1) True or false: The biochemical basis of the Gram stain is the thickness of peptidoglycan layers surrounding cells. Therefore, a Gram-positive cell with a thin layer of peptidoglycan should stain as Gram-negative. 2) True or false: If the iodine is not applied during the Gram stain, then Gram-positive cells will likely stain pink.
