Why is precipitation on Earth’s surface less common on land than it is over the oceans (hint: water cycle)?

7 0

There are many reasons for this. First of all, any water from Earth's surface can flow into the ocean due to gravity. There are also glaciers in the ocean that can melt. In the water cycle, the ocean, the atmosphere, and the land continuously exchange moisture among each other. Because weather patterns form and dissipate slower over the water than over the land, there is more circulation occurring in the atmosphere above the land. Therefore, there's more cloud formation.

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

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of Mycobacterium smegmatis and penetrates through it which results in staining Mycobacterium 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 Mycobacterium smegmatis will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and Staphylococcus aureus will appear colorless because it is destained.

Greenstick fractures are the type of fractures where one side of the cortex is intact and flexed while the other side is fractured. This type of fracture known as the incomplete fracture,

If any fracture have two or more lines of fracture it is called as Comminuted fractures. Impacted fractures have one segment on other. Due to the performing same activity again and again stress fracture occures that is characterized by failure of one cortical bone.
