What was the purpose of placing the drop of distilled water onto the slide before smearing the bacterial colony onto the slide?

Answer:

1. In order to fix the bacterial to the slide;

<u>so that it will not be lost during the staining procedure.</u>

<u>so that false impression  or result will not be given by the bacteria in water,</u>

<u>Distilled water is used to prevent contamination with impurities  e,g metals ions and crystals</u>.

Explanation.

In smear preparation; the bacterial cells should also be well dispersed,so that they do not clumped together to form' big glob'.(large round masses) The later affect clear field view of the bacterial mophology, affected staining,  and therefore  gives inaccurate results,

Fixing to the slide also affects the morphology of bacterial cells, through shrinking in size, which can lead to loss of structural characteristics and extra-cellular matrixes,

State which enzyme probably camr from the stomach of the mondoni
svetlana [45]

Hi,

I browsed through internet about the enzymes and found that there is an exercise with a list of three enzymes and probably you want to know, which are the enzymes that came from the stomach of Mondoni-a little mammal organism.

Please see the graphs i found, they contain the pH and temperature of the enzymes. So, we need to find the enzymes of Mondoni on the basis of these pH and temperature values.

The enzymes that came from Mondoni's stomach are A and B. These enzymes performed well at low pH and this indicates that they are probably digestive enzymes and have acidic nature.

Moreover, enzyme A and B perform better in low temperature and performed worst in extreme temperature like 80 degree Celsius. Their temperature range also matches with the temperature of mammals, therefore enzyme A and B came from Mandoni.

Hope it helps! :)
