The cell wall of a bacterium is surrounded by a capsule which has the purpose of preventing the bacteria from becoming dehydrated. It is usually made up of a layer of polysaccharides and may also contain proteins. The presence of a capsule is usually associated with pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria because it acts as a barrier against white blood cells so that the white blood cells cannot engulf the bacteria and by this bacteria able to cross the defence mechanism of host and cause disease. It can also some time resist antibiotics

What surrounds and protects a plant cell?
A cell wall surrounds and protects a plant cell.
Does a bacteria cell have a cell wall and a cell membrane?
Bacterial cells have a cell membrane, as do the members of all 6 animal kingdoms. However, they do not have a cell wall. The cell wall is used only in plants, to help the plant stand up straight.
What a stiff layer of nonliving material that surrounds a plant cell?
Cell Wall
Is the cell wall close to the nucleus?
the cell wall surrounds the entire cell from the outside
What surrounds the cell membrane of plants?
Cell wall
What surrounds the cytoplasm a bacteria?
It is first surrounded by cell membrane.After that there is a cell wall.
What surrounds the cell membrane?
In plant cells, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. The cell wall gives the cell rigidity and strength. Cell walls can also be found in bacteria, fungi, and algae. They are not found in animal cells or protozoa.
The structure that surrounds the bacteria and gives it shape is known as?
This structure is called as Cell Wall that gives shape to the bacteria. This wall gives protection to the bacteria and prevents it from exploding because of osmotic lysis.
