Why cant methylene blue be used in place of nigrosin in negative staining?
Because negative staining requires the use of an acidic stain, which will not penetrate the cells because of the negative charge on the surface of the bacteria. As a result, the unstained cells can be easily identified against the colored background.

Why is iodine used when observing onion cells?
AnswerIodine was used to stain onion epidermal cells so you could see the cells more clearly and examine them.

Why is decolorization necessary when performing a gram stain?
During the procedures of a gram stain, decolorization is necessary to remove any stain or color from the gram negative cells. When a dye is used to stain gram positive cells, both gram positive and gram negative cells retain color. Mordant is used to bind the original stain to gram positive cells so when decolorizer is used they retain color. After the mordant has been used a decolorizer is used to wash away colo in gram negative cells. Counterstains are used to stain gram negative cells to better visualize contrasting cells. An example of a decolorizer that works well is ethanol.
