Acid-fast and Gram is used to visualize the structures in a membrane.

It is a differential staining procedure which is used to identify, mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae.

Acid-fast bacteria are considered to be gram-positive in terms of their structure as, they contains peptidoglycan in its cell wall.

They stain poorly with Gram stain procedure, and appears as weak Gram-positive.

Membranes are consisted of lipid bilayer, which is doubled layer of phospholipid, glycolipid and cholesterol molecules, which contains the chains of fatty acids, and

determines weather a membrane is formed into long flat sheets or round vesicles.

To examine the membrane protein structure, Electron microscopy technology is used and it enables the visualization of single protein at nanometers resolution.

kupik [55]

A: if the oak trees are I'll then it would affect their health which they'll star dying which means that all the biotic organisms that depended on those oak trees for shelter would also start dying which means all the organisms that depended on the oak tree organisms would also die and so on. That way this small change will affect the whole animal community in that area.
B: this change in biodiversity will greatly affect the sustainability of the forest because the animals dying would disrupt the food chain in that ecosystem while killing the whole forest.

How are nails formed

Damm [24]

Nails start in the nail root, hidden under the cuticle. When cells at the root of the nail grow, the new nail cells push out the old nail cells. These old cells flatten and harden, thanks to keratin, a protein made by these cells. The newly fromed nail then slides along the nail bed, the flat surface under your nails.
