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.

What charge must the food dyes have had in order to move through the electrophoresis chamber?

In an electrophoresis chamber, food dyes must carry a net charge that allows them to migrate towards the electrode of opposite charge. Typically, if the chamber is set up with a positive electrode (anode) at one end and a negative electrode (cathode) at the other, the dyes must be negatively charged to move toward the positive electrode. Conversely, if the dyes are positively charged, they would migrate towards the negative electrode. The specific charge of the dyes can depend on the pH of the medium and the chemical properties of the dyes themselves.


A particle that leaves a short thick trail in a cloud chamber?

The particle that leaves a short, thick trail in a cloud chamber is likely an alpha particle. Alpha particles are positively charged and relatively heavy, which causes them to ionize the gas molecules in the chamber, creating a dense trail.


What would happen to a plasma if it were placed in a chamber with positively charged walls?

The positively charged walls would attract the negatively charged electrons in the plasma, causing them to move towards the walls. This would lead to the plasma losing its overall neutrality and some particles sticking to the walls, potentially changing its composition and behavior.


What is vertical gel electrophoresis unit?

A vertical gel electrophoresis unit is a laboratory device used to separate nucleic acids or proteins based on their size using an electric field. It consists of a gel-filled chamber in which samples are loaded at the top and migrate downwards during electrophoresis. Vertical units are commonly used for DNA or protein analysis due to their ability to separate molecules with high resolution.


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.


How many molecules of nitrogen filled chamber at STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE if the chamber is WIDTH x 300 litres?

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies approximately 22.4 liters. So, to calculate the number of molecules of nitrogen in the chamber, you would first need to convert the volume of the chamber from liters to moles, then use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) to calculate the number of molecules of nitrogen in the chamber.


When hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules are burned in a closed chamber what are the result?

When hydrogen and oxygen molecules are burned in a closed chamber, they react to form water molecules (H2O) as a result of combustion. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light.


Why do you place the wells near the negative electrode of the gel chamber?

Placing the wells near the negative electrode in a gel electrophoresis setup allows the negatively charged DNA or RNA samples to migrate towards the positive electrode. This orientation facilitates the separation of nucleic acids based on size, as smaller fragments move faster through the gel matrix than larger ones. Additionally, positioning the wells near the negative electrode minimizes the risk of sample loss due to diffusion before the electrophoresis begins.


What are the different parts of electrophoresis?

The main parts of electrophoresis are the gel matrix (such as agarose or polyacrylamide gel), the electrophoresis chamber (which contains electrodes for creating an electric field), and the power supply (which provides the electric current). Sample wells, buffer solutions, and a visualization method (like staining or fluorescence) are also key components.


What is the mass of an evacuated chamber?

The mass of an evacuated chamber is the mass of the chamber. If you are asking about the mass of the volume of the evacuated chamber, then it is zero.


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.


Why doesn't the total pressure increase when more gas is added to the chamber?

The total pressure doesn't increase when more gas is added to the chamber because the gas molecules spread out and occupy more space, leading to a decrease in the frequency of collisions between the molecules and the walls of the chamber. This results in a balanced pressure that remains constant.
