How is bacterial cell same with animal cell?
They both have cytoplasm and have DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Bacterial cell walls contain a unique substance called?
chitin
Do cell membrane contain DNA synthesis?
No, a cell wall is found in a plant cell and it does not contain dexoxyribonucleic acid
What kind of Cell is it if it does not contain a nucleus?
bacterial cells do not contain nuclei and are known as prokaryotes. However a special case is red blood cells which do not contain nuclei either and are known as denucleated
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
Why do bacterial cell walls carry a negative charge?
The Gram positive bacterial cell wall is made up of thick peptidoglycan layer which is rich in Teichoic acids. These teichoic acids are negatively charged because of presence of phosphate in their structure. The Gram negative bacteria have an outer membrane composed of phospholipids and Lipopolysaccharides. The lipopolysaccharides impart a strongly negative charge to surface of Gram negative bacterial cells.
What is the outer cell wall of a bacterial cell made of?
the cell wall of gram+ve bacteria contains a large amount of peptiglycan and teichoic acids. the cell wall of gram-ve bacteria contains small amount of peptidoglycan.the outer layer of cell wall contains toxic lipopolysachharide.
How is bacterial cell same with animal cell?
They both have cytoplasm and have DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
What is a bacterial genus that has waxy mycolic acid in the cell walls?
Mycobacterium
Where is the location of bacterial cells in plant and animal cells?
While a bacterial cell does have a cell wall and a cell membrane, it does not contain a nucleus. The bacterial cell's genetic material, which looks like a thick, tangled string, is found in the cytoplasm.
Bacterial cell walls contain a unique substance called?
chitin
What lipid is responsible for the acid fastness of acid fast organisms?
High mycolic acid of certain bacterial cell wall
Where is the genectic material in a bacterial cell?
while bacterial cell does have a cell wall and a cell membrane, it does not contain a nucleus. the bacteria cell's genetic material, which looks like a thick, tangled a tring, is found in the cytoplasm
Does bacterial wall contain chitin?
As far as I'm aware - no. Chitin is present in the cell walls of funghi but I believe bacterial cell walls are mostly made of proteoglycans.
Chemical analysis of a bacterial cell structure detects calcium dipicolinic acid What is the identity of this structure?
cell wall
How is the viral nucleic acid core different from the nucleicid of the bacterial host?
bactrial DNA:- most bic / larger, but only one cell viral nucleic acid:- smaller then bacterial nucleic acid, but it has many cells
Why are your tears natural barriers?
Tears contain lysozyme, which degrades bacterial cell membranes.
