One technique for staining bacteria for viewing under the microscope is called the Gram stain. In this technique, alcohol is used as a decolorizer because it degrades the outer membrane found in some bacteria. What chemical component of the cell does alcohol affect?

Lipids

Explanation:

In gram staining procedures, alcohol serve as the decolorizing agent.

The alcohol, being an organic solvent dissolves lipids present in the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, allowing the gram stain to leak out of the thinner peptidoglycan layer unlike in Gram-positive bacteria with thicker peptidoglycan layer

Thus, lipids are the chemical components affected by alcohol.

the answer is: reproductively

i think i spelled it wrong lol

anyways hope i

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
