In the context of flow cytometry data:
It is clear that Lactobacillus cells can be detected based on their FSC (forward scatter) and SSC (side scatter) signal since it is above the noise. Thus, they could be quantified using these parameters without staining. Give two reasons as to why anyone would bother SYBRGreen (SG) staining samples that contain heterotrophs?
In an in vitro motility assay, a newly discovered motor protein is found to transport
an attached bead along a microtubule away from the end where fluorescent labeled
tubulin dimers assembled.
Which of the following are true? Select all that apply
The motor protein is transporting the bead towards the minus end
The motor protein is transporting the bead towards the plus end
The motor protein belongs to the dynein family
The motor protein belongs to the kinesin family

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?
