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

- Several students argued about why Gram-positive cells stain purple with the Gram stain whereas Gram-negative cells stain pink. Which explanation is correct? Multiple Choice Alcohol dehydrates peptidoglycan; the thick layer of dehydrated peptidoglycan in Gram-negative cells prevents the crystal violet from being washed out Safranin stains lipopolysaccharide, and because only Gram-negative cells have lipopolysaccharide, those cells look pink. Safranin stains lipopolysaccharide, and because only Gram-negative cells have lipopolysaccharide, those cells look pink. Alcohol dehydrates peptidoglycan; the thick layer of dehydrated peptidoglycan in Gram-positive cells prevents the crystal violet from being washed out. Crystal violet specifically stains peptidoglycan, and because Gram-positive cells have a thicker peptidoglycan layer those cells look purple. Alcohol destroys lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative cell walls, allowing safranin to enter the cells and staining them pink.arrow_forwardIn the diagram below, identify the structures of a cyanobacterial cell based on the following descriptions: a) Outer cellular covering which includes: Mucilaginous layer – outermost layer covering the cell wall; protects the cell from harmful factors of the environment Cell wall – found just below the mucilaginous layer; 2 or 3-layered, the inner layer lies in between the outer wall layer and plasma membrane; the outer layer is made of peptidoglycan Innermost plasma membrane – selectively permeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm b) Cytoplasm – found below the plasma membrane; the protoplasm which contains structures of different shapes and functions. Lamellae, which contain pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenes, xanthophylls, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, are located in the peripheral region of cytoplasm.

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_forwardWhich of the following is correct?
