How do scientists distinguish between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria?

Biology

Nitella [24]3 years ago

<span>3)Add iodine (1 min) 
4)acid/alcohol wash (1 min) 
5)Flood with safranine (1min) 
6)Air dry and examine. 

These times are for clinical microbiology and experimental methods employ optimal and more precise times (but overall its pretty close). 

Down side of this method is that you must smear bacteria onto the slide and fix it by heating the underside of the slide with a bunsen burner. if they are pink then you have gram negative (Gram's stain didnt stick) if its purple then its gram positive(Gram's stain did stick) This is due to the peptidoglycan layers. Gram negative bacteria have only a thin layer of peptidoglycan as part of the cell membrane/wall where Gram positive have a very think peptidoglycan layer.</span>Source(s):<span>Medical Microbiology</span>

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14? A) These are forms of carbon and they
Kryger [21]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

All these carbon atoms are isotopes: they have the same amount of protons (in this case, 6 because carbon always has 6 protons) and the same amount of electrons (6 because the carbons given have a neutral charge).

Therefore, the only thing we are changing is the atomic mass and the amount of neutrons present in each isotope.

In Carbon-12, there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

In Carbon-13, there are 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

In Carbon-14, there are 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

How much oxygen is available at a peak of a mountain
sergij07 [2.7K]
Depends on what mountain you are on 


If you are on Everest, then the amount of effective oxygen available would be 6.9% (0 altitude would be 20.9) 

that is why anyone should always bring oxygen tanks when climbing a high mountain
