Answer:

Gram staining procedure is used to differentiate between the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. various reagents used in the gram staining are crystal-violet, iodine, ethanol, and safranin.

1. First, the primary strain that is crystal violet is used to stain the bacterial cells present present on the slide.

2. Then the iodine solution is added over the bacterial culture and held for 1 minute. Iodine makes a complex with the crystal violet in the cell wall of bacteria.

3. Then acetone is used as a decolorizer that decolorizes the gram-negative bacteria by dissolving its lipopolysaccharide cell wall but do not decolorize gram-positive bacteria because its cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan layer.

4. The last reagent is safranin which is used to stain decolorized gram-negative cells pink. Therefore the correct order of staining is:

Crystal violet→Iodine→acetone→sefranine

50N of force is applied to a kg box. What will the acceleration be

Cloud [144]

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

$\huge\boxed{50\frac{m}{s^-2}}$

DATA:

Force = 50N

Mass of the Body = 1kg

Acceleration = ?

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>SOLUTION:</h3>

By the second law of newton,

F = ma

Rearrange the equation,

a = $\frac{F}{m}$

Substitute the variables in the equation,

a = $\frac{50}{1}$

OR,

a = 50 m/s^2

Flura [38]

<h2>The Summer Drought Influence</h2>

The summer drought will influence the model badly because the water is used to make food. Water is the basic need of our life. It is used in everything in our lives like electricity production, washing dishes, and many other activities in daily life. We don’t have enough water means drought and this effect disturbs many people in many activities within various nations.

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. What type of bonds form

egoroff_w [7]

The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.
