what is the energy transformation as tefragments move through the gel?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The energy transformation involves electrical energy being converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Electrical energy to kinetic energy: When an electric field is applied to the gel, DNA fragments, which are negatively charged due to their phosphate backbone, move towards the positive electrode. The electrical energy from the electric field is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the DNA fragments through the gel matrix. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Electrical energy to thermal energy: As the DNA fragments move through the gel, there is resistance to their movement. This resistance causes the electrical energy to be partially converted into thermal energy, which can cause the gel to heat up during the electrophoresis process. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Energy transformation in gel electrophoresis ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ During gel electrophoresis, electrical energy is transformed into kinetic energy, which moves DNA fragments through the gel, and into thermal energy due to resistance within the gel matrix. ⚹◊What process is responsible for the movement of DNA fragments through the gel during gel electrophoresis in Biology?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
