Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statement/s is/are true about gram positive bacteria
Cell wall has thick peptidoglycan layer
Cell wall lipid content is very low
Lipopolyscharride layer is absent
All of the above
Which of the following statement/s is/are true about gram negative bacteria
Cell wall has thin peptidoglycan layer
Cell wall lipid content is very low
Lipopolyscharride layer is present
All of the above
Which of the following statement about 3 bacterial cell wall is incorrect
Peptidoglycan consists of long polysaccharide chainscross-linked with amino acids.
The cell wall establishes a bacterium as a coccus, bacillus, or spirillum.
The cell wall is relatively nonpermeable and restricts the passage of sugars and amino acids.
Gram- negative cells have a membrane both inside andoutside their cell walls.
Gram-positive cells have more peptidoglycan in their cell walls gram-negative cells

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.
