Strawberry DNA Extraction lab What was the purpose of the Sodium Chloride? Include a discussion of polarity and charged particle

s.
Biology
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.

The NET reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is _____ per mouse per month in a population of 1,000 mice where 500 mice
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

The Net Reproduction per individual per unit time (r) can be calculated as (births-deaths)/population size

Given that:

Population size of mice = 1,000; Birth = 500; Death = 400,

Net reproduction rate (r) = (births-deaths)/population size

r = (500 – 400)/1000

r = 100/1000

r = 0.1

The Net reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is 0.1

Rattlesnake venom contains a collection of different enzymes, from phospholipases (which hydrolyze phospholipids into fatty acid
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Lipid bilayer

Explanation:

Red blood cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that separates its interior from the surrounding medium. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer and consists of two layers of phospholipids. The polar heads of phospholipids make the surfaces of the cell membrane while their nonpolar tails are buried in its core.

The snake venom has phospholipase enzymes that digest the phospholipids into fatty acids. Digestion of phospholipids of the lipid bilayer of red blood cells would cause leakage of their content into the surroundings and loss of integrity of cells.

​a client with hypovolemia has been prescribed intravenous fluid at 125ml/hr. the iv site to provide hydration has infiltrated.
Levart [38]

The following are the steps the nurse would take to treat the infiltrated site:  

1. Stop the infusion and remove the catheter

2. Elevate the extremity

3. Encourage an active range of motion

4. Apply a cold or warm compress depending on the solution infusing

5. Restart the infusion proximal to the location or in another extremity

Now, in order to address hydration requirements of the client, the nurse will have to begin a novel peripheral intravenous in another extremity or to again start the infusion if intravenous access has been created.

gove one example of how advances in science and technology have allowed the human population to increase rapidly
natima [27]
One example: The improvement in science and technology over the years has decreased the infant mortality rate. Since more babies live, we have a higher population. 

Also, with increases in science and technology, there are many diseases that were once considered fatal that are now easily treated. This has also led to a higher population.
