Answer:
Does not take up the stain.
Explanation:
Negative staining refers to the process wherein the unstained specimen is visualized under the darkly stained background.
One of the examples is capsule staining wherein the capsulated cells are stained with India ink or nigrosin dyes. The particles of these dyes stain the background blue-black but cannot enter the capsule.
Hence, the light-colored capsulated cells are visualized in the midst of the blue-black background.
Answer:
(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)
(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.
Explanation:
(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n
t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)
Since t = kn, then, n = t/k
(b) Initial amount of strands = 300
Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360
k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand
Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)
Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours
