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>

malaria detection

Why is bacteria placed in the kingdom prokaryotes
sukhopar [10]
Prokaryotes are chiefly defined as cells without a nucleus to contain the genetic information. Bacteria do not have a nucleus but, like prokaryotes, a nucleoid region in the center where the DNA can be found. Bacteria also do not have membrane-bound organelles, but they do have ribosomes to synthesize proteins. Bacteria vary a lot in the different structures they can have, but these basic factors make bacteria prokaryotes.

Hope this helps! :)

when algae lives on a slth it is consirered a mutual symbiotic relationship. why is this an exampkle of mutualism
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Algae living on a sloth is considered an example of mutualism because both of them benefit from each other.

Mutualism is one of the symbiotic relationships in which both the two species living together benefit in one way or another. A considerable example of such a relationship is between algae and a sloth.

The algae provide camouflage to the sloth and protect it from predators while the sloth provides shelter to the algae for its growth. The sloth also gets nutrition from algae which perform photosynthesis and synthesize food.

Another mutual relationship is observed between the aphids and ants. Aphids produce honeydew as a waste product of their diet which is consumed by ants. While ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

To know more about mutualism, refer to the following link:

Which element of the scientific process can not be changed
andrew-mc [135]

I'm pretty sure that the constant in the scientific process can not be changed because it is constant. If constant isnt an option, a data record can not be changed.
