Answer:

The result will give a smear background of red color or pink , while the  specimen(cell) will turn blue.This is an example of ROMANOWSKY staining.Its main objective is to increase the contrasts for better view.

Explanation:

Histologically,   staining is the process of  adding colors to the speciemen under  focus who can not be discern with naked here to have increase in contrast  to ensure a well defined view.

Eosin is a staining dye that is acidic in nature, while methylene blue is basic,the reaction mixture will separate  the red  color background of  from the blue color of the cell giving a clear contrast .

This technique is mainly used for

1. blood staining and bone marrow staining (biopses)  for disease detection.

2.malaria detection.

3. for Cerecrospinal fluid and lumber puncture  staining,in cytopathology.

<u>Eviences has  shown  that;the mixture  of eosin and methylene blue do not produce the red/blu coloration, but rather the replacement of the methylene blue with AZURE B</u>

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

15. Which of the following sources of pollution is currently considered the dominant source of carbon dioxide? (a) Cellular resp
drek231 [11]

Answer:

c) Combustion of fossil fuels

Explanation:

Burning of fossil fuels is the main cause of increasing carbondioxide concentration in the environment which results in air pollution. This increase in carbondioxide concentration absorbed more heat energy from reflected solar radiation which increases the temperature of earth surface causes global warming. Due to this global warming, snow melting occurs on the poles of the earth which increases sea level.

Hi everyone
professor190 [17]

Amino acids are acids on one hand, and a base on the other hand.

<h3>What is an acid?</h3>

An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen or hydroxonium ions as the only positively charged ion when it ionizes.

All amino acids have an amine group -NH_2 and a carboxylic group -COOH.

The carboxylic group ionizes such that:

COOH -- > COO^- + H^+

The presence of the amine group enables amino acids to also act as a base.
