determine the metabolic rate for an insect
answer
MR = amt O2 consumed (mL)/ [duration of exp (hr) * mass (mg)] ml/mg*hr
question
determine population size using the mark-recapture method
answer
N = M1*T2/M2 M1-# individuals marked and released T2 - total # individuals in the second sample M2 - # individuals in the 2nd sample that were marked
question
determine community with the highest or lowest species diversity using a shannon-weiner index
answer
H = -sum (p*lnp) H= population density p= proportion of each species in the population #6 on quiz 4
question
determine anthocyanin concentration for a sample
answer
Anthocyanin concentration = A530nm - 0.24*A653nm
question
determine the population size using a removal sampling method and graph paper
answer
-individuals are removed from the pop. over a series of sampling periods, w/o releasing them back GRAPH: y-axis = # individuals removed per sampling period x-axis = # individuals previously removed -estimated size of pop. is obtained from the pt. where the line of best fit crosses the XXX-axis
question
determine population size using a removal sampling method and regression equation
answer
-individuals are removed from the pop. over a series of sampling periods, w/o releasing them back -use the regression equation to find the XXXXX intercept -plug in 0 for y -# 4 on quiz 4
question
determine community with the highest or lowest species richness from data provided
answer
-high species richness = lots of diff kinds of species in a community -low species richness = not many diff kinds of species in a community lab manual page 35
question
1. identify the tissue category for a specific animal tissue 2. distinguish btwn/among animal tissues that belong to same tissue category 3. distinguish btwn mammalian and other vertebrate tissues
answer
study animal histology pictures
question
identify plant tissues and structures
answer
-study plant tissue pictures
question
function of leaves
answer
to collect energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy via photosynthesis
question
function of stems
answer
to support leaves and to transport water and minerals throughout the plant
question
function of roots
answer
to absorb water and nutrients and anchor the plant. they also store food and nutrients
question
1. identify function of plant tissues & structures 2. identify plant organs as characteristic of hydro, meso, or xerophytic plants 3. identify tissue system for specific plant tissues
answer
plants: structure and adaptations POST LAB
question
identify a flower as monocot or eudicot
answer
monocot - floral parts are in multiples of 3 eudicot - floral parts are in multiples of 4 or 5
question
identify a flower as perfect or imperfect
answer
perfect - has both stamen and carpels (male & female reproductive structures) imperfect - only has one or the other
question
identify a flower as complete or incomplete
answer
complete - has all 4 floral parts (sepals, petals, stamen, carpels) incomplete - is missing 1 or more of the 4 floral parts
question
identify the parts of a flower
answer
look at the diagram on page 45 of lab manual
question
identify the function of each part of a flower
answer
study flowers POST LAB starred questions
question
determine the concentration of protein in a sample using a standard curve
answer
y is the absorbance (if you're given a regression equation) -Absorbance is on the y axis of the standard curve
question
determine the per gram concentration of protein for a plant tissue sample
answer
-use absorbance values on a standard curve or in a regression equation to get protein conc (mg/dL) -divide the concentration by mass of plant tissue to get per gram concentration (mg/dL*g)
question
identify the lightest and heaviest proteins on a gel
answer
the lightest move the farthest and the heaviest move the shortest distance
question
relate migration rate of a protein in a gel to the size of the protein
answer
larger, heavier proteins do not migrate as fast or as far smaller, lighter proteins migrate faster and farther
question
interpret correlation data that include r2 values
answer
0-0.19 very weak 0.2-0.39 weak 0.4-0.69 modest 0.7-0.89 strong 0.9-1.0 very strong
question
describe how to use a spectrophotometer
answer
-place your solution into a cuvette -make a blank identical to soln but w/o the solute that absorbs light -set the spectrophotometer to the wavelength you want to measure absorbance at (let it warm up before use) -use the blank soln to blank the spectrophotometer -insert cuvette w/ arrow pointing towards the light, and close the chamber -press \"absorb\" -record data
question
determine the size of a microscopic organism using calibration provided
answer
# 2o on midterm
question
identify the tissue system for specific plant tissues: Ground, Vascular, and Dermal
answer
Ground - parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma Vascular - xylem, phloem, veins Dermal - epidermis, endodermis, cuticle
question
describe how to prepare a 1X buffer soln from a concentrated stock buffer solution
answer
C1V1=C2V2 (10X) V1 = (1X) V2 look at bookmarked website
question
determine activity of an enzyme by plotting absorbance data obtained using a spectrophotometer
answer
the x axis shows time the SLOPE is the ACTIVITY of an enzyme
question
identify plant organs as characteristic of hydrophytic, mesophytic, or xerophytic plants
answer
study differences on plant notecards & pictures
question
identify effects of cold temperature on plants
answer
-cold stresses increase peroxidase activity in many plants -cold stresses cause plants to alter the lipid composition of their membranes in order to prevent them from solidifying; this is done by increasing the amt. of unsaturated phospholipids in the membranes
question
major morphological difference between mammalian blood and reptilian blood
answer
mammalian blood cells are not nucleated, but reptilian blood cells ARE nucleated
question
major morphological difference between elastic cartilage and hyaline cartilage
answer
elastic cartilage has elastic fibers, while hyaline cartilage does not
question
which tissue category/group is characterized by a matrix in which cells and fibers are embedded?
answer
connective
question
major morphological difference between mammalian bone tissue and amphibian bone tissue
answer
mammalian bone tissue has a haversian system but amphibian bone does not
question
what was responsible for the movement of the dye in the pipette of the respiromtry apparatus when testing oxygen consumption of red flour beetles ?
answer
decreasing levels of gas in the chamber
question
determine hemoglobin concentration qualitatively
answer
add diaminofluorine DAF indicator which will turn blue in the presence of hemoglobin
