28
Q

What color does gram positive bacteria stain?

A

purple, because they have a thicker cell membrane and will absorb and retain more of the blue dye

29
Q

What color does gram negative bacteria stain?

A

pink, because they have a thinner cell wall that does not stain very well. After the purple stain, the red counter stain is applied, so it looks pink

30
Q

What type of bacteria has a thick peptidoglycan layer?

A

gram positive

31
Q

What type of bacteria has an outer membrane with LPS and thin peptidoglycan layer?

A

gram negative

32
Q

If the bacteria has a morphology as part of its name, what type is it?

A

gram positive

33
