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.

The endosymbiotic theory states that chloroplasts and mitochondria evolved as a result of
Yuri [45]
...As a result of a symbiosis between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The theory is that the mitochondria and the chloroplasts were prokaryotic cells inside the eukaryotic cells which is called endosymbiosis. There is evidence for this because plastids and mitochondria have double membranes like prokaryotic cells and they also have their own genetic material.

Hope that helps and is in decent english as I studied it in spanish

leonid [27]
The answer is A. photoperiodism.

Photoperiodism is an organism reaction to the lengths of days and nights. Some plants require longer days, and some require shorter days. By changing the lengths of days and nights, commercial plant growers are able to increase plants productivity.

Tropism is plant growth in a response to a stimulus.
As it name suggests, <em>photo</em>tropism is plant growth in a response to light.

What is the molar mass of Fe(CH2O2)3?
bija089 [108]

The Molar mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3 is 194g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molecular mass of Fe = 56g

Molecular mass of C = 12g

Molecular mass of H = 1g

Molecular mass of O = 16g

Therefore, Molecular mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3

= 56+12\times3+6\times1+16\times6

= 56 + 36 + 6 + 96g

= 194g

So the Molar mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3 is 194g.

A negative feedback mechanism  tries to negate changes so as to restore the variations that occurs in the value of a parameter or system.

<h3>What is  Negative feedback?</h3>

This is known to be a method that tend to reverses any kind of movement or deviation from the set point and it then keeps the body parameters to its normal range.

Note that A negative feedback mechanism  tries to negate changes so as to restore the variations that occurs in the value of a parameter or system.
