Read all instructions completely before starting. observe all safety precautions. separate colors in a green leaf using chromatography
what you need:
leaves, small jars (baby food jars work well) covers for jars or aluminum foil or plastic wrap rubbing alcohol, paper coffee filters
shallow pan, hot tap water, tape, pen
plastic knife or spoon, clock or timer. what you do:
1. collect 2-3 large leaves from several different trees. tear or chop the leaves into very small pieces and put them into small jars labeled with the name or location of the tree.
2. add enough rubbing alcohol to each jar to cover the leaves. using a plastic knife or spoon, carefully chop and grind the leaves in the alcohol.
safety note: isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be harmful if mishandled or misused. read and carefully follow all warnings on the alcohol bottle.
3. cover the jars very loosely with lids or plastic wrap or aluminum foil. place the jars carefully into a shallow tray containing 1 inch of hot tap water.
safety note: hot water above 150 f can quickly cause severe burns. experts recommend setting your water heater thermostat no higher than 125 f.
4. keep the jars in the water for at least a half-hour, longer if needed, until the alcohol has become colored (the darker the better). twirl each jar gently about every five minutes. replace the hot water if it cools off.
5. cut a long thin strip of coffee filter paper for each of the jars and label it.
6. remove jars from water and uncover. place a strip of filter paper into each jar so that
one end is in the alcohol. bend the other end over the top of the jar and secure it with tape. 7. the alcohol will travel up the paper, bringing the colors with it. after 30-90 minutes (or longer), the colors will travel different distances up the paper as the alcohol evaporates. you
should be able to see different shades of green, and possibly some yellow, orange or red, depending on the type of leaf.
8. remove the strips of paper, let them dry and then take a picture of them to upload into your lab quiz. the picture should include yourself performing this lab for full credit.

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data

Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase (also known as β-lactamase), an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. the mass of this enzyme in staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. the amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 10-ml solution containing 10-9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. penicillin(μm) amount hydrolyzed(nmol) 1 0.11 3 0.25 5 0.34 10 0.45 30 0.58 50 0.61 (a) plot v0 versus [s] and 1/v0 versus 1/[s] for these data. does penicillinase appear to obey michaelis-menten kinetics? if so, what is the value of km? (b) what is the value of vmax? (c) what is the turnover number of penicillinase under these experimental conditions? assume one active site per enzyme molecule.
