Which step in the Gram stain is the critical step in differentiating Gram negative cells from Gram positive cells?

Biology
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0

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

Convection cells occur because of the movement of heat. On which physical property of matter is this based? volume mass specific
klio [65]

Answer: density

Convection is the circular cycle of rising and falling of a liquid or gas as it becomes hotter or cooler. When a liquid or gas becomes hotter, its density decreases, which causes the substance to rise. After rising, the substance loses heat and becomes cooler, which increases its density. This causes the substance to fall or sink to the bottom.
