- How many half-lives would have to elapse for a sample of a radioactive isotope to decrease from an activity of 224 cpm to an activity of 7 cpm?arrow_forwardAt your work station, you have a spectrophotometer set at 600 nm to measure DCIP absorbance and four (4) test tubes containing different solutions. One of the test tubes is labelled “0” to blank/zero the spectrophotometer. The other three (3) test tubes contain a reaction mixture from a Hill reaction experiment using isolated chloroplasts and DCIP as an electron acceptor. DCIP is present in the oxidized state and exhibits a blue color with an absorbance at 600 nm. Upon receiving the electrons, DCIP is reduced to form DCIP-H2 that is colorless. These three (3) tubes, labelled “A”, “B”, and “C” were exposed to different light conditions during the Hill reaction. The Light conditions were random, including No light, Red light, and Green light. Please note that chlorophyll preferentially absorbs the light with wavelength of 660 nm (red) when compared to that of 520 nm (green). Your mission is to determine which Tube came from which experimental light condition. Tube: Tube…arrow_forwardPlease asaparrow_forward
- DCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol), a blue dye, can act as an electron acceptor and becomes colorless when reduced. A suspension of chloroplasts is prepared, and DCPIP is added to the suspension. The sample is split into two test tubes. One test tube is exposed to light and the other is wrapped in foil (dark control). What would you observe over time comparing the light exposed and the dark control test tubes? A. The sample exposed to light stays blue. The sample kept in the dark turns colorless. B. The sample exposed to light turns colorless. The sample wrapped in foil stays blue. C. Both samples stay blue. D. Both samples turn colorless.arrow_forwardIf the diameter of the low power field is 1.5 mm, an object that occupies approximately a 1/3 of that field has an estimated diameter of what mm?arrow_forwardIn this experiment, you will be monitoring changes in CO2 concentration due to aerobic respiration and photosynthesis of each test organism. Which of the following results would be expected from the conditions described? Remember this is a closed system (the CO2 cannot escape), and we are monitoring changes in CO2 concentration over a 3 minute period. A) An animal will produce a higher increase in CO2 when exposed to the light than when kept in the dark. B) A plant will cause an overall higher increase in C02 concentration when exposed to light versus an plant kept in the dark. C) A plant will cause an overall higher increase of CO2 concentration when kept in the dark versus a plant exposed to light. D) An animal will show a decrease in CO2 while kept in the dark and an increase in CO2 while in the light.arrow_forward
