Which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student's slide?
-insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide.
-by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell.
-rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
-overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting.
