Question
Chapter 5.1, Problem 1CYP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why phospholipids play such an important role in the structure of the cell.
Introduction:
Phospholipids are a type of lipids that contain phosphate group which are the important component of cell membranes. A phospholipid contains fatty acid ad phosphate group in which fatty acids are hydrophobic tails and phosphate group forms hydrophilic head.

Based on this information, does the luxR regulator sequence make a repressor protein or an activator protein? b) How will binding of this complex affect RNA polymerase? Remember this operon is under positive control. c) AHL is a signal molecule that V. fisheri makes to communicate with neighboring bacterial cells. This molecule can diffuse outside of the cell and into another bacterial cell in close proximity. This type of communication between bacterial cells is known as quorum sensing.

Store on ice until transformation procedure. Competent cells are cells that are likely to take up foreign DNA and be transformed. This step increases the likelihood that the E. coli cells will take up the introduced vector and be transformed. -Transformation procedure: Obtain two microcentrifuge tubes containing your competent cells. Label one tube +DNA and one -DNA. Add CaCl2 to both tubes. Add the transformation mix containing the plasmid DNA to the tube labeled +DNA. Do not add any plasmid DNA to the -DNA tube. Incubate both tubes on ice for 10 minutes. Then, place both tubes in a 42\deg C water bath for 45 seconds. Replace the tubes in an ice bucket for 2 minutes. Add recovery broth to both tubes. Incubate both tubes in a 37 C water bath for 5 minutes. Questions: 1) What differences would you expect to see between the…arrow_forward
