What is the difference between Koch's Postulates and Molecular Koch's Postulates
Koch's Postulates wants to isolate microbe in pure culture.
Molecular Koch's Postulates identifies the gene or protein responsible for disease

When using the Gram stain, why is it that it able to differentiate between the two types of cell walls?
Gram negative cell wall has an outer membrane that is washed off by the use of Alcohol/Acetone. When stained with Safranin it stains it pink/red, while the Gram positive stays purple

What are differences between chromosomes and plasmids?
The chromosome is found in the nucleoid, heredity material, and is needed to survive
The plasmids are nonessential pieces of DNA and contain resistance genes, toxins, and enzymes
