I am doing my microbiology homework and I need help with these questions: 1) List the structures ALL bacteria possess. 2) Identify three structures SOME but not all bacteria possess. 5) Describe the structure and function of three different structures found outside of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. 6) Differentiate between the two main types of bacterial envelope structures. 7) Why are Gram-positive cell walls stronger than Gram-negative cell walls? 8) Name a substance in the envelope of SOME bacteria that can cause severe symptoms in humans. 9) Describe the causes of sporogenesis and germination 10) Compare and contrast the major features of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes by completing the table below. Characteristic Bacteria Archaea Eukarya Chromosome Type of Ribosomes Protein Synthesis Similar to Eukarya Sterols In Membrane Membrane-bound Organelles Peptidoglycan in Cell wall

There are five major clades of bacteria. List three of them and provide their general characteristics and at least one example for each group.

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.)
