A bacterial cell that contains an outer membrane and periplasmic space stains pink to red on Gram stain. Which one of the follow

ing statements explains this discrepancy?a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.b. Something is wrong with the lot of stains and may be expired. The Gram stain reagents are most likely expired.c. The bacteria were subjected to too much alcohol during the decolorization process, causing the organism to absorb the pink-to-red dye.d. The bacteria with an outer membrane and periplasmic space should not be Gram stained because of their cell wall content.

Answer:

a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.

Explanation:

Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.

What is the correct sequence after an egg is fertilized?
Jobisdone [24]
A fertilized egg is called a zygote until it divides into 16 cells, forming a ball-shaped structure called a morula. The events during the zygote stage involve the integration of both parents' DNA into the cell nucleus and the beginning of rapid cell division, or cleavage.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

prenatal environments

Explanation:

Depending on the number of fertilized eggs and when the zygote division occurs, there are different types of twins. For example, If the zygote is formed by the union of an ovule and a sperm that after fertilization is divided to create two embryos, they are born identical twins, these babies carry the same genetic information.

what do you think earth looked like millions ago? Explain how plants and animals may have been different then from what they are
vitfil [10]

The earth may be covered by many plants and have more water resource,fresh air,and natural resources than now because their is no any pollutant that can pollute the air water and soil so there may not be any kind of pollution and also there is more plant resource than now because now a day's most forests and plant vegetations are cuted down to make houses and also huge factories.
