Compare and contrast the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cell wall. Discuss the cell wall components that make the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cell wall similar and the cell wall components that make the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cell wall different from each other. Explain why you think one cell wall is stronger than the other.
