Shaniah Idehen LAB 10 WORKSHEET 1. Briefly describe the purpose of working with embryoless seeds. (15 points) The purpose of using embryo-less seeds during this experiment was to effectively demonstrate the enzyme formation that was induced. Without an embryo, we can see that the GA hormone is a contributing factor in enzyme production. 2. GA is a hormone that functions to? (10 points) GA or Gibberellin is a hormone that supports a-amylase, an enzyme that is found in embryo-less seeds. GA supports the synthesis of this enzyme 3. What is the role of Ca2+ ions in this context? (10 points) Once the GA receptor is activated, Ca2+ ions are used to carry those signals as transduction, along with other GA signals. 4. Which groups are your:Positive control,Negative control, and experimental group? (15 points) Positive control: GA with normal seeds Negative control: Water added with normal and embryo-less seeds Experimental group: GA with embryo-less seeds. 5. Using the data provided below which was obtained using 20ul of enzyme sample and incubated for 30seconds in a total volume of 1ml : a. Calculate the UA for all the samples ( 20 points) [GA] Abs 625 0.05 UA=4.8 0.652 0.1 UA=17.0 0.53 0.5 UA=19.6 0.504 1 UA=30.4 0.396
Shaniah Idehen b. Build a semi log graph by plotting log of [GA] on the x-axis and the UAs on the y-axis (15 points) log0.05=-1.3 log0.1=-1 log0.5=-0.3 log1=0 log5=0.7 c. Use this plot as a standard curve to calculate the [GA] in tube #15 which had an absorbance value of 0.5. (15 points) UA=(0.7-Abs625)*Volume of supernatant (ml) / incubation time (min)* enzyme extract volume (ml) Hint: Volume of supernatant= 1ml Incubation time= 0.5 min Enzyme extract volume = 0.02 ml UA1=[(0.7-0.652)*1]/(0.5*0.02)=0.048/0.010=4.8. UA2=[(0.7-0.53)*1]/(0.5*0.02)=0.170/0.010=17.0. UA3=[(0.7-0.504)*1]/(0.5*0.02)=0.196/0.010=19.6. UA4=[(0.7-0.396)*1]/(0.5*0.02)=0.304/0.010=30.4. UA5=[(0.7-0.249)*1]/(0.5*0.02)=0.451/0.010=45.1. 5 UA=45.1 0.249
