Methanol breaks down the structure of the beet membrane which in turn release the pigment, betcyanin, the pigment found in beet cell vacuoles that give beets their characteristic colour, and releases it. The more intense the colour you see, the greater damage that had been done on the membrane

Why does the crystal violent stain wash out of gram bacteria when they are decolorized in ethanol?

The crystal violet stain in Gram-positive bacteria forms a complex with the peptidoglycan layer in the cell wall, making it less permeable to decolorizer like ethanol. In Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane is disrupted by ethanol, allowing the crystal violet to be washed out during the decolorization step.
