Question

Once bacteria staining is completed, what cant be solved by seeing them with a light microscope?

A) Colony morphology

B) Cellular morphology

C) Cellular arrangements

D) Cellular internal complexity

E) Cellular size

Answer 1

Solution:-

Cell staining is important so that one can see better visualization of cells and their components under a light microscope. It helps in studying the features of cells like morphology that include size, shape and arrangement of cells and structural details like internal components nucleus or cell walls. Cellular morphology should not be confused with colonial morphology as it is an appearance of the bacteria on the agar plate. It can be seen by naked eye and does not require a microscope but to study the colony of bacteria in detail, one should take a patch on slide and go with the procedure of staining and see it under light microscope.

So, the correct answer is (a) Colony morphology.
