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

Describe how the lac operon functions and explain how it permits E. coli to produce the enzymes needed to break down lactose whe
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

An operon consists of a group of genes which are controlled by a single promoter.

The lac operon present in the E.coli comprises of genes for making proteins which  breakdown lactose into glucose.

Normally, the lac operon will be turned of by a repressor when there is not enough lactose present.

When lactose is present in the cell, the operon is activated when lacl forms a bond with the promoter region due to its changes in the structure. This causes the process of transcription to occur.
