The term protoplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-positive bacteria. Spheroplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-negative bacteria. The difference is essentially the presence of a single membrane, in the case of the protoplast, and the two membranes (inner and outer) of the Gram-negative spheroplasts. It is also possible to generate a gram-negative protoplast by the removal of the outer membrane. Thus, in essence, protoplast refers to a bacterial sphere that is bounded by a single membrane and spheroplast refers to a sphere that is bounded by two membranes

What are the functions of protoplast?
Protoplast consist of nuclus and cytoplast. So protoplast help in protein synthesis.
What is symplastic water movement?
movement of water from protoplast to protoplast via plasmodesmata, but avoiding the vacuole.
What is the difference between a flaccid cell and plasmolised cell?
When a cell is immediatly withdrawn turgar pressure called flaccid cell while a cell loose more water even after flaccididty and contraction of protoplast that cell is called plasmolised cell
What is a first organized particle?
A protoplast.
What is the connection of protoplast with cell?
liquid content of the cell

Is the green colour pigment in the leaves called protoplast?

What is Protoplast Fusion in Becterial cell?
it is a technique by which protoplast cells are fused to get new hybrid.
What is symplastic water movement?
movement of water from protoplast to protoplast via plasmodesmata, but avoiding the vacuole.
What is spheroplast cells?
cell that has completely remove cell wall by action of penicillin
What is the difference between protoplast and protoplasm?
Protoplast is spherical completely cell wall deficient form assumed by gram(+) bacteria.It is produced by mechanical or enzymatic action.Presence of only single membrane.It cant be transformed to spheroplast.It can be used for membrane biology,DNA transformation. Whereas spheroplasts are almost completely cell wall deficient form assumed by gram(-) bacteria.It is produced by the action of penicillin.Presence of two membranes-outer & inner.It may possible to generate a gram(-)protoplast by removal of outer membrane.It is used for study of ion channels through patch clamp,transfection.

When a cell is immediatly withdrawn turgar pressure called flaccid cell while a cell loose more water even after flaccididty and contraction of protoplast that cell is called plasmolised cell
How would you use the word protoplast in a sentence?
A protoplast has had its cell wall entirely removed, leaving it naked and vulnerable before a lusty audience.
What is a first organized particle?
A protoplast.
What is found in plant cell?
Cell wall and protoplast
