How can granulocytes be identified from agranulocytes?
Granulocytes can be identified when their cytoplasmic granules are stained with Wright's stain. Agranulocytes do not have cytoplasmic granules so they will not have stained granules.
What is a basophil?
A basophil is a cell which has granules stained by basic stains, especially granular leukocytes.
Example of bacteria for metachromatic granules?
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is an example of a bacterium that contains metachromatic granules. These granules are composed of polyphosphate polymers and are typically observed in the metachromatic staining method where the granules appear blue or purple when stained with methylene blue.
What nucleus has 2 lobes and red-orange granules?
The nucleus with two lobes and red-orange granules is known as an eosinophil. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response and are characterized by their bright red granules when stained with eosin dye.
Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensively by iodine?
Yes, other cellular structures such as human epithelial cells can be stained intensely by iodine. However, when examining amyloplasts, you must come to that conclusion yourself. Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine? What can you conclude about the location of starch in storage cells of potato? Good luck and ChaCha on!
What three noteworthy physical characteristics of Corynebacterium diphtheriae are visible after performing a simple stain?
Pleomorphism, metachromatic granules, and palisade arrangement. Pleomorphism refers to the fact that C. diptheriae is rod-shaped but can appear club-shaped, needle-shaped, or spermlike. Metachromatic granules are reddish-purple granules that are visible when stained with metylene blue. Palisade arrangement refers to the presentation of rods in a parallel fashion that looks like a picket fence.
What organelles become more visible after being stained with iodine?
Iodine stains starch blue. You will be able to see the plastids where the starch is stored in the cytoplasm.
If you stain a wet mount of living cells with iodine what are you most likely to see under a microscope?
Iodine is commonly used to stain starch granules within cells. Therefore, if you stain a wet mount of living cells with iodine, you are most likely to see starch granules within the cells stained with a dark color under the microscope.
What are the comparison between cheek cell stained with iodine and cheek cell stained with methylene blue?
Cheek cells stained with iodine typically appear yellow-brown, highlighting the presence of starch granules if any are present, but they may not show much cellular detail. In contrast, cheek cells stained with methylene blue exhibit a more vibrant blue color, allowing for clearer visualization of cellular structures such as the nucleus and cytoplasm. Methylene blue is better for highlighting cellular morphology, while iodine is primarily used for specific staining of certain components. Overall, methylene blue provides more detail for observing cell structure compared to iodine.
What is the streak of bauxite?
normally white but may streak other colors if the specimen is stained i dont give a duck
What are some creative stained glass art projects that I can try out?
Some creative stained glass art projects you can try out include making a stained glass sun catcher, creating a stained glass mosaic, designing a stained glass lampshade, or crafting a stained glass panel for a window.
Why are specimens sometimes stained with dyes?
Specimens are stained with dyes to enhance contrast and visibility under a microscope, allowing specific structures or components to be more easily distinguished. Staining can highlight particular cell types, organelles, or tissues, making it easier to identify and study their morphology and function. Additionally, different dyes can bind to specific cellular components, providing valuable information about the biochemical properties of the specimen.
