MODULE 3 | Electrochemistry
Cards (23)
- study of chemical reactions that cause electrons to move
- flow of electrons
- process of moving electrons from one element to another
- chemical reaction in which one substance loses electrons while another gains them
- converts chemical energy into electrical energy
- converts electrical energy into chemical energy
- separation technique used to separate macromolecules in a fluid or gel based on their charge, binding affinity, and size under an electric field
- migration of charged molecules in a solution with the supporting medium
- migration of charged molecules in a free-moving solution, without the presence of a supporting medium
- technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size
- supplies electricity to the electrophoresis system
- an acrylic box that holds the agarose gel containing DNA samples
- where the agarose gel is placed and helps the gel slide out of the casting tray when finished
- placed in the slots on the side of the tray before the gel is poured
- provides a place to put the samples to be tested
- lets the DNA molecules travel within it
- conducts electric current
- an intercalating agent, used as a fluorescent tag to visualize DNA molecules under UV light
- set of standards used for determining the approximate size of a protein or nucleic acid fragment run on an electrophoresis gel
- substance that carry charge between the electrodes
