An example of the use of acid-fast staining is the staining of bacteria that have mycolic acids in their membrane, also called acid-fast bacteria because they resist unstaining with this acid-alcohol mixture. Because of this characteristic, such bacteria are not gram-stained. Therefore, B is not the answer.

To perform this staining you must first make a smear of the bacteria and fix it on the slide and then stain it. The immersion in acid alcohol is done during the staining process and the observation under the immersion lens at the end of the staining. Therefore, the answer is C

Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures
podryga [215]

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Plz help!!<br><br> List 3 ways that scientists and engineers develop, use, and refine models
julia-pushkina [17]
These are some ways how scientists and engineers develop, use and refine models.

1. Imagine. They have to know what exactly trying to model. They have to imagine and brainstorm what are the things to be considered.

2. Reason. Next, they need to answer the questions brought  from their brainstorming. They need to be able to reason out.

3. Calculate and Predict. Once they know it, that's the time they can start modelling and calculate - and predict.
