You got an opportunity to join a professor lab who is working in-vivo model and specifically looking at the dysregulation of mitochondria in liver. He asked you to isolate mitochondria from a Rat liver and placed in an assay medium. Based on the knowledge you gain in this course so far, please answer the following questions: a) Which technique will you use to isolate mitochondria? b) What happens to the pH of the medium when the medium is kept anaerobic?  c) What happens when O2-saturated saline is added to the mixture?
All except which of the following are compared when looking at the sequence analysis of ribosomal components in microorganism as a way to determine relatedness? a)ribosomal amino acid sequence  b)rRNA sequence  c) rDNA sequence d) antibotic resistance
As a clinical microbiologist, your job is to identify an infectious bacterial strain isolated from a patient. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. By growing the strain in glucose carbohydrate tubes, you found that the organism is positive for glucose fermentation. After genome sequencing and biochemical analysis, you know that your organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis, and that it contains a TCA cycle and an electron transport chain.
