My Riverside Rapid Digital Portfolio
Lab Design Purpose: To determine how the pH affects the glucose levels caused by an enzyme-driven reaction Hypothesis: The test tubes containing solutions of ph 5, 7 to contain highest levels of glucose. Materials: 5 test tubes 5 rubber stoppers 1 marker 1 roll of masking tape 50 mL of 2% Milk (Lactose source) 10…
Purpose: To determine if size effects diffusion and which size is most effective. Hypothesis: The smallest cube will diffuse best, allowing the NaOH to travel through the Agar and react with the phenolphthalein in the mixture. Questions: In terms of maximizing diffusion, what was the most effective size cube that you tested? The smallest…
For this activity, my class was asked to model out Protein Synthesis: Transcription and Translation. Similarly to the DNA Structure and Replication assignment, we modeled the processes using pipe cleaners and beads. Firstly in Protein synthesis, DNA undergoes Transcription: DNA replicates one of its genes into forming Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA), a molecule similar to…
In Biology 12, my class was assigned the job of creating a strand of DNA out of pipe cleaners beads. DNA is a molecule containing our genetic code. It is composed of a chain of nucleotides, monomers containing a 5-sugar backbone, a nitrogen containing base, and a phosphate. A DNA molecule is made up of 2…
