Just by the sheer fact that any vibration of any kind can be considered Brownian motion for a hanging drop test. the longer you observe your bacteria, the more chance there are of Brownian motion interfering with your motility test ( I assume you're talking about the motility hanging drop, right?). It is because of this fact that the hanging drop test is quickly falling out of favor for more secure tests for motility, the semi-solid media being one of them.

The first scientist to observe evidence of the random motion of molecules was?

It was Brown. They named it Brownian motion after her.


How did observing brownian motion develop a theory about heat and temperature?

Well when you observe brownian motion you can feel the heat and so the theory was developed from the temperature of the heat :) hope I helped

Why a microscope is necessary in order to observe brownian motion?

Because the Particles (Molecules) are too small to see with the naked eye, a microscope is required.


How do you perform and observe brownian motion in the lab?

By combining any two visually distinct liquids, such as water and a drop of food coloring. Brownian motion is the constant motion of molecules, so if you fill a clear glass with water and then place one drop of food coloring into the water, you can watch as the food coloring diffuses throughout the water by Brownian motion.


Can the hanging drop method be used to examine other organisms?

Hangng drop method is used for bacterial examination of fresh preparations-- meaning those which are alive so you can observe their motility, its usually true motility or the brownian movement. This is accomplished by having a drop of liquid preparation into a concave slide with its circular sides filled with vaseline to prevent evaporation. then a cover slip is applied. I dunno what you mean by your question by " other organisms" obviously you can only apply it to bacteria. examples like Staphylococcus aureus, G. tetragena or P. vulgaris.


What info can you observe on a wet mount that cannot be seen on a stained preparation?

The movement of a bacteria can be seen on a wet mount. This movement can not be seen in a stained preparation.


Why are you not able to observe Brownina motion for a ping-pong ball suspended with a string?

An entire ping-pong ball does not experience Brownian motion. Its molecules do, but you cannot see them with the unaided eye.


What advantages does hanging drop preparation have over a wet mount preparation?

Hanging drop slide is more resistant to evaporation because of the concave depression of the slide placed over the cells along with the petroleum jelly prevents drying. Wet mounts can dry out fairly quickly.


Rapid increase of organic acid in the body?

Rapid increase of organic acids in the body you would expect to observe the increase in your heart rate. You would also observe increased alveolar ventilation, decreased blood pH and increased in blood pressure.


When the temperature of a gas stays constant and you decrease the volume what do you observe?

Due to Charles's law, the pressure would increase.
