Study Notes
Biol 1002 Laboratory - Quiz 1 Study Notes
-
Lab 1: Measuring Liquid Volumes
- Graduated pipettes are used for precise volume measurements (1mL - 10mL).
- Larger volumes use graduated cylinders.
- Smaller volumes use serological or micropipettes.
- Micropipettes measure volumes from 0.5µL to 1mL.
- Serological pipettes range from 1mL to 25mL.
- Graduated cylinders range from 10mL to 1L.
- Students should know the function of each device and when to use which.
- Understand how to calculate dilutions. Dilution = Vol(A) / Vol(A + B), where A is the solute and B is the solvent.
Serial Dilution
- Purpose of Serial Dilutions: Students should understand the need for serial dilutions.
- Agar Plate Results: Students need to interpret the yeast colonies on agar plates.
- Dilution Calculation: Students need to know how to calculate dilutions.
- Statistical Measures: Students need to understand how to calculate averages and standard deviations. (specific formula is not provided).
Lab 2: Biological Molecules
- Molecular Building Blocks: Understand the major types of biological molecules and their components (Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids).
- Carbohydrate Formula: Students should know a general formula for at least some carbohydrates.
- Reagent Tests: Learn various tests to identify different molecules (Benedicts, Iodine, Biuret, Dische's, Sudan III, Orcinol).
- Components and Reactions: Explain what each reagent does, how it interacts with the molecules, and what color changes occur in each reaction.
- Identifying Unknown Substances: Be able to explain the procedure for identifying an unknown substance.
- Macromolecule Structures: Be able to recognize diagrams of different macromolecules (i.e., fatty acids, phospholipids, triglycerides). Be able to describe the differences between different categories (i.e triglycerides and phospholipids).
Biuret Test (Example Question Analysis)
- Biuret Test Description: Provide a detailed description of the Biuret test procedure.
- Positive Results: Explain what positive results indicate from the Biuret test.
- Negative Results: Explain what negative results indicate from the Biuret test.
- Chemical Mechanism: Provide insight into the molecular mechanism behind the Biuret test.
- Conclusions: Describe the conclusions that can be drawn from understanding the Biuret test results.
