  30. It is a very good practice for us… well done. But I have question on number 14. Isn’t Gram’s stain called a differential stain because it differentiates between bacteria staining gram negative pink and gram positive purple? And also on question number 18, aren’t chloroplast and mitochondria membrane bounded? Actually double membrane bounded? And lastly on question number 13, aren’t all of the reasons responsible for virus to be considered “non living”? Please explain it to me. Thank you.
