What is the function of circular DNA in bacteria?
The capsule is a slime layer outside of prokaryotic cells. It sticks cells together and acts as a food reserve. It also protects cells from digestive enzymes and chemicals, etc.
Which organisms never have cells with cell walls?
Animal cells do not have cell walls.Plant cells have walls containing cellulose, fungal cell walls contain chitin, and bacteria have walls containing peptidoglycan.
What are two types of glycocalyx found on bacteria?
Glycocalyx consists of the carbohydrate moieties of membrane glycolipids and glycoproteins.
Are slime molds multicellular or unicellular?
Two broad groups of slime molds are recognized. The individual cells of cellular slime molds remain distinct-- separated by cell membranes-- during every phase of the mold's life cycle. Slime molds that pass through a stage in which their cells fuse to form large cells with many nuclei are called acellular slime molds.
Where does the cell theory state that all cells come?
Cells evolved from what is often called the primordial slime, and after that they reproduced, and that's where they come from.
Is there a slime capsule in animal cells?
No, the only slimy thing in there is the cell membrane
What are the bacteria producing slime layer?
capsule
What is the function of a slime capsule in a bacterial cell?
The slime capsule protects the Bacterium from desiccation ( drying out )
What are the organelles of prokaryotic cells?
Cell membrane, cell wall, slime capsule, flagellum, 70s ribosomes, plasmid, cytoplasm, circular DNA.
What is the slime layer that surround gram negative bacteria and keeps them from taking up purple stain?
capsule

What is the similarity between slime layer and capsule bacteria?
To protect the bacteria from environmental dangers! :) Yea I just found this out on wikipedia for a school project on slugs! x)
What is the slime layer gram negative bacteria and keeps them from taking up purple stain?
capsule
What is the Slime layer that surrounds gram-negative bacteria and keeps them from taking up purple stain?
capsule
Eukaryotic cells are represented by what cells?
unicellular eukaryotes (such as the slime, molds)
Why are encapsulated strains much more likely to cause disease than strains that do not produce a capsule?
Some bacterial cells are surrounded by an extracellular slime layer called a capsule or glycocalyx. This structure can play a protective role for certain pathogenic bacteria such as streptococcus pneunoniae. The capsule prevents phagocytic white blood cells from engulfing and destroying this bacterial pathogen, enabling the organism to invade the lungs and cause pneumonia. The capsule is also a means for many bacteria to attach to solid surfaces in the environment.
