What is the function of a stain in microscope work?
As the cells are transparent, the components cannot be seen clearly through a microscope. We stain the cell so that we can see the components of the cell clearly through a microscope.
Why do you need to stain the elodea cell?
to see the nucleus and watch the chloroplasts move to the center
The name given to a liquid used to make cells structures easier to see?
A stain is a liquid used to make cell structures easier to see by adding color contrast. Stains can highlight specific parts of cells, making them more visible under a microscope. Different stains target different cell components or characteristics.
Why was it necessary to stain the onion and the cheek cells?
So you can see different components of the cell. Like the nucleus.
What does effect iodine have on the onion cells?
Iodine is often used to stain onion cells to make the cell structures more visible under a microscope. The iodine solution will stain specific cell components such as the cell walls and starch grains, allowing for easier observation and analysis of the cells.
Why do you need to stain some of the cells with a dye like iodine?
without staining the cell you would not be able to see it clearly. the cell would be transparent. methylene blue stains the whole cell properly so that you can see each cell organelle clearly.

Of what use is the endospore stain?
The use of endospore stain is to see specialized cell structures. It can tell if some bacterium cells contain higher resistant spores within vegetative cells.
Why is it important to stain cells?
Because most microbial cytoplasm as well as cellular cytoplasm, studying microorganisms under a light microscope is like trying to look at something white on a white piece of paper. So, scientists have to stain a cell before they can observe it. One of the most common stains is the Gram Stain.
What happens when you leave a stain on the bacterial smear for too long?
If the bacterial cell are under stained then they will loose the stain of dye when wash with alocohol or may be simply by water which then cause a problem in identifying the cell type as e.g. in case of gram staining if the cell do not stain properly with methylene blue then they will loose the stain when washed and will counter stain with saffranin so the gram +ve will show the gram -ve colour.
Stain name used for onion cells?
safranine stain is used to stain onion cells
What cell structures can be seen in a stain onion cell?
The structure that is seen is the cell wall. This keeps the shape of the cell and is only found in plant cells. The organelles that can be see in a stained onion cells all depends on your microscope. Under a x400 light microscope we could see the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm,
