Answer:

reduce the formation of air bubbles.

Explanation:

Coverslips are used to cover the microscope slides and they are nothing but a small piece of glass usually cut int a square or rectangular shape.
The function fo the coverslip is to make the specimen flat that is to be viewed under the microscope as well as prevent any kind of evaporation to take place for the sample.
Further, the coverslips protect the samples mounted onto the slide from dust and other environmental factors that can lead to the spoilage of the specimen.
Whenever a sample is mounted onto the slide, the coverslip needs to be paced gently at an angle of 45 degrees otherwise it can lead to the formation of air bubbles.

The space between the cell wall and outer membrane in a prokaryotic cell is called the _____ space.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Attached is a picture/diagram of both a gram negative bacteria and a gram positive bacteria. This question most likely pertains to gram negative bacteria as only gram negative bacteria as an outer lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membrane.

It should be noted that there must be an error in the question as the bacterial cell wall comprises of the peptidoglycan layer (for gram positive) or the outer membrane plus the peptidoglycan layer (in gram negative). The better question would be what is the space between the cell wall and the plasma membrane in a prokaryotic cell, and the answer is the periplasmic space.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. Eventually, those waste products would be sent out of the cell.
