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.

Would you expect Brownian motion to increase the longer you observe a hanging drop preparation?

What is the value of a hanging-drop preparation?

A hanging-drop preparation is used in microbiology to observe the motility of microorganisms. By placing a drop of liquid culture on a coverslip inverted over a concave slide, the microorganisms are suspended in a hanging drop of liquid, allowing for easy observation under a microscope.


Purpose of the hanging drop.?

The hanging drop method is used in microbiology to grow and observe bacterial or yeast cultures. It involves suspending a drop of liquid culture from a coverslip over a depression slide. This setup allows for the observation of microbial growth in a controlled environment.


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

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


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.


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


What is browniamotion and where you can find examples of brownianmotion?

Brownian motion is the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid as they collide with other particles. A common example is the movement of pollen grains in water. You can observe Brownian motion in action by observing the random movement of tiny particles under a microscope.


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

Brownian motion is the random movement of particles in a fluid due to collisions with molecules of the surrounding medium, such as air or water. A ping-pong ball suspended with a string is too large in comparison to the particles in the surrounding medium. The motion of such a macroscopic object is dominated by its interaction with the string and the macroscopic forces acting on it, making Brownian motion at that scale negligible and difficult to observe.


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.


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

A microscope is necessary to observe Brownian motion because the movement of particles is very small and needs to be magnified in order to be visible to the human eye. The microscope allows us to see the random motion of the particles as they collide with each other and move in a liquid or gas. Without a microscope, the individual particle movements would be too small to detect.


What would you expect to see if the smoke particles in the brownian motion are much larger?

If smoke particles in Brownian motion are much larger, you would expect to observe slower and more visible movements as they collide with air molecules, due to their increased mass and inertia. This might cause them to exhibit less chaotic and more predictable paths compared to smaller particles.
