Which linkage breaks lysozyme in bacterial cell wall?

Bacterial cell walls contain a layer of peptidoglycan, which is the specific site that lysozyme attacks.The layer contains alternating molecules called N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid.These molecules form a strong chain that acts as the backbone for the cell wall. The link between the two is cleaved by lysozyme. Once this chain is broken by lysozyme, it results in bacterial death.

Supporting structure of the cell that is involved in movement?

In cells (Bacterial), the structure present for movement is Flagella.In human cells, no such structure is present, then also movement occurs.There is a molecular mechanism attached with it.The presence of calcium ions (intracellular) which on excitation binds with the specific protein and initiate the chain of reaction which leads to contraction. It produces movement.Ca-Calmodulin complex-Initiation of Myosin light chain kinase-Phosphorylation-Contraction.
