What common houshold objects Hey there.
I need to be able to measure
grams very precisely for some
science experiments I am
doing. I don't have an
accurate scale, so I am going
to make a balancing scale out
of knex (not a problem). I
just need a object that's very
common that weighs a gram. Say
a bottle cap weighed a gram,
that would be perfect. I just
need a item like that, that is
very, very close the being a
gram. Thanks very much!

A business card weighs exactly 1 gram.(non-glossy) Any paper currency note ( $1, $5, $10, $20) weighs a gram.(fold it up nice and tight) A nickel weighs exactly 5 grams. |

How do gram stains work and This is for biology, and the
whole question read: "Crystal
violet and saffranin are
stains that bind to the
peptidoglycan layer of a cell
wall. Gram's iodine fixes
(sticks) the stain to the
peptidoglycan. With this
information, explain how
Gram's stain works."
HELP! Thanks in advance.

Gram's Stain determines whether bacteria is gram-positive or gram-negative based on both chemical and physical properties of the cell wall. Crystal violet dissociates in aqueous solutions into (CV+) crystal violet and chloride (Cl – ) ions. These ions penetrate through the cell wall/membrane. The CV+ ion interacts with negatively charged components of bacterial cells and stains the cells purple. Iodine (I – or I3 – ) interacts with CV+ and forms large complexes of crystal violet and iodine (CV – I) within the inner and outer layers of the cell. When a decolorizer is added, it interacts with the lipids of the cell membrane. A Gram-negative cell will lose its outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer is left exposed. The CV – I complexes are washed from the Gram-negative cell along with the outer membrane. A Gram-positive cell becomes dehydrated and the large CV – I complexes become trapped within the Gram-positive cell due to the multilayered nature of its peptidoglycan. After decolorization, the Gram-positive cell remains purple and the Gram-negative cell loses its purple color. Counterstain, positively-charged safranin is applied last to give decolorized Gram-negative bacteria a pink color. |

What are the detailed 2)All bacteria, with the
exception of a few obligate
parasites known as
mycoplasmas, have cell walls
made of peptidoglycan.
However, the cell envelopes of
gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria are
very different. Describe the
differences in cell wall
organization and the
differences in the
organization of the membranes
that compose part of the cell
envelope in these two
different groups of bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Gram positive) Jump to: navigation, search Gram-positive Bacillus anthracis bacteria (purple rods) in cerebrospinal fluid sample. The other cells are white blood cellsGram-positive bacteria are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram staining. This is in contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, which cannot retain the crystal violet stain, instead taking up the counterstain (safranin or fuchsin) and appearing red or pink. Gram-positive organisms are able to retain the crystal violet stain because of the high amount of peptidoglycan in the cell wall. Gram-positive cell walls typically lack the outer membrane found in Gram-negative bacteria. When treated as a clade, the term "Posibacteria" is sometimes used.[1] Gram-negative bacteria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Gram-negative) Jump to: navigation, search Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria (pink-red rods).Gram-negative bacteria are those bacteria that do not retain crystal violet dye in the Gram staining protocol.[1] In a Gram stain test, a counterstain (commonly safranin) is added after the crystal violet, coloring all Gram-negative bacteria with a red or pink color. The test itself is useful in classifying two distinct types of bacteria based on the structural differences of their cell walls. On the other hand, Gram-positive bacteria will retain the crystal violet dye when washed in a decolorizing solution. Many species of Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic, meaning that they can cause disease in a host organism. This pathogenic capability is usually associated with certain components of Gram-negative cell walls, in particular the lipopolysaccharide (also known as LPS or endotoxin) layer.[1] In humans, LPS triggers an innate immune response characterized by cytokine production and immune system activation. Inflammation is a common result of cytokine (from the Greek cyto=cell, kinesis=movement) production, which can also produce host toxicity. When treated as a clade, the term "negibacteria" is sometimes used.[2] |
