A common first step in staining procedures such as the Gram stain is to prepare a heat-fixed bacterial smear. Why is this technique NOT the best for accurately detemining the size of the bacterial cell?
a. the heat will prevent ethanol from dissolving the inner membrane and makes it hard to decipher cell size
b. the heat will enhance the formation of crystal violet-iodine complexes, which will make the bacteria appear larger than they actually are
c. the heat fixes bacteria to the glass slide, but also causes the cells to shrink
d. Both A and C
e. All of the above
Homework Answers
Option c is correct. the heat fixes bacteria to the glass slide, but also causes the cells to shrink.

Background: “Belinda!” called Kyle, running to catch up to her. Belinda turned around and waited for him. “Are you heading to the lab right now?” asked Kyle. “Yes.” she said. “I want to look over the Gram stain protocol one more time before we go in.” “Yeah, good idea. I’ve been trying to memorize the steps. But it’s hard.” Belinda and Kyle spent the twenty minutes remaining before the start of lab going over Chapters 3 and 4 of their...
