- What are the answers to the following?arrow_forwardYou conduct a gram stain on a bacterial culture. After counterstaining with safranin, cells are purple. What statements are true about the bacterial cells? (Choose all that are true.) Group of answer choices The cell wall of these cells helps to maintain cell shape and protect the cell from osmotic lysis. The cells have teichoic acids that have many important functions in gram positive bacteria Cells have a periplasmic space and a thin layer of peptidoglycan. The cells produce endotoxin (LPS) and may cause septic shock in an infected individual.arrow_forwardYou are studying the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria.
