Midterm

Midterm lab 111 Name: Bella Garcia Questions: Notes: Orientation Know your teacher's name section and contact info How much do Graduated pipette measure? Generally measure 1.0 mL to 25.0 mL How to know the difference between approximate and precise Precise . Graduated cylinder- 5-1000 mL . Usually approximate . Flask Beaker o 20- 1000 mL Transfer pipet Bottle dropper What is a water bath? What is a cuvette? Heat or boils solutions What is a spectrophotometer 20 Small container used to hold solutions : Measured using a spectrophotometer Mesures the absorbance or O.D of a particular solution Scientific Method What is scientific method? . What is it for A way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations Elimanets personal bias . What are the steps of the scientific method Observation - o ask a question Hypothesis o Must be testable o Conduct background research Expirimentation 0 Test hypothesis 0 Collect data to be analyzed Must be repeatable Results and conclusion o If data supports Accept hypotheses o If data rejects CThe Tech Coaches techcoaches.dearbornschools.orc - Reject and revise the hypothesis Commincate This allows the hypothesis to become a theory Publish journal Scientific Writing What should the writing include? Title Introduction Methods and materials Results Includes - TABLES - CHARTS - DIAGRAMS PIE CHARTS discussion/ conclusion References What is positive control? What is a negative control? Gives the desired outcome of the experiment Designed not to give the desired outcome Microscopy and Cell Microscope Compound Light Microscope What we use in the lab HOW DO YOU CALCULATE MAGNIFICATION Ocular lens power x obj lens power used for observing extremely minute structures like viruses and cell details Electron Microscope 1. Ocular lens 2. Arm 3. Revolving nose piece 4. Objectives (lenses) 5. Clips 6. Stage 7. fine focus 8. Diaphragm 9. base 10. Course know 87 11. Light source/ illuminator Be able to answer the parts Cells8zdx living organisms are made up of cells Cells come from pre-existing cells. What is the cell theory Prokaryote @The Tech Coaches techcoaches.dearbornschools.org No nucleus oEx. bacteria( e.coli, streptococcus Pill-shaped Smaller No membrane-bound organelles Circular genetic material Eukaryote With nucleus o Ex. plant and animal Linear genetic material Bigger Membrane-bound organelles What are two types of cells Contain DNA Filled with cytosol Surrounded by plasma membrane Contain ribosomes Similarities in the cells? Plants have 3 C's 1. Chloroplast 2. Central vacuole 3. cell walls a. Animal cells only have a plasma membrane What is the difference between plant and animal cells? Chemistry of life What are the major components of most organic molecules? . Oxygen Carbon Nitrogen . Hydrogen What are the 4 macromolecules? 1. Carbohydrate 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Nucleic acid Detection test Detection of carbohydrates (sugar and starch) BENEDICTS TEST- reducing sugars o Will turn orange or even yellow/red lodine test - starch complex sugars o Starts as yellow o Will turn black Detection of proteins . Biurets test Starts off as light blue ( oxidation loss of hyd
