An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
Mitochondria
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
cellular respiration (aerobic)
Process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or latin acid
Fermentation
Dilution of a substance several times by the same amount each time
Serial Dilution
An instrument that measures the proportions of light of different wavelengths absorbed and transmitted by a pigment solution
Spectrophotometer
The movement of suspended particles through a fluid or gel under the action of an electromotive force applied to electrodes in contact with the suspension
Electrophoresis
distance travelled by substance/ distance traveled by solvent (tracking dye)
RF Value
Which substance is the smallest is the smallest
-RF value of 1.3
-RF value of 0.6
RF of value of 1.3 because the smaller molecules travel further in the gel
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
A solution in which the concentration of solutes in essentially equal to that of the cell which resides in the solution; cell stays the same size
Isotonic Solution
Solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses water
Hypertonic Solution
Solute concentration is less than that inside the cell; cell gains water
Hypotonic Solution
