After staining your patient's specimen, an aspirate from the lungs, by the acid-fast stain method and focusing on the specimen, you find a large population of hot pink-red bacillus shaped bacteria in the smear which statement is true? a) 1) your patient has hiv b) in all likelihood, the patient has tuberculosis c) this result would be a normal outcome when looking at normal sputum of healthy people. d) the patient has pneumonia

its a tuberculosis because they are acid fast

what it means is that high concentration of acid doesn't make them loose dye and they are still viable and able to retain dye that we added before acid so it appears to us as red or pink

answer: b: experiments that showed that all cells are similar in how they metabolize and in their composition

explanation:

enzyme active site and substrate specificity

enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. there may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. in some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products
