Bacteria contain a well-developed cell structure which is responsible for many of their unique biological properties. The thick cellular wall helps bacterial cells maintain their shape.

How are monomorphic and pleomorphic alike and different?

Monomorphic and pleomorphic both describe the variation in shape and size of a bacterial cell. The key difference is that monomorphic bacteria maintain a consistent shape, while pleomorphic bacteria can change shape depending on environmental conditions.


An allosteric receptor embedded in a cell membrane will change shape only?

An allosteric receptor embedded in a cell membrane will change shape in response to the binding of a specific molecule or ligand, which causes a conformational change in the receptor. This change in shape can alter the receptor's ability to interact with other molecules or signaling proteins within the cell, ultimately triggering a cellular response.


The cells of plants algae fungi and most bacteria get their shape from?

The cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria get their shape from the cell wall. It provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the cell. In plants and algae, the cell wall is primarily composed of cellulose, while in fungi it is made of chitin.


What is the type of coating on a bacteria cell?

In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and is essential to the survival of many bacteria. Bacteria have been classified into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria possess thick cell wall consisting of many layers of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. Gram-negative bacteria have relatively thin cell wall consisting of few layers of peptidoglycan.


Firm protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants fungi most bacteria and some protests?

Cell wall is the firm protective structure that provides shape and support to plant cells, fungi, most bacteria, and some protists. It is made up of cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi, and peptidoglycan in bacteria.

Do bacteria have a cell wall?

Yes, bacteria have a cell wall. It helps to maintain their shape and provides protection from the external environment. The cell wall of bacteria is made of peptidoglycan.


What does the cell wall do in a bacteria cell?

It protects and supports the cell.It also gives shape.


Is a bacteria consumer?

yes, they are grouped by the type of cell wall produced: a thick cell wall or a thinner cell wall. other group do not produce cell wall, this group is unique, because this allows them to change their shape one example may be: mycoplasma pneumonia.
