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).

<span>
MitochondriaMitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.</span>

What is a function of the cell membrane?
guapka [62]

Answer:

(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

Barriers and gatekeepers are both functions of cell membranes. They're semi-permeable, which means some molecules can pass through but others can't. The concentration of particular chemicals inside the cell is controlled by specialised proteins in the cell membrane.

A cell's plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, offers protection. It also maintains a constant environment within the cell, and the membrane serves a variety of purposes. The first is to carry nutrients into the cell, and the second is to transport harmful chemicals out.
