Answer:

All are used to resolve questions in molecular and biochemistry/biotechnology

Explanation:

PCR: resolution of an amplicong on agarose gel to chech size after thermocycling

DNA gel electrophoresis,

Recombinant DNA, A DNA fragment that it attached to another such as a reporter, commonly used is GFP attached to protein of interest to track movement

Cloning, Duplicate an amplicon, insert into a vector, transform this vector into a bacteria that is designed to make multiple copies of itself

Northern blots, Method used to detect different sizes RNA from a mixture of other products

Southern blots, method used to detect different sizes of DNA similar to the idea of a Northern Blot

Western blots, Resolution of protein sizes by running the protein through an acrylamide gel in an ionic buffer

Antibody production (polyclonal and monoclonal),  Generating an antigen against a protein using different parts of the same protein (polyclonal) or only a specific sequence of the protein not a variety of antigens from the full length (monoclonal)

ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used to check the presence of a protein

FRET, Transmission energy of one molecule to another, it is usually included in the detection of colors in fluorescence microscopy

FRAP, this method will is called Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, a microscospy measurement

FACS, this is a type of cell sorting Fluorescence-activated cell sorting

Fractionation by centrifugation, Lysis of agents such as cells that can be lysed by spinning in a centrifuge

Chromatography, separation of chemical thru a media by colors

Fluorescence microscopy,  use of fluorophore to detect specimen under a microscope a specific wavelength

Coomassie staining,  procedure used to stain an acrylamide gel or membrane to show protein presence

Silver staining, use of a silver colloid to change the way proteins are seen on a Western blot or under a microscope

His tag, a string of histidine residues attached to a protein for easy manipulation/detection

GST tag, Glutathione S-transferases is a group of proteins used in protein purification an option other than His tag

Confocal microscopy,

FISH, The generation of a nucleotide probe used in DNA sequence detection in histology

PCR, Polymerized chain reaction used to amplify selected region of DNA

DNA library, the collection of gDNA of a specific specie or tissue

cDNA library, collection of the coding sequence of a organism/tissue

Microarrays, the platform used to detect thousands of gene sequences at once

Sanger sequencing, Method used to derrive DNA sequence developed by Frederick Sanger by incorporating a single nucleotide at a time

GFP, Green fluorescent protein, a reporter protein used in recombination protein creation

Bright field microscopy, microscopy that uses light or natural light to detect samples

DIC microscopy, Differential interference contrast is used to detect and enhance the different levels of contrast of a specimen

Phase contrast microscopy, Microscopy technique used to detect the different states of matter of a specimen

Fluorescence microscopy, use of fluorophore attached to sample for investigation

Transmission electron microscopy, uses beams of electrons to pass through a sample to then create an image

Scanning electron microscopy,  the surface of a sample is scanned with a beam of electrons to generate an image

X ray crystallography, determining a structure of a protein my using an x-ray technique

2D PAGE electrophoresis,  separation of proteins by two phases sizes and charges

NMR,  Nuclear magnetic resonance, spinning of all the nuclei and measurement of the energy that it gives off.

Mass spectrometry Protein sequencing technique based on weight

Why is preventing pollution at its source the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk ?
malfutka [58]
For the environmental risk, it is much better to prevent pollution than to deal with it after it has already been made. When you deal with the pollution, it is hard to say that you can eliminate completely. So, prevention is the first strategy.

A conservation plan could proceed with a single 20-square kilometer habitat preserve or with two habitat preserves, measuring a
Aleksandr [31]

A conversational plan with two habitat preserves, measuring a total of 20 square kilometers combined will preserve more species because this cause segregation of species based on their adaptability towards a safer and secure environment. For example if a lion and deer try to live in the same conservation area, then it’s obvious that the life of deer is always at risk. But in cases of segregated preserved areas both herbivorous and carnivorous animals can live separately. Also if there is special inclination of one species towards other then also these two species can live separately.  

Segregation also enhances the diversity in the sense that it could lead to a new ecosystem with a new ecological balance within it. Conservation biologists focus on these areas as they claim that  where the greatest number of unique species can be found and protected with in the large number of reserve areas with the least amount of effort

1. How are Lipids and Fatty Acids similar? How are they different?<br><br> Use evidence
Eduardwww [97]

Explanation:

Similar: Fatty acids are generally long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one of the ends. While Lipids are polymers of fatty acids with a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a small polar oxygen group.

Different: Fats are actually a type of lipid. Lipids are a major class of biochemical compounds that includes oils as well as fats. Organisms use lipids to store energy and for many other uses. Lipid molecules consist mainly of repeating units called fatty acids.

Nitrogen makes up a significant part of which class of biological compounds?
disa [49]
Nitrogen is the most important constituent of the amino acids, which combine together to form peptides and proteins. Proteins are the building blocks and are involved in structure, functioning and regulation of various body parts. They are also present in the form of enzymes and are crucial.
