Carbolfuchsin used in the original acid fast stain consisted of 0.3 g basic Fuchs in 10 ml 95% ethanol 5ml phenol and 95 ml wate

r . The recipe for the kingpin modification is 4 g basic fuchsin in 20 ml ethanol 8g phenol and 100 ml water . The original acid fast stain require heating the smear to force the carbolfuchsin into the wall. Why can heat be eliminated in the kingpin modification that you used ?

Answer:

The reason is that, the mycobacterium wax-like lipid such as Nocardia is not susceptible to staining or decolorization, hence, the heat allowed penetration of the stain. Also, the kinyoun modification does not require heat because a more concentrated fuchsin is used

Explanation:

The Kinyoun method or stain, otherwise known as cold method, is a procedure used to stain acid-fast species of the bacterial genera Mycobacterium and Nocardia and the apicomplexan genus Cryptosporidium.

Developed by Joseph Kinyoun, researched that, given particular species of bacteria that have a waxy lipid called mycolic acid, in their cell walls, this allow them to be stained with Acid-Fast better than a Gram-Stain.

This is due to the fact that mycobacteria, has the special ability to resist staining or decolorization byacid-alcohol, hence, it was termed acid-fast.

The procedure involves the application of a primary stain (basic fuchsin), a decolorizer (acid-alcohol), and a counterstain

Therefore, in this case, the reason the heat can be eliminated in the kingpin modification is that, the mycobacterium wax-like lipid such as Nocardia is not susceptible to staining or decolorization, hence, the heat allowed penetration of the stain. Also, the kinyoun modification does not require heat because a more concentrated fuchsin is used.

Heat from the sun makes it through near the Antarctic (where the hole is) is melting the ice and not allowing some key species to feed. seals don't have ice to come up for air through like normal so polar bears starve. loss of land means less food for a lot of species because the hunting grounds is closing and there is no room to expand.

How many organelles are in plant cells? please list them. :)
Murrr4er [49]
There are 11 organelles in total, 
vacuoles: they store water
Chloroplasts: trap energy from the sun to produce food for plant cell
Cell wall: provides support and protection to the cell membrane, 
Cell membrane: thin flexible barrier around a cell, controls what enters/ leaves the cell
Nucleus: 'The control center', carries the DNA of the cell
Ribosomes: Found in all cells, their jobs are to make protein 
Endoplasmic Reticulum: The internal delivery system of the cell
Golgi complex: Transports materials throughout the cell
Lysosomes: Break down food into particles the cell can use. another function is they destroy old or dying cells 
Mitochondria: Breaks down food to make ATP 
and last but not least cytoplasm a jelly like fluid in the cell that keeps the organelles suspended

What has a biconcave shape to increase its surface area​
jeka94

Explanation:

The human erythrocyte adopts a distinctive biconcave disc form in vivo. ... It has been suggested that this shape maximises the surface area to volume ratio and thus expedites diffusion.
