A.

13.2 mg/ml

B.

132.0 mg/ml

C.

1.32 mg/ml

D.

26.4 mg/ml

What is the unit used to describe cell solutions measured in a spectrophotometer?

Cells/milliliter

Grams (g)

Optical density (OD)

Meters (m)

Spectroscopy is based on the ability of compounds to specifically create certain wavelengths of light.

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
