A.

13.2 mg/ml

B.

132.0 mg/ml

C.

1.32 mg/ml

D.

26.4 mg/ml

true or false

You are reading chlorophyll a samples in the spectrophotometer at 665 nm. Which of the following absorbance readings are considered to be inaccurate?

Abs 3.4

Abs 2.7

Abs 3.6

Abs 2.1

Ideally, a standard curve should be a curved line, not a straight line.

True

False

which of the following are common uses for a spectrophotometer in a biology lab? There may be more than one correct answer.

A.

To quantify the activity of an enzyme

B.

To measure the concentration of protein in a cell sample.

C.

To quantify the density of cells in a population

D.

To quantify the amount of light-absorbing molecules in a sample.

Light with a wavelength of 600 nm is used to read the absorbance of microbial cell cultures because cellular compounds (proteins, DNA, chromophores) absorb light at this wavelength and therefore do not interfere with the measurement.

True

False

The spectrophotometer output is in what units?

Absorbance (A or Abs)

Nanometers

Wavelengths

None of the above

Carrots appear orange in color because they are reflecting what color of visible light?

Orange

Red

Blue

Violet

As humans, we keep track of large amounts of information more efficiently by putting it into categories. One example of this is to organize the organs of the human body into organ systems – you have 11 listed in chapter 5 of your textbook. Organizing the body in this way is useful but can cause us to view each organ system individually when, in fact, organ systems work together in many ways. Make a convincing argument for viewing the organ systems as interconnected – do this by
a) - describing how 2 different processes each involve multiple (3 or more) organ systems [choices for processes are: a) getting O2 to cells and removing CO2 from cells, b) getting high energy molecules (glucose) to cells for energy, c) dealing with a stressful situation – fight or flight response or d) keeping the body safe from invading bacteria and viruses] – choose any 2 to discuss
[So, your answer to part a will take this form: Organ system A is involved in this process (state process) because it does XXXXX (be specific and tie it directly to the process). Organ System B is involved in this same process by doing XXXXXX and Organ System C is involved in this same process by doing XXXXX. For process Y (different process), Organ system A does XXXX, Organ system Y does xxxx, and organ system Z does xxxx). - Provide detail and tie each organ system clearly to its role in the process!]
