l matter from a human in whose intestine this bacterium lives can spread the bacterium, even after being mixed with water and boiled. The bacterium is susceptible to the penicillin family of antibiotics. It contains no plasmids and a lot of peptidoglycan.

Answer:

Bluish-purple color

Explanation:

It is given that the bacterium is susceptible to penicillin family of antibiotics. Penicillin only kills gram positive bacteria. It destroys them by inhibiting the peptidoglycan cell wall synthesis. Gram negative bacteria is not affected by penicillin because it has an outer membrane covering the cell wall. The lipopolysaccharide outer membrane does not allow penicillin to reach the cell wall. Hence, the bacteria in question is gram positive.

Gram positive bacteria is stained bluish-purple on gram staining because it retains the primary dye crystal violet after washing with alcohol. Whereas gram negative bacteria loses its outer membrane on washing with alcohol and picks up the secondary dye safranin, giving red color.

Hence, color of this bacterium will be bluish-purple after using gram staining technique.

Get twenty people, from various genders and ages, to be your testees. Create a random test that has both analytical and logical problems, and get the 'testees' (I have no idea if this is a word or not) to do the test before and after spending time outdoors.

An independent variable is how much time they spend outside, and the dependent is how well they function afterwards. (I think).

The constant is what stays the same, so most likely the tests in this case (if taking my example)

I don't really know what you mean by control, though...

This is what I would've done if it was my homework assignment, I'd suggest looking over my answers to see if they're accurate or not. Hope I helped, and good luck.

What are some non examples of microclimate?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Microclimates exist, for example, near bodies of water which may cool the local atmosphere, or in heavy urban areas where brick, concrete, and asphalt absorb the sun's energy, heat up, and re-radiate that heat to the ambient air: the resulting urban heat island is a kind of microclimate.
