Answer:

They are gram positive bacteria

Explanation:

To find out if the bacteria is gram negative or gram positive, the Gram Test is done. This test allows bacteria to be viewed under the light microscope, since without staining it is impossible to observe or identify their structure. The Gram Test involves 3 main steps:

• Crystal violet staining (a water soluble dye, purple);

• Discoloration (using ethanol / acetone);

• Counterstaining (using Safranina dye, red).

After the test, bacteria that are violet-colored in the dye (such as the bacteria Melissa is observing) are called Gram positive. Gram-positive bacteria retain the violet crystal due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan (a polymer made up of sugars and amino acids that originates from a mesh outside the cell membrane of the bacteria) in their cell walls, showing the color Violet.  Gram-negative bacteria, on the other hand, have a thinner peptidoglycan wall that does not retain the violet crystal during the discoloration process and are red in the final staining process.

If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, a the turgor pressure will increase. b the turgor pressure will increase but
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

b the turgor pressure will increase but the cell wall prevents the cell from exploding

Explanation:

The plant cells are exposed in a change of pressure liquid depending the quantity of solids that are inside and outside the cell. Like in this case, the hypotonic solution is the one that has less solids outside the cell, that is the reason why the water enters the cell to equilibrate the concentration of solids inside and outside the cell.
