Bio 185. Molecular Cell Biology Course policies

3. Course policies. 0. Do NOT wear a baseball cap (in whatever direction) in class or lab. 1. Your active and attentive presence in class and lab is expected. 2. Any work handed in after the time is due will not be graded. 3. All written material turned in for credit must be typewritten and paper- copy (I am sorry, we cannot be your printer). Multiple pages need to be stapled together! 4. All writing that is not your own independent work must be properly referenced. Please refer to the Student Handbook (pages 2 to 3) and the policy statement on academic dishonesty. 4. There is no opportunity to make up quizzes, laboratories, assignments. 5. For safety reasons, eating, drinking and smoking are not permitted in the laboratory or class. Shoes must be worn at all times in the laboratory, as there may be broken glass and other hazardous material on the floor. 6. Turn off your cell phone or other similar devices when in class, lecture, or study session. 7.Limit use of a computer in class or lab to the scheduled class activities. 8.Please, no smelly food!

LAB REPORT FORMAT: (1 report per group!) LAB TITLE: Properties and Function of Enzymes. Experiment 1. Goal: one sentence. Method: Relevant. Results: (based on class data). A (mean and SEM) is significantly different (P<0.05) from B (mean and SEM). Conclusion: A is different from B. Explanation.

Figure 1. Standard curve of yellow dye at 420 nm. We measured the optical density at 420 nm of four concentrations of yellow dye (1, 2, 3, and 4 drops per sample) using a Spectronix 21 spectrophotometer. The OD of Standard 1 ((0.217 ± ) was significantly smaller (P<0.05, Student’s t-test) than that of Standard 2 (0.410 ± ), the OD of Standard 2 was significantly smaller (P<0.05) than that of Standard 3 (0.619 ± ) and the OD of Standard 3 was significantly smaller (P<0.05) than that of Standard 4 (0.806 ± ). We calculated the standard curve (linear regression y = x , R 2 = ).We measured the optical density at 420 nm of an unknown concentration of yellow dye (OD equals ± ) and used the standard curve to determine its concentration (3.44 drops per sample).
