Answer:

All the bacteria would appear purple(gram- positive)

Explanation:

Gram stain is used for distinguishing gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria appear purple because it does not gets destain after decolorizing step and gram-negative bacteria appears read or pink because it gets decolorized after decolorizing step and then it gets stained by safranin which provides a pink color to gram-negative bacteria.

So if a student forgot the decolorizing step then gram-negative bacteria will not get decolorized and will not take safranin stain so even gram-negative cells will appear violet. Therefore all the bacteria will appear violet or purple(gram-positive).

The essential amino acids are not synthesized by our body so we must have to take these essential amino acids through food. So vegetarians, especially vegans, need to consume adequate amounts of the essential amino acids by choosing complementary proteins and eating plant sources of complete protein like soy and quinoa.
