A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.
This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.
B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).
This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.
C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).
This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.
D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.
One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.
E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.
This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.
Answer:
Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.
Explanation:
The structure found on the outside of the onion cell is the cell wall, which is specific to plants. The structure found on the outside of the skin cell is the cell membrane, which is found on all cells.
Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living. - this is false, both animal and plant cells are living.
Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells. - this is false, the opposite is true.
Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells. - this is true structure X is the plant cell wall, and structure Y is the cell membrane
Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable. Semi-permeable and selectively permeable are essentially the same thing - it means the barrier allows some substances to pass through but not others.
Should be prophase because chromatin coils up, becoming shorter and thicker, thick enough to become visible when stained.
