In a typical cell the cell wall gets stained most. But sometimes even the nucleus gets stained but more specifically the chromatin material in the nucleus.

Why is the nucleus in the cheek cell stained the darkest?
When stained with iodine and observed under a compound microscope the nucleus will stain the darkest. The cheek cell is frequently employed here as they are simple to collect and tend to take the stain easily.
Is every part of the cell equally stained?
The nucleolus stains darker. It is part of the nucleus.
What causes a stain to adhere to bacterial cells?
In a gram positive stain it is because the cell's cell wall is made up of peptioglycan
What blood cell granules stain bright orange red when you use Wright's stain?
Eosinophils
What can you observe when you stain a cheek cell with methylene blue stain?
You can observe cheek cells
Which parts of the cell stain darker than others?
The nucleus
What is the value of simple stain?
A simple stain like iodine can make cell parts show up that would otherwise be nearly invisible since they are colorless.A simple stain like iodine will reveal a cell's morphology.
What is the purpose of using a biological stain when microscopically examining cellular components?
the purpose of using stain is to highlight specific areas or parts of the cell. different cell structures become visible under different stain colors.
Why doesn't the whole cell stain with the cell-wall stain?
The whole cell doesn't stain during a cell wall stain because the dyes that are used are only attracted to the negative cell wall and only sticks it. The inside of the cell shows clear.
What happens if you use gram stain on a virus?
Most likely nothing. The gram stain will only stain the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. Most viruses have a protein coat called a capsid. The capsid will not take up either the crystal violet or the safranin of a Gram stain.
What does lugol's iodine stain do to the activity of the cell?
I just did a lab in biology called "How Plant and Animal Cells Differ" and in the packet it had that question. The answer is: Lugol's iodine stain stops the activity of the cell. It kills whatever specimen it is staining.
What structure of a bacterial cell determines which kind of biological stain it will take up?
The cell wall of gram-negative bacteria is a thin layer sandwiched between an outer cell envelope and an inner cell membrane. The gram-positive cell wall is much thicker, has no cell envelope, and contains additional substances that retain the blue stain.
Why is the nucleus in the cheek cell stained the darkest?
When stained with iodine and observed under a compound microscope the nucleus will stain the darkest. The cheek cell is frequently employed here as they are simple to collect and tend to take the stain easily.
Why is it not necessary for bleach to actually remove the substance that causes a stain?
Bleach removes the dye from what it comes into contact with. This means that when it comes into contact with a stain, it can take the pigments out of the stain. There may be other parts of the stain still there, but they are the same color as the rest of the article of clothing.
What two parts of the cell the cell respiration take place?
Cytoplasm and Mitocondria
Explain why it is not necessary for bleach to actually remove the substance that causes a stain?
