Yes, that is true. What is your question?
Hello!
An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.
The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.
An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.
The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.
The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.
The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.
The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.
Hope this helps!
A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.
This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.
B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).
This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.
C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).
This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.
D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.
One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.
E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.
This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.
When your body temperature rises because of an infection, it's called a fever<span>. </span>Fevers<span> are caused by chemicals called pyrogens flowing in the bloodstream. Pyrogens make their way to the hypothalamus in the brain, which is in charge of regulating body temperature.</span>
