a: agarose ~
b: a sieve
What:
"The agarose helps separate the molecules by size. The agarose is like a sieve and larger molecules have
a harder time moving through than smaller molecules. "

a: Agarose ~
b: a sponge with small holes
What: "The agarose is like a sponge with small holes in it. Therefore, the smaller DNA fragments can move through the gel at a faster rate than larger fragments and the larger fragments are found nearer the point of origin."

a: sucrose ~
b: two friends
What:
"The intestinal wall controls what particles can pass through, and in the case of sugars, it only allows one at a time. Picture a revolving door; two people holding hands are walking toward the door but must let go of each other to enter the doorway. Sucrose is like two friends, one named glucose and one fructose, holding hands. This link must be broken, so that glucose and fructose can find their specific doorway, go through it and go into the bloodstream."

a: sucrose ~
b: square box
What:
"For a bit of extra info, aspartame has 0 calories because it can't be broken down and have its energy extracted for use or storage as fat. Your body takes molecules apart, which releases energy. To use the handle analogy, sucrose is like a square box with a bar screwed onto it, and your body uses a screwdriver to take it apart. Aspartame is a ball with a bar nailed onto it. Your body doesn't have a claw hammer to take it apart."

A Molecular Maze It Is
a: Agarose gel ~
b: complex maze with very tiny channels
What: "An agarose gel is like a complex maze with very tiny channels. DNA has a negative charge and will move toward the positive pole in an electrical field. Short pieces of DNA navigate more easily through the maze and therefore move a greater distance. An indicator dye is added to the DNA digest prior to injecting it into the gel so that the researcher can tell when the small fragments have run the length of the gel."

a: Agarose gel ~
b: strainer
What: "Proteins are like different sized noodles and the agarose gel is like a strainer, filled with little holes. Proteins that are small moves easily through the holes in the agarose gel, while larger proteins move more slowly, getting stuck in the holes in the gel. Thus, protein gel electrophoresis allows students to spread out the proteins from different bovine tissues, creating a protein fingerprint that serves as a barcode to identify that type of cell or tissue."
