1 answer:

4 0

Answer 1: Gram staining can stain the outer structure of cell such as cell wall and cell membrane. This stain used to identify the gram positive and gram negative cell in a cluster of bacterial colony. These structure can not be stained by using methylene blue.

Answer 2: Methylene blue stain used to stain the internal structures of the cell including DNA in nucleus and RNA fractions in cytoplasm. These structures can not be stained and identified using gram staining.

Answer 3: A research paper (J. gen. Microbiol. (1963), 30, 223-235) stated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a gram positive bacteria.

Answer 4: A research paper (The Chemical Composition and Structure of the Yeast Cell Wall) provided the actual and true composition of yeast cell wall. According to this paper, yeast cell wall is composed of protein ( 13%), lipids (8.5%), and Polymaccharides (78%). While on the other hand cell wall of gram positive bacteria is composed of peptidogylcane (50-60%), lipids (1-4%), teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid. Further, cell wall of gram negative bacteria composed of lipopolysacharides, lipoproteins, peptidoglycane and lipids (11-12%).

A few individuals of a bird species fly to a small city that previously had no individuals of this species. The immigrant birds

svetlana [45]

Answer:

There are several factors that affects the population of a species in an area such as environmental conditions, number of predators and availability of food.

When first species of arrives in the city, city has adequate food and no predators, then the population of birds has increased for few years before arrival of the second flock of birds.n But after the arrival of second flock of birds after many years (might be 10 to 20 years) the population of first species of birds will decrease because now competition for food has increased and both the species will compete for same food present in the city. Extra birds arrival in the city will increase the competition among both species birds for food and the fittest bird will be able to survive.

Hence, the population size of birds (first flock) will decrease in the 10 to 20 years after the extra birds arrive.
