Question
Chapter 22.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
The bacteria have a wide range of diversity when compared to eukaryotes and they tend to adapt to their inhabited environment. Hence, the bacteria are studied as a separate field of study in the

Students have asked these similar questions
Why do acid-fast positive bacteria grow more slowly?
Why do low concentrations of alcohol inhibit Gram-negative bacteria more than Gram-positive bacteria?
Explain how the alcohol interacts with:
1) Gram-negative cell wall structures
2) Gram-positive cell wall structures
After completion of a Gram stain procedure, you notice the bacteria cells shown in the picture
below. How would you categorize the bacteria based on 1. Gram stain results, 2. Cell
arrangement, and 3. cell shape.?
Would the bacteria in question 7 have a thick layer of peptidoglycan or a thin layer of
peptidoglycan in its cell wall?
Would the bacteria in question 7 have an outer lipopolysaccharide layer in its cell wall?
Would the antibiotic penicillin likely work to eliminate infection with the bacteria in question 7?
How would you describe the type of flagella arrangement for the bacterium below? (You'll use
one word for the description here.)
