What are cell walls made of if they protect some bacteria from damage?

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein).


How does the cell wall of a plant cell differ from the cell wall of a bacteria cell?

Plant cell walls are made of carbohydrates like cellulose. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. Hope this helps!


All organisms whose cells are bounded by cell walls are called?

Plants, algae, fungi and bacteria all have cell walls. Animal cells do not have cell walls. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. In true fungi they are usually made of chitin, in algae they are made of a polysaccharide (like cellulose) or a glycoprotein, and bacteria have a peptidoglycan wall.


Why do the plant and bacteria cells seem more rigid?

They do not seem more rigid, they are more rigid! They both have cell walls. Many eubacteria, the bacteria you are most familiar with, have cell walls of peptidoglycan. Plants have cell walls made of interlocking cellulose.


Which is these organisms has the most complex cell wall?

Plants and fungi have cell walls. Note that while plants have cell walls made of cellulose, fungi cell walls are made of chitin.


What type of cell has a cell wall besides animal and plant cell?

Prokaryotes (bacteria) have cell walls but no organelles.


Prokaryotic cell walls are constructed out of what?

Prokaryotic cell walls are made out of peptidoglycan if its for bacteria. In the algae most posses a cell wall made out of surface layer protein, which forms a s-layer.


What are the main respective constituents of cell walls in bacteria protists fungi and plants?

Plant cell walls are composed of cellulose, while fungal cells walls are composed of chitin. Both are long-chain starches comprised of many glucose subunits.


What macromolecule are cell walls mostly made of?

In plants cell wall made up of cellulose. In fungi,it is chitin. In bacteria it is peptidoglycan


What structure is found on the outside of the cell membrane in bacteria and plant cells?

While cell membranes might be around every cell, cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells. There are other sorts of cell walls. Many but not all bacteria also have a structure called a cell wall.Fungi and some protozoa also have cell walls. These walls are made of proteins. They serve the same purpose of protecting and maintaining structure.


Do different organisms have different substances within their cell walls?

Yes, they do. For example: Bacterial cell walls are made out of peptidoglycan. Plant cell walls are made out of cellulose. Fungi cell walls are made out of chitin.


What is found in the cell walls of bacteria?

Bacterial cells are made up of Murin.Also called peptido glycan.
