Adding methylene blue to a slide will stain animal cells and make the nuclei more visible.
It is a colouring reagent. Methylene blue is useful for the staining of bacterial cells. it is one of the staining reagent of Gram staining technique.
what is the purpose
Adding methylene blue to sugar water solution.
The methylene blue will make the paramecium very horny and secrete sperm.
Nope - methylene blue is a stain. You need liquid indicator like phenolphthalein that responds to pH changes.
Methylene blue is necessary for one thing. It is what helps transports cells.
you can get methylene blue powder from a scientific store, it comes in powdered form. its pretty soluble in water and alcohol etc. the stain is made by dissolving an appropriate amount on methylene blue in a solvent, e.g for 0.1 dissolve 0.1% gram of methylene blue in 100 gram water, for 9% dissolve 9 grams
Methylene blue is an example.
An example is methylene blue.

Because some things that you might look at under a microscope are transparent and hard to see. Adding Methylene Blue to the slide would dye the stuff blue.....i think.
A general term for a chemical that makes a specimen visible is a stain. There are many types of stains available, depending upon the structure you want to visualize and the type of microscope you want to use, e.g. fluorescent stains like DAPI for fluorescence microscopy, or hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining for brightfield microscopy.Immersion oil
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)
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
Methylene Blue
Methylene blue stains everything blue.
The methylene blue will make the paramecium very horny and secrete sperm.
METHYLENE BLUE has high molecular weight.
Methylene blue can be used to prepare slide for animal cells. For example, if you want to examine a piece of your cheek cell, you would take a piece of cotton wool and rub it on the inside of your cheek and the rub it on a microscope slide, the you add a little distilled water and then a drop of methylene blue. The final step you would take, is to cover the slide with a cover slip, then place it under the microscope.
