You were running late for class, so in an effort to be efficient, you decided to combine your milk and orange juice in one glass

so that you could drink both together. Not only did it taste gross, but the milk actually curdled. What caused the milk to curdle? (hint: orange juice is an acidic product) The orange juice changed the primary structure of the milk proteins. The milk proteins acted as an emulsifier between the orange juice and the lipids in the milk. The milk proteins were denatured due to the acidity of the orange juice. Gelation occurred between the milk protein and the pulp in the orange juice.

Answer: The milk proteins were denatured due to the acidity of the orange juice.

Explanation:

Any acidic solution, such as the orange juice in this example, would make milk curdle. The milk curdled because of the acidity of the orange juice made the milk proteins denatured.

That's because orange juice is an acidic solution while milk acts as a buffer, meaning it shields the acidity of the orange juice, making the milk curdle.

Which of the following statements about DNA isolation from E. coli is not correct?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. detergent is used to break apart plant cells to extract DNA.

Explanation:

Here we are talking about DNA isolation in E.coli and detergent is used to break apart the bacterial cell membrane by destabilizing the cell membrane. Detergent disintegrates the proteins present in the cell membrane which causes the rupture of membrane releasing the cell extract outside the cell.  

Detergent is not able to break plant cell because it is made up of cellulose and require blending or mashing. Detergent can only be used to disintegrate the cell membrane because only cell membranes contain lipids and proteins.

Hence, the correct answer is c.  detergent is used to break apart plant cells to extract DNA.
