<span>During Glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of the cell. Pyruvic acid is then moved into the inner matrix of the mitochondria, which is the organelle within the cell responsible for the generation of energy. The pyruvic acid molecule is converted into acetyl Co-A, which is the molecule that enters the Krebs Cycle. In the Krebs Cycle, acetyl Co-A is attached to oxaloacetate acid to form citric acid; the Krebs Cycle is alternately known as the citric acid cycle.</span>
Gel electrophoresis is a method of genetic analysis which involves seperating segments of DNA based on their size and charge.
It involves cutting DNA with various enzymes, then placing the DNA in an agarose gel. An electrical current is then run through the gel. Because DNA is a polar molecule the DNA segments will travel through the agarose cell as the current is applied. Larger fragments will travel shorter distances than shorter fragments. Two plates with 2 different DNA samples will be conducted and the orientation of the DNA strands will be used to make an analysis by comparing the 2 plates.
Testable and rejectable.
Recorded data may be quantitative or qualitative.
