The mordant increases the affinity of cellular components for a dye. Therefore, the mordant allows the silver nitrate to attach strongly to the flagella, so that we can see them under a light microscope.

∙ 11y agoSome bacteria have flagella for motility. Their width is below the resolving power of the microscope so they cannot be seen in a light microscope. Flagella can be visualized if they are dyed with a special stain that precipitates on them, making them appear much thicker.

What cells contain flagella?
They are found in cilia. Cilias are found in eukaryotic cells.
Bacteria might need to move around in their environment, so they have structures called ______ which resemble tails?
flagella
The structure that allows locomotion in some cells is the?
Flagella is a tail like appendage used for locomotion of certain cells and or unicircular organism. Lysosomes cell organelle filled with enzymes need to break down certain materials in the cells.
Why slide need to soak in alcohol before staining?
To remove unwanted microorganisms, dust particles and grease etc.....
Why would cells that have flagellum need to have many mitochondria?
To give power, ATP energy, to the whip like motion of the flagella. An energy intensive action to say the least.
what kind of Doctor can do a thoracentesis procedure?
Any trained Doctor (Physician or Surgeon) can carry out this procedure. It needs to be carried out in a Hospital environment as you need special equipment.
What are the different type of flagella?
if you go to this web page you can read what you need to know! http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Flagella Hope this helps!!!
What cells contain flagella?

How do plant cells use flagella?
Well the flagella works as a propeller to help the cells move. However plant cells dont actually have flagella or cilia because they dont need to move. Some plants (bryophytes?) have motile sperm that have flagella. Also, only prokaryotic flagella work like propellers. Eukaryotic flagella whip back and forth rather than rotating.
How do humans use flagella?
The flagella are on bacteria but are also on a man's sperm. Not only does it help the bacteria move but it also helps the sperm move. Inorder to have a baby you first need to have a egg fertilized in a woman. The sperm from a man cannot get to fertilize the egg without the flagella helping them to move. Without the flagella we will not be able to repopulate.
Why do you need to stain specimens?
Staining allows you to better visualize the parts of the tissues.
Concrete Staining?

Why do you need lithium carbonate in H and E staining?
changes the stain from pink to blue
Are flagella found in plant cells?
Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.
Bacteria might need to move around in their environment, so they have structures called ______ which resemble tails?
flagella
Why do you need pads or tampons for periods?
To prevent blood from leaking out and staining clothes, chairs, etc....
Why do animal and plant cells lack cilia flagella or other means of locomotion?
Cillia and flagella are used for motility. Most cells of animals and plants do not need to be mobile, but small uni-cellular or organisms of few cells do. But it is not true that animal cells do not have cillia and flagella. Sperm need to be motile so they have flagella. Your lungs need to clear dust and small particles from them so they have cillia.
