Contrast the three types of heat transfer

Biology
1 answer:
topjm [15]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There are three modes of heat transfer.

1. Conduction

2. Convection

3. Radiation

1. Conduction: Heat transfer through the process of conduction occurs in substances which are in direct contact with each other. It generally takes place in solids.

For example: When frying vegetables in a pan. Heat transfer takes place from flame to the pan and then to the vegetables.

2. Convection: In this process, heat is transferred in the liquid and gases from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Convection heat transfer occurs partly due to the actual movement of molecules or due to the mass transfer.

For example: Heating of milk in a pan.

3. Radiation : It is the process in which heat is transferred from one body to another body without involving the molecules of the medium. Radiation heat transfer does not depend on the medium.

For example: In a microwave, the substances are heated directly without any heating medium.

Match the staining techniques with their purpose.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.

This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.

B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).  

This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.

C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).  

This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.

D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.

One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.

E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.  

This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.
