Candy Electrophoresis

1. When we analyzed our end results, some of our gel moved into other spots and mixed with other colors.

2. The color red structure is long and thin and when it moved in the gel it was long and thin. The structure of the green and carminic acid was short and large, and when they moved in the gel it was large and pretty short. The citrus red 2 structure and when it moved in the gel was very short and thin. 

3. Dog food manufacturers put artificial food colors in dog food becuase, then the owner would think it looks more pleasing and would buy the one with the food dye. 

4. Weren't supposed to do

5. The two factors that control the distance the colored dye solutions migrate is the structure and what it is made of

6. The force that helps move the dye through the gel is the negative and positive charge put in.

7. The component of the electrophoresis system that causes the molecule to separate by size is the structure of the dye whether it moves long or short 

8. I would think that 5000 would be the shortest 2000 to be longer then 5000 and 1000 to be longer and 600 to be the longest because the less weight the easier it gets pushed through the gel.
