The stomata of many cacti lie deep in the plants' tissues. This adaptation helps cacti reduce water loss by keeping the hot, dry wind from blowing directly across the stomata. The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering.

C) thick waxy cuticle.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The explanation is given in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Osteochondroma is a condition where the cartilage and the bone faces excess growth at the end of the bone near the growth plate. Most often, it strikes the large bones in the leg, the shoulder blade, or in the pelvis. It usually happens between the ages of 10 and 30. It affects males and females equally. The actual cause of Osteochondroma is still not known. There are two types of Osteochondroma. One type that is inherited and one type that is not inherited.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Reduced in holding time of decolrization step and also used less Alcohol because decolrization step is important in Gram's staining.The decolorization step must be performed carefully. Otherwise over-decolorization may occur. This step is critical and must be timed correctly otherwise the CV stain will be removed from the Gram-positive cells. If the decolorizing agent is applied on the cell for too long time, the Gram-positive organisms to appear Gram-negative..

Explanation:

Gram' staining is a technique used in microbiology labs to differentiate between Gram's positive and negative

<u>Gram-positive bacteria :</u>Stain dark purple due to retaining the primary dye called CV in the cell wall.

<u>:Gram-negative bacteria </u>Stain red or pink due to retaining the counter staining dye called Safranin or neutral red.

There are four basic step in Gram" staining

1) Application of the Primary Stain to a Heat-Fixed Smear of Bacterial Culture

2)Addition of Gram's Iodine

3)<u>Decolorization with 95% Ethyl Alcohol:</u>Alcohol or acetone dissolves the lipid outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, thus leaving the peptidoglycan layer exposed and increases the porosity of the cell wall. The CV-I complex is then washed away from the thin peptidoglycan layer, leaving Gram-negative bacteria colorless.

On the other hand, alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria that causes the pores of the cell wall to shrink. The CV-I complex gets tightly bound into the multi-layered, highly cross-linked Gram-positive cell wall thus staining the cells purple.

The decolorization step must be performed carefully. Otherwise over-decolorization may occur. This step is critical and must be timed correctly otherwise the CV stain will be removed from the Gram-positive cells. If the decolorizing agent is applied on the cell for too long time, the Gram-positive organisms to appear Gram-negative. Under-decolorization occurs when the alcohol is not left on long enough to wash out the CV-I complex from the Gram-negative cells, resulting in Gram-negative bacteria to appear Gram-positive.

In a species of Drosophila, developing larva have special proteins in their epithelial cells. These proteins bind to a certain r
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The larva gets dark pigment.

Explanation:

If scientists purposely injected an excess concentration of these proteins in the larva, the larva gets deep dark colour because this protein is responsible for the pigment colour in the larva of Drosophila. By increasing the protein concentration the pigment will also have a very dark colour. So we can conclude from this that increasing the amount of protein causes increase in the pigment colour.
