You are Gram staining a known sample that contains both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. After you complete the stainin

g, you observe the following. Which of the following statements would apply to the image you see? A. This image could be explained by omission of the Gram's iodine step, causing all cells to appear gram-negative. B. This image could be explained by leaving the primary stain step on the smear for too long, causing all cells to absorb the red color. C. This image could be explained by omission of the decolorizing step, leading all cells to appear gram-negative. D. This image could be explained by leaving safranin dye on the smear for too long, causing all cells to wash out the purple color You are Gram staining a known sample that contains both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. After you complete the staining, you realize that you did not perform the safranin step. Which of the following statements would correctly describe what you would see? A. Gram-negative organisms might incorrectly stain purple. B. Gram-negative organisms might not be visible. C. You would not be able to view any organisms on the slide. D. Gram-positive organisms might incorrectly stain red.

A - This image could be explained by skipping the iodine step in the Gram reaction, which would make all cells appear to be gram-negative.

All cells in a gram stain would be pink if iodine were absent. In bacteria with a thick peptidoglycan wall, the iodine acts as a mordant and maintains the color of the initial crystal violet stain. If iodine were not used, the stain would disappear when alcohol was applied.

B - It's possible that gram-negative creatures are invisible.

After Gram staining, gram negative bacteria show a mild reddish appearance under a light microscope. This is due to the fact that their cell wall's structure prevents them from retaining the crystal violet stain, so they are only colored by the safranin counterstain.

Kiara has a red bird feeder, and her neighbor has a blue bird feeder. Kiara observed that most birds go to her neighbor's blue
valkas [14]

Her hypothesis was probably inaccurate. She should conclude that the birds are not at her feeder for another reason.

Explanation:

  • The colour of the feeder is not the reason because even after changing the colour of the feeder to blue , the birds are not attracted to Kiara's feeder. Thus, it is clear that colour is not an interest for the birds.
  • Secondly, we can draw a conclusion to the fact that blue colour is not the factor because Birds have a strong sense about Red and orange colour, which is evident from the adaptation of ornithophilous flower which are red, Yellow or Bright orange in colour. Thus if we consider colour as a factor of attraction then the bird's should have come to Kiara's red bird feeder.

Contrast two different methods of detecting and counting microbial populations. what are their advantages and disadvantages?
DIA [1.3K]
The microbes can be enumerated by streaking, pour plating, or spreading.
Streak plate gives isolated colonies, in which the counting of the microbial colony forming units is easier. 
Pour plating is mostly used for food items. The bacterial load in the foods is counted by this techniques, as chances of error are less in the pour plates technique, but one has to be careful, to not to add hot media on the inoculum, otherwise it will kill the microbes.
Spreading is also used in some cases, one has to be cautious to evenly spread the culture, as a small amount of culture is used in this technique.
