College Biology:Data Acquisition and Analysis

PASCO

pasco.com/biology 2 916-786-3800

Many years ago PASCO was born out of a science fair project, “The measurement of the charge of an electron.” So, designing equipment to make measurements in the science lab is a part of our DNA. For the past 47 years we have focused on developing and manufacturing better science instruments for science education.

We have also learned much over these years about what you require for instrumentation in your lab: accurate and repeatable measurement, durability, ease of use, a full set of analysis tools, and low cost. This is exactly what you will find in PASCO’s SPARKscience learning program. On the following pages you will find the SPARKscience solution for College Biology.

At PASCO we always remember that our role is to help you, the instructor, in the laboratory or field. We can only be successful when you are successful.

From the entire PASCO team, some 200 instructors, researchers, engineers, and professionals at PASCO, and our Science Education Partners worldwide... thank you for allowing us to be a partner in your biology laboratory.

Application – Ethanol Fermentation

5pasco.com/biology

The EcoChamber and sensors give a closed environment to study yeast activity.

Dissolved OxygenPS-2108

Ethanol SensorPS-2194

With the Photosynthesis Tank, students can measure the dissolved oxygen content in the environment of an aquatic plant. The PASPORT Dissolved Oxygen Sensor (or Water Quality Sensor) measures the oxygen concentration directly and provides quantitative results without the need for inferred measurements or chemical indicators. No more “what you should have seen is...” Turning the light on and off creates an easily analyzed graph in real time. Students can further their understanding of photosynthetic rates by adding dyes as colored filters.

Why rely on indirect indications of yeast activity during fermentation? PASCO offers a better way. The EcoChamber provides a closed system that is both durable and transparent and allows students to use Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Ethanol Sensors for a complete picture of what is going on during anaerobic respiration.Challenge students to explain the changes in concentration of each gas as the activity progresses, including the point at which the yeast predominantly changes from aerobic to anaerobic respiration.

Diffusion/Osmosis KitME-6942

Measure Diffusion and Osmosis Directly!


While every biology student has seen a U-shaped tube with a permeable membrane separating a hypotonic and hypertonic solution, few have actually used this simple and elegant design for lab work. The Diffusion/Osmosis Kit contains the apparatus and a Dual Pressure Sensor that allows students to explore the rate of water movement. Students can quantify pressure changes accurately and in a fraction of the time it would take with a dialysis bag.

Includes: Diffusion/ Osmosis Apparatus (20 membranes and mounting stud), Dual Pressure Sensor (PS-2181), tubing, and connectors.

Students can observe water moving from the hypotonic side to the hypertonic side, across the membrane, down its concentration gradient.

The pre-cut, semipermeable dialysis membrane separates the apparatus into two chambers.

The apparatus is modeled after this classic and recognizable image.

The graph shows the pressure changes that occurred in the hypotonic and hypertonic chambers over 24 hours.

Features:P Graduated transparent columns

P Air-tight joints prevent pressure leaks

P Free-standing unit requires no additional lab equipment to hold it in place

P Plastic rather than glass columns improve durability and student safety

Also Available: Diffusion/Osmosis Apparatus (no sensor) ME-6940 Replacement Membranes (20-pack) ME-6941

How it works:The U-shaped tube of the Diffusion/Osmosis Apparatus consists of two separate columns connected by a semipermeable dialysis membrane. Osmotic movement of water across the membrane causes measurable changes in pressure and volume.

Through pedigree construction and gel electrophoresis, students discover how a mitochondrial disease is inherited and diagnosed.

An Affordable Kit for Studying Genetics and Biotechnology Some diseases in organs with high energy demands – such as the eyes, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and heart – are the result of mutations in mitochondrial DNA. In this inquiry-based activity, students discover how a mitochondrial disease is inherited and diagnosed. (Activity jointly created by PASCO, the Carnegie Institution for Science, GENA, the Smithsonian Institute, and the University of Alabama.)

The Electrophoresis Classroom Set includes everything you need for six lab groups to conduct the mitochondrial genetics lab. Practice pipetting year after year using the DuraGel and measuring gels with the MtDNA GelSizer before using valuable consumables in the lab. Get fast results for two groups using the Dual Electrophoresis Apparatus by running two 7x7 gels simultaneously.

This lab uses molecular techniques to answer a question about how a mitochondrial disease is inherited and diagnosed. The lab consists of two essential activities: pedigree construction from patient case histories,

and molecular analysis of a point mutation in the mitochondrial genome. Students use restriction endonuclease digests and agarose gel electrophoresis to diagnose an inherited mitochondrial disease. They construct pedigrees from patient case histories and correlate patterns of inheritance with molecular diagnosis. Finally, they investigate the relation-ship between mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA in the synthesis of the protein complexes of the electron transport chain.

Get faster, more accurate results from the labs you already do, such as plant pigmentation absorption.

SpecificationsRange: 350-850 nmResolution: 3 nm

With SPARKscience and the Amadeus Spectrometer System, students can conduct this classic lab in a fraction of the time. The ability to instantly see results challenges common misconceptions before students write their reports.

Set up a potometer using the Barometer/Low Pressure Sensor to measure those very small changes in pressure that indicate transpiration is taking place. By varying factors on the plant such as the presence of wind or humidity, students can see what effect environmental influences have on the rate of transpiration.

Using a plastic bag with water mimics a tropical environment in which a plant would experience less transpiration. Using a fan mimics windy environments where plants experience increased transpiration.

Students investigate transpiration using a very sensitive potometer that incorporates the PASPORT Barometer/Low Pressure Sensor.
