You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap

hylococcus aureus (non-acid-fast) cells. Your mistake is that you forget to use methylene blue during the procedure. If you viewed this slide with a microscope, what would each cell type look like?

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.

Like all cells, the neurons' internal organization dictates its function. Neurons have relatively many mitochondria, an extensiv
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The endosymbiotic theory provides an explanation for the origin of chloroplasts. Which trait of chloroplasts supports this expla
kondor19780726 [428]
The double membrane. It's theorized that chloroplasts used to be their own single-celled organism in the environment (and therefore with its own membrane). Then, the theory states, a larger cell took in the chloroplast by endocytosis, which involves surrounding the chloroplast in the large cell's own membrane. The chloroplast would then have two membranes surrounding it. This is similar to the thinking for mitochondria becoming an organelle as well. Hope this helps! :)
