To enhance the cell :)
Scilla [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample.

Explanation:

The main reason you stain a specimen before putting it under the microscope is to get a better look at it, but staining does much more than simply highlight the outlines of cells. Some stains can penetrate cell walls and highlight cell components, and this can help scientists visualize metabolic processes.

Do prokaryotic organisms carry out<br> cellular respiration? If so, how?
Stella [2.4K]

Hi

Do prokaryotic organisms carry out  cellular respiration? If so, how?

The answer is yes as well as no, because some prokaryotes like Archeae and some bacteria donot use cellular respiration because they are anaerobic. The Archaea are also known as Methanogens that reduce Carbon di oxide from environment to Methane that is eventually oxidized to NADH (that is used as an energy source).

However, there are some bacteria that use cellular respiration as a source for the energy production.Cellular respiration is a process which occurs in the cells of higher living organisms as well as in cells of some small organisms like Bacteria. During process of cellular respiration in bacteria, glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen into water and Carbon di oxide. In the process of cellular respiration, bacteria just like humans goes through three stepsi.e Glycolysis, Kreb cycle and Electron transport chain that ultimately lead to the production of ATP (energy).

Hope it helps!

The table shows the relative size of the genomes (total DNA in the nucleus), number of genes, and number of chromosomes for a va
9966 [12]
You don't show the table...but you should see that the more complex an organism, the more chromosomes and the more genes it has.

A bacteria has a small genome. perhaps it has about 5000 genes. it also has 1 chromosome.

Yeast are more complicated than bacteria. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the yeast that makes beer, wine and bread, has about 6300 genes and 16 chromosomes.

A human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), and has likely around 20,000 genes.
