Methylene blue is used to stain animal cells, such as human cheek cells, to make their nuclei more observable. Also used to staining the blood film and used in cytology. It gives a blue coloration to the human cheek cell.

∙ 14y agoWell, the cell surface membrane is actually semipermeable, then yes, we can say that it is permeable to methylene blue, because after an experiment I did at school, I noticed that the cells turned into such colour.
It lets some materials enter, or some not; in this case it does let the methylene blue goes through, and the cell it self, in fact turns of that colour.

Why is methylene blue used as an indicator of cell respiration?
because methylene blue turns colourless when it is reduced by hydrogen. during respiration hydrogen is produced and instead of reducing NAD, it reduces methylene blue and turns methylene blue colourless. if methylene blue goes from blue to colourless then this shows that the cell is respiring as it is producing a suffiecient amount of hydrogen to decolourise methylene blue
Why is methylene blue necessary to view your check cells?
This is because the cheek cell is transparent. Since the membrane of the cheek cell is selectively permeable, it allows the methylene blue to enter the cell , therefore makes it blue in color from the inside. Then we are able to see the cheek cell properly under a microscope... please note. : we are supposed to add a bit of water and gliserene too . WATER : to transfer the cheek cells on to the slide AND GLISERENE: to prevent the cheek cells from drying up.
What is the function on bile in Eosin Methylene Blue agar?
To make the Eosin Methylene BLue Agar look cool and hip.
Chemical sometimes used to make the specimen visible on a microscope?
Methylene blue is an example.
Why is methylene blue necessary?
Methylene blue is helpful to observe cells through a violet-blue color, making organelles, as well as the cell, easier to identify.
How can methylene blue change the solute potential of the cell?
Methylene blue is a membrane-permeable dye that can enter the cell and bind to cellular components, such as proteins and nucleic acids. This binding can alter the osmotic properties of the cell and affect its solute potential. Methylene blue can also disrupt the electron transport chain in mitochondria, leading to changes in cellular metabolism and solute potential.
What is the behavior of methylene blue towards the animal charcoal?
i think the methylene blue will be make aqua blue because the charcoal will penerate the color of methylene blue,,,there are absorption process,,,in the charoal between the methylene blue.... (kharlz)

What color is simple staining on a bacillus and coccus using methylene blue stain?
Methylene blue stains everything blue.
How does methylene blue affect the paramecium?
The methylene blue will make the paramecium very horny and secrete sperm.
Which substance has a higher molecular weight a methylene blue or potassium permanganate?
METHYLENE BLUE has high molecular weight.
What is the function on bile in Eosin Methylene Blue agar?

Chemical sometimes used to make the specimen visible on a microscope?
Methylene blue is an example.
What color is methylene blue?
It is blue, like its name.
Is methylene blue a chromophore?
Nope - methylene blue is a stain. You need liquid indicator like phenolphthalein that responds to pH changes.
