How does the cell wall aid in classifying bacteria?

Bacteria fall under 2 categories based on their cell wall, either Gram positive or Gram negative. The bacterial cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan. A special staining technique called Gram staining is used to differentiate between these bacteria. Gram positive bacteria, containing a thick layer of peptidoglycan, will retain/absorb more of the crystal violet dye and appear purple/blueish after being stained. Gram negative bacteria contain an outer membrane which Gram positive bacteria do not. Also the peptidoglycan layer is much thinner compared to that of a Gram positive bacteria. This thinner layer will not absorb as much of the crystal violet dye as compared to the Gram positive bacteria. When a counterstain is added, the Gram negative bacteria will appear reddish/pinkish. Cliff notes Bacteria classified as either - Gram Positive -Gram Negative Gram Positive - No outer membrane - Thick layer of peptidoglycan - Will appear purple when stained Gram negative - Contain an outer membrane - Thin layer of peptidoglycan - Will appear reddish/pink when stained

Animals have somewhat compact shapes although they do not necessarily take the most compact form possible (which would be a sphere). Compact shapes are more defensible. Long, thin filaments can be more easily severed than short, thick limbs.
