Updates: • Quiz 10 grades are updated, new average: 76% • Last quiz average: 78% • Tools of the Light Trade assignment counts as one quiz grade! Scores are up • Light Tools Findings grades will be posted by the end of the night • I’m still missing just a few GD peer evals…
Let’s think… • Electron transport… • REDOX reactions? • OIL RIG!
Why we’re here: • Solve a question about the ‘invisible world’ through experimental design and execution • Design the experiment given tools you have and processes you’re familiar with • Derive the purpose and implementation of ‘controls’ for your experiment
Where we’re going • Given: DCPIP takes electrons from Pq
In groups of two… • What is DCPIP (Dichlorophenolindophenol)? • Does it share any characteristics with other molecules we’ve seen this semester? What? • What does it do? • How can you tell what it’s doing/what it’s done?
Claims: • DCPIP steals electrons • What effect do you predict this will have on photosynthesis/oxidation of H2O by Photosystem II? • An unknown herbicide blocks electron transport like a brick wall • What effects do you predict?
Verify these claims! • How? Use the leaf disk assay we’ve been working with! • What conditions? • Key Question of the day: Where does the herbicide act? Before or after DCPIP?
Will Photosynthesis happen in DCPIP? • How would you know? • Add 4ml DCPIP + 20mL buffer • ALSO, confirm an herbicide (Diuron) is a photosynthicide • Add 0.75mL + 20mL buffer* • Give your disks time to let the herbicide soak in • *Ignorethe change in volume adding these produce
Evaluations • What did you learn? (Can be done individually while experiments progress) • What did you think of the semester (requires lab instructor to be finished & gone; but you can come back)
Question of the day/week… X X WHERE does the herbicide work?
Oh the thinks you can think! X DCPIP taking e- will do what to O2 prod? • DCPIP taking -e will do what to O2 prod? • How will -e taking affect DCPIP? • How can you tell if drug acts here? • Or here? X How will e- taking affect DCPIP? How can you tell if drug acts here? Or here?
Oh the thinks you can think! • Two hypotheses? • What would your experiment look like? • What would it TELL you if the DCPIP… • Stays blue • Turns clear
“Throw her into the pond!” • What tubes will you need? • Work it out now • Use the diagram
