Answer:

<em>Chlorophyll is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. It's molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring. The reason that chlorophyll is green is because it absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue, so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it. Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!</em>

Chlorophyll is a part of plants that makes food like sugars and starches in order for the plant to survive. The green pigmentation that it has comes from absorbing the red and blue light hues in the surrounding areas to reflect it back as green as blue and red make green.

What can you tell about bacteria that have been Gram stained?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

D) A and C

Explanation:

Gram staining is a laboratory technique used for bacterial species. It is used to differentiate between two groups of bacteria based on the components of their cell wall. Gram staining was developed by a scientist called Christian Gram in the year 1884. In the gram stain procedure, the following occurs:

- Due to the thick peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM POSITIVE bacteria retains the crystal violet due and stain VIOLET.

- On the contrary, due to the thin peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye and hence stain, RED.

Based on this, a bacteria that has been gram stained has been tested for its GRAM REACTION and microscopic morphological characteristics, since it is a microbe.
