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).

Answer:

The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"

Explanation:

For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.

At what ph is enzyme A working at its maximum rate
crimeas [40]
Enzymes are also known as  Biological catalysts. An enzyme working at its maximum possible rate, where the substrate concentration is in excess is <span>V max.

</span><span>The reaction is slow because the molecules are moving slowly and they will not often collide with the active site of an enzyme, so the binding of an enzyme and substrate is rare.</span>

Explain what would happen if water did not expand when freezing. How would this impact aquatic life?
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

If water did not expand when freezing, then it would be denser than liquid water when it froze; therefore it would sink and fill lakes or the ocean from bottom to top. Once the oceans filled with ice, life there would not be possible.
