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:

<em>C.) </em><em>Brachiation</em>

Explanation:

Brachiation or arm swinging is a form of arboreal locomotion in which the animal swings from one branch to the other, using only their arms, this form of locomotion in the long evolutionary term is related to shorter legs as they are less heavy, and allow better swinging, and stable lumbar spines that counteract with the movement, for it not to get deformed with the constant swinging.

What would happen if the moon was twice as fast as it it now
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Ans ; It would have to be closer for it to be in a circular orbit twice as fast. One moon cycle would be 2 weeks instead of 4 so our months would have been based on 2 week cycles making for 24 months. Tides would be less synchronous between days and much more intense because of how close it would be. This would have left a very different land map. Tidal forces would force the moon to rip apart sooner than with it's present orbit creating an important ring system around earth earlier.
