Do positively charged DNA molecules flow to the negatively charged poles in the electrophoresis chamber?

Yes.
Positive(+) goes to negative(-). During gel electrophoresis, the positively charged molecules move to the negative cathode, and vis versa the negatively charged molecules move towards the positive anode.

How does agarose gel electrophoresis work?
Gel electrophoresis is the process by which molecules in a sample can be separated by charge and/or size. Firstly, agarose gel is prepared in a casting tray by placing the comb in the middle of the gel and placing end blocks on either end of the tray. After this solution has settled, the end blocks can be removed along with the comb. After the comb is removed, wells should be present within the agarose gel. Next, a buffer solution should be placed into the electrophoresis chamber; this solution conducts electricity which is needed in order to separate the molecules from the samples. Then (using a micropipette) each of the samples in the experiment will be loaded into a corresponding well in the agarose gel. Afterwards, the leads on the electrophoresis chamber must be connected to a power source; the process of gel electrophoresis will then begin.
What is the purpose of gel electrophoresis?
The buffer is the medium through which the current flows. In the electrophoresis chamber, the anode and cathode are separated and the gel is placed between them. In order to close the circuit and generate the voltage which causes the migration, the entire chamber is filled with a conductive buffer. It is actually possible to perform electrophoresis without a buffer; however this requires a specially made electrophoresis chamber. In these chambers the electrodes actually contact the top and bottom of the gel eliminating the need for a conductive buffer to close the circuit.SDS PAGE electrophoresis uses buffer not primarily as a conductor but for holding a desired pH, dissipating heat and providing SDS in excess in the case of denaturing gels. A gel would run without a buffer as the gel itself is a conductor but the currents involved would heat it to the point of decomposition. Also the volume of liquid in a gel does not allow for an adequate pH buffering system. Holding a pH is extremely important for reproducibility especially in native gels as the pH can change the charge on the peptide. It is true some gels do not require buffer but these are rare cases like isoelectric focusing.the primary application of the buffer would be to conduct electricity,to form a closed circuit
What is effusions?
effusion is the process where individual molecules flow through a hole without collisions between molecules. effusion is the process where the gas molecules are passed through a small opening to an evacuated chamber
What are some potential designs for a gel electrophoresis chamber?
a box and a chamber and a lid and a comb A gel electrophoresis can be made two different ways---horizontal or vertical. I'm doing a project with it right now, and honestly, I prefer the horizontal. I don't know how the vertical works, but the horizontal is pretty much a box inside a box with the lid and comb. The bigger box, or your chamber, should be large enough to fit all the wiring on each ends of it, and the smaller box, or the box, in the middle. Your box should have two removable walls on the ends in which the wells are facing, and slits on one end for the comb to go into. You should put the comb in and fill the box up with the gel, and when it dries, you take the comb out and take off both walls. The charge can then run through the walls and to the other side of the chamber.
What happens when gas molecules hit the inside of a rocket's combustion chamber?
The rocket pushes back on the gas.
What happens when gas molecules hit inside of the rocket's combustion chamber?
The rocket pushes back on the gas.
What will a chamber separated by a semi-permeable membrane with one side containing a mixture of molecules in water and the other side containing only water contain after an extended period of time?
The molecules in the one chamber will diffuse into the other through the semi-permeable membrane so that eventually, both sides will be identical in composition.
Why is the hole in an air gun chamber so small?
Because air molecules are very small and don't require a large hole
How does DNA migrate in electrophoresis?
Electrophoresis is performed in a buffer solution with a static pH. An electric field is applied to the electrophoresis chamber containing a positive end and a negative end. If the pH of the substance being electrophoresed is lower than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the positive end. If the substance has a pH higher than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the negative end. Substances migrate at different rates based on two things: particle size, and overall charge. The greater the difference between the migrating substance's pH and the pH of the surrounding buffer, the faster that substance will migrate through the gel. Large molecules get "stuck" due to friction forces and migrate less rapidly than smaller particles that can navigate through the gel with very little resistance.
What materials are made in electrolysis?
This depends on what you are electrolyzing. Water, the most common electrolyte, (the material being electrolyzed) separates into Hydrogen molecules on the cathode and Oxygen molecules at the anode. These gasses will bubble up to the top of the electrolysis chamber where they can be collected.
