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,

Which of the following describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15? ( point)
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Nitrogen-14 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, 7 neutrons nitrogen-15 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 8 neutrons

Explanation:

In an atom, number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.  And the number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom and the atomic number. For Nitrogen 14, electron is 7, proton is also 7 as number  of electrons and number of protons are equal. So, the neutron will be 14-7= 7. For Nitrogen 15, electron number is 7 so proton number will be also 7. Neutron number for nitrogen 15 will be 15-7= 8. That's why the answer is option number 4.

HELP I NEED A SCIENTIFIC MODEL AND PARAGHRAPH ABOUT ATOMIC THEROY WILL GIVE BRANLIEST AND POINTS
saveliy_v [14]

<h2>Atomic Theory:</h2><h2>Introduction</h2>

The atomic theory of Atoms Summed up is the idea that all matter is made of tiny particles that are imperceptible to the mortal eye; these particles are named Atoms

<h2>Paragraph 1:</h2>

John Dalton was the first to consider that all matter was made of tiny particles known as atoms. He invented the idea that matter is formed of atoms varying in weight.

<h2>Paragraph 2:</h2>

I created this model of the dissimilarities between three kinds of matter-- solids, liquids, and gases. The distance between atoms in each state tells us what type of matter we observe.

The Drawing is on the file

The End.
