Is there any similarity between bacterial cell wall and plant cell wall?
No, there is no similarity in bacterial cell walls and plant cell walls. They are different morphologically and also in chemical composition; plant cell walls are made up of cellulose, whereas bacterial cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan (also known as murein).
Peptidoglycan is a unique macromolecule found in bacterial?
cell walls
Do all bacteria have a cell wall?
Most, but not all bacteria as well as archea have cell walls. Eukaryotic cell walls of plants are entirely different than bacterial cell walls, however.
How are cell walls important to bacterial cells?
The bacterial cell walls are benefical medically because their formation is different from plant cell wall, so some of medicines can stop the growth of bacteria inside the host without affecting the host cells growth.
What is a bacterial genus that has waxy mycolic acid in the cell walls?
Mycobacterium

Do bacterial plant and animal cells have walls?
only plant and bacterial cells have walls
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.
Do bacterial cells have cell walls or cell memebranes?
they are prokaryotic and therefore only have a cell membrane only plant cells have cell walls
Peptidoglycan is a unique macromolecule found in bacterial?
cell walls
Do all bacteria have a cell wall?

What are cell walls made of if they protect some bacteria from damage?
Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein).
How are cell walls important to bacterial cells?
The bacterial cell walls are benefical medically because their formation is different from plant cell wall, so some of medicines can stop the growth of bacteria inside the host without affecting the host cells growth.
What polysaccharides makes up the plat cell walls?
Plant cell walls are mostly composed of cellulose. They also contain hemicellulose and pectin. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan.
What is a bacterial genus that has waxy mycolic acid in the cell walls?
Mycobacterium
Bacterial cell walls contain a unique substance called?
chitin
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!
