Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To provide: The reason for which bacteria can
Introduction: All life forms are classified into three main domains, namely, archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. These three domains are classified based on the type of cells of the organisms. The prokaryotes are unicellular microorganisms that lack membrane-bounded organelles and nucleus.

Describe why Gram negative bacteria stain pink.
When doing a gram stain in microbiology, one step can be eliminated and still allow distinction between gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. What is the step and why would eliminating it still result in the ability to distinguish gram-positive from gram-negative?
Explain Why do acidic dyes not stain bacterial cells?

- In lab, we used the Gram stain to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

What is likely to be observed when she views the slide under the microscope? All cells will appear purple, regardless of whether they are actually Gram negative or Gram positive. All cells will appear pink, regardless of whether they are actually Gram negative or Gram positive. Gram negative cells will be clear, Gram positive cells will be purple.
