1.	Assertion : Some bacteria have the caoacity to retain Gram stain after treatement with acid alcohol. Reason : They are known as Gram positive as they are attracted towards positive pole under influence of electric current.A. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertionB. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertionC. If the assertion is true but the reason is falseD. If both the assertion and reason are false
Answer» Correct Answer - c The cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria contains alcohol-soluble lipid, while the cell wall of Gram- positive bacteria lacks the lipids and therefore resist decolourisation and retain the primary stain, appearing violet. Gram-negative bacteria are decolorized by organic solvents and therefore, take the counter stain, appearing red. Gram +ve bacteria does not attracted towards positive pole under influence of electric current.
