A faulty conus arteriosus would compromise on an effective gaseous exchange that keeps the blood of the
fish oxygenated for respiration of
tissues. The conus arteriosus is one of two accessory chambers found in most
fish with two-chambered hearts. The primary function of the conus arteriosus is
to prevent the backflow of blood and keep a steady flow of blood into the
ventral aorta and the gills.
The thalamus is a bundle of about twelve nuclei in which every sense except smell has a synapse; it is the "gateway" to the cerebral cortex. The correct answer to blank above is "is a bundle of about twelve nuclei in which every sense except smell has a synapse; it is the "gateway" to the cerebral cortex".
Answer:
The rapid decolorization with ethanol or acetone
and counterstaining with safranin
When a decolorizer such as alcohol or acetone is added, it interacts with the lipids of the cell membrane. A gram-negative cell loses its outer lipopolysaccharide membrane, and the inner peptidoglycan layer is left exposed: when safranin is added they will turn red. Conversely, gram-positives retain the Cristal violet and will color in purple
