The correct order of steps in a gram staining procedure is:

(4) the specimen is treated with a stain called crystal violet.

(1) iodine is added as a fixative or mordant.

(3) the specimen is flushed with alcohol to dehydrate peptidoglycans and trap the stain.

(2) the specimen is treated with a stain such as safranin or fuchsin (a pink stain)

Gram staining is a common staining technique which helps to classify the bacteria into two categories: Gram positive and Gram negative. Gram positive bacteria appear violet in color and Gram negative bacteria appear to be pink. This color difference appears due to the difference in the bacterial cell walls.

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.
