Bacterial Smears Are Fixed before Staining to? Answer It is important to heat fix the bacterial smear before staining so as to‚ kill the bacteria‚ firmly adhere the smear on to the microscopic slide to prevent washing off during staining‚ and to allow the sample to readily take up the stain. Reference: www2.hendrix.edu What is the purpose of heat- fixing the smear? It helps the cells adhere to the slide so that they can be stained. The purpose of heat fixing is to kill the organisms without

the electrons as a back donation to the pi orbital in DMSO. In the first experiment‚ I had to synthesized CuCl2~2DMSO to determine which DMSO atom; Sulfur or Oxygen‚ combined to Copper (II) Chloride. I was able to determine it base on finding the melting point and observing the Infrared Spectroscopy. Since copper is a hard metal‚ it will most likely bond to an oxygen atom because they are both hard. In the second experiment‚ I also synthesized RuCl2~4DMSO to determine which DMSO atom; Sulfur or Oxygen

“Fighting Invisible Killers” Scholastic Scope: The Language Arts Magazine January 2014 Edition‚ pages 5-9 Bacteria surround us every day. These little “bugs” are invisible to the eye and most do not harm us. Many are necessary for us to survive‚ like the bacteria in our stomachs and intestines that help us to digest food. But some bacteria are very dangerous to us. Addie Rereich became very sick in May 2011‚ when she was 11 years old. What started as something that her doctors and mother

Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the

Methodology By using aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set

Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment Between the years of 1932 and 1972‚ the United States Public Health Service conducted a study of untreated syphilis on black men in Macon County‚ Alabama. Although these men were not purposely infected with the disease‚ the USPH service did recruit physicians‚ white and black‚ to NOT treat those men already diagnosed. It was felt that syphilis in a white male created more neurological deficits whereas in a black male‚ more cardiovascular‚ these of course

Experiment 1 Calorimetry Chem 17 Univerity of the Philippines Diliman Discussion All chemical reactions involve energy. By understanding the behavior and connection of energy flow within a chemical reaction‚ we can understand and manipulate them to our advantage. The most common form of energy observed during chemical reactions is heat. The reaction may absorb (endothermic) or release (exothermic) heat‚ depending on the reacting substances. Calorimetry is the process of measuring the heat flow
