Question

Someone can please help me to fill in the table below 

**Table: Characteristics of Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria**

| Type of bacteria       | Color after Gram staining | Structure/chemical composition of the cell wall | Resistance to antibiotics? |
|------------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| Gram positive bacteria |                           |                                                |                           |
| Gram negative bacteria |                           |                                                |                           |

**Instructions:**

This table is intended to be filled with information regarding the characteristics of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. When completing the table, consider the following aspects:

1. **Color after Gram Staining:**
   - Gram positive bacteria typically appear purple.
   - Gram negative bacteria usually appear pink or red.

2. **Structure/Chemical Composition of the Cell Wall:**
   - Gram positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer.
   - Gram negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane.

3. **Resistance to Antibiotics:**
   - Gram positive bacteria may be more susceptible to certain antibiotics due to their cell wall structure.
   - Gram negative bacteria often exhibit more resistance due to their outer membrane, which can act as a barrier to antibiotics.

Educators can use this structure to guide students through the differences in bacterial classification and the implications for treatment.
