MATERIALS AND METHODS
In order to estimate antimicrobial activity and to investigate the phytochemicals of of Mentha longifolia L. ,Pongamia glabra L. and Aloe vera L. a lab experiment was carried out in M.Phil lab of Botany. Department of Botany, University of Gujrat.
3.1) Collection and Identification of Plant Materials
The fresh leaves of Mentha longifolia L. ,Pongamia glabra L. and Aloe vera L. were collected from nursery of Gujrat, Pakistan. The specimens were identified with the help of Flora of Pakistan. Specimens were made by using the accustomed method by drying, pressing and mounting on the herbarium sheets. Specimens were deposited in the Herbarium of Botany Department, University of Gujrat. 3.2) Sample Preparation
The Plant material of (

Formation of intense yellow colour, which becomes colourless on addition of dilute acid, indicates the presence of flavonoids (Roopashree et al., 2008).
f) Detection of Phenols:
Test for Phenols: Extracts were treated with 3-4 drops of ferric chloride solution. Formation of bluish black color indicated the presence of phenols.
g) Detection of Carbohydrates:
Benedict's test: To 1 ml of the filtrate, 5 ml of Benedict's reagent were added. The mixture was heated; appearance of red precipitate indicated the presence of reducing sugars.
h) Detection of Proteins:
Millon's test: Small portion of the extract when mixed with 2ml of Millon's reagent, White precipitate appeared which turned red upon gentle heating that confirmed the presence of Protein.
i) Detection of Steroids:
Test for Steroids: The extract was mixed with 2ml of chloroform and concentrated sulphuric acid was added sidewise. A red color produced in the lower chloroform layer indicated the presence of steroids.
3.6) STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
M-STAT was used for the determination of mean ± SE using replicate data of
CI (.9500) /MISSING=ANALYSIS. T-Test Paired Samples Statistics Mean N Std. Deviation Std.
We added a pinch of magnesium sulfate before we began grinding. Next, we lined our rectangular piece of chromatography paper 3 cm from the bottom. Using a capillary, we collected the chlorophyll extract made and gently applied it to the line. We did repeat this process six
To test for reduced sugars, Benedict’s solution is used. If the substance turns to yellow, orange, or red, then it is positive. Biuret’s solution will be used to test for proteins. If
In the story "Marigolds", Lizbeth's actions are influenced by several setting issues including poverty, The Great Depression, and Miss Lottie’s Marigolds. Lizbeth's family is poor and struggling to make ends meet, which causes her to feel frustrated and powerless. "Poverty was the cage in which we all were trapped, and our hatred of it was still the vague, undirected restlessness of the zoo-bred flamingo who knows instinctively that nature created it to be free." The setting of Miss Lottie's garden, with its beautiful marigolds, represents a contrast to the poverty and ugliness of Lizbeth's surroundings, which makes her feel envious and resentful. "
Imagine moving away from home, changing schools, and having a family that won’t even give attention when needed. Paul goes through all of this, and he is left to make decisions that will change his life forever. Three choices Paul goes through are, changing schools, tattling on Tangerine Middle School soccer players, and informing the police about Arthur and Erik’s wrong doings. In the novel, Tangerine by Edward Bloor, Paul moves from Houston Texas to Tangerine Florida, and the first five months are filled with decisions and chaos. The choices made by Paul, and the consequences of those choices, affect the development of his character.
The presence of sugars are tested by a benedict’s reagent test is performed. The color blue means no sugar is present, yellow mean some sugar is present, and orange means a high amount of sugar is present. The test for lipids is quite simple, just drop a droplet of the solution on a piece of brown paper. If the solution is a lipid, it will leave an oily
Murder and a Meal: An Organic Compounds Lab Problem: Based on the contents of the victim's stomach, where did he eat his final meal? Background Information: A macromolecule is a molecule that contains a large number of atoms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids. Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization in which large compounds are built by the joining of smaller one together. The smaller units are known as monomers and monomers together form polymers. Macromolecules are important to living things for example
Another method that was used was the LC-MS/MS to analyze drugs found in her body, too. LC-MS/MS was used to compute ethyl glucuronide in her pubic hair as well as the GC-MS analysis was used to discover the misconduct of drugs in her pubic hair. After
If there is a color change, then it is known that protein is present in the solution. Finally, lipids are tested. 5 mL of water are added to 5 mL of oil. 5 drops of Sudan 3 are added, and if the color changes, then lipids are present. Next, the McMush is tested.
Macromolecule test 1 differs from the second chart by testing non-reducing sugars in the first test and proteins in the second. In depth the lab required to heat the sample at times, mix them, and add them to a warm water bath of 100 Celsius. The following graphs were obtained by following the guidelines within the
The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 18. Frequencies, cross tabulation, Pearson’s, chi-square test, ANOVA were used to analyze the data. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically
All data was rounded and expressed in three significant digits. An appropriate scale was determined
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the concentration of Bovine Serum Albumin protein through the use of the Lowry Assay. This was completed by first creating a standard curve from known concentrations of the Bovine Serum Albumin protein. First, it was essential to create ‘blank’ using water, and to measure the absorbance of the blank through the spectrophotometer. We were able to create several standards with known concentrations of BSA that included both low and high concentrations. After running the assay, we were able to graph a standard curve by plotting the known protein concentrations, in mg/L, against the spectrophotometer readings of absorbance.
The 3 concentrations of enzymes were 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml, and 2.0 ml of turnip extract, while the substrate consisted of 0.1ml, 0.2 ml, and 0.4 ml of hydrogen peroxide. In a separate tube, the control was made up of turnip extract and guaiacol, known as the color reagent. This was recorded the absorbance every 20 seconds for 3 minutes.
When exploring what is health, it looks at the idea of an individual being free from illness or injuries (World Health Organization 1948). WHO further explains that it is the state of complete: physical, mental, and social well-being and not the absence of disease or infirmity (health context, 2018) In 1986 during Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, WHO said health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living, also is a positive concept emphasizing social, personal resources, and physical capacities. There are different aspects that contribute and impact a person’s health such as their: family and friends, education or job, body, spirit and mind, and all these need to balance to ensure good health (health context, 2018).
