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.

When the football is snapped, which player will have the smallest change in kinetic energy?
DanielleElmas [232]
When you are finding the kinetic energy, it is best to keep this formula in mind.

Ek = 1/2mv²

Where m is mass and v is velocity. Basically sub the numbers in to find the kinetic energy for each. In this case, subbing all the numbers, the smallest change in kinetic energy is the Lineman with a kinetic energy of just 540N.

If these organisms were arraigned in a food pyramid, which organism would have the least amount of total energy available?
Afina-wow [57]

The complete question is:

If these organisms were arraigned in a food pyramid, which organism would have the least amount of total energy available?

  • Producers
  • Carnivore
  • Herbivores
  • Top predators

Answer: Top predators

Explanation:

The top predators get the least energy because according to the 10 per cent law the energy transfer only 10 energy is transferred to the next successive level.

The next level of the organism receives only 10 of the total energy that the previous level has.

Hence, the top predators have the least amount of energy in it as the energy is transferred through various levels before reaching top predators.
