A plant cell placed in a hypotonic solution will not lyse because?

The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.


Do viruses have a nuclear membrane a cell wall membrane-bound organelles or ribosomes?

No, viruses do not have membrane bound organalles


What happens to a cell or a nucleus when it is placed in water?

When a cell or nucleus is placed in water, they will undergo a process called osmosis. Water will move across the cell membrane to reach equilibrium, potentially causing the cell to swell and burst (lyse) if too much water enters. The nucleus may remain intact if the cell membrane protects it from the influx of water.


Mode of action of ceftriaxone?

The bactericidal activity of ceftriaxone results from inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis This antimicrobial agent Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis. Bacteria eventually lyse due to ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes (autolysins and murein hydrolases) while cell wall assembly is arrested.


Can you show me a Venn diagram of bacteria vs viruses?

I'm unable to display images, but I can describe it. In a Venn diagram comparing bacteria and viruses, the circles for bacteria and viruses would not overlap, indicating that they are distinct biological entities. Bacteria are single-celled organisms with a cell wall and can reproduce independently, whereas viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate.

What lyses the cell wall?

Enzymes called lysozymes can lyse bacterial cell walls by breaking down the peptide bonds in the peptidoglycan layer. Other substances, such as detergents or antibiotics, can also disrupt and lyse cell walls by affecting membrane integrity or cell wall synthesis.

Does yellow fever have a cell wall?

The yellow fever virus is released through a cell wall. Generally viruses do not have a cell wall. However, they attach to cell walls.


Can viruses be surrounded by a cell wall?

No, because viruses aren't cells but tiny pieces of nucleic acids. They can, however, be enclosed in a protein shell that is similar to a cell wall.


Are viruses surrounded by a cell wall?

No, but all cells have a cell membrane. A cell wall is a rigid structure found surrounding the cell membrane. In plant cells, this is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Bacteria have a peptidoglycan cell wall. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.

Does viruses have cell wall?

No. The RNA/DNA is in-cased in the "capsid". This is not the same thing as a cell wall.Edit: a cell wall - as the name implies - is a part of a cell. Viruses are not cells. Cells are living, viruses are not. Cells are also much larger in size - a virus to a cell could be roughly compared to a man standing next to the Empire State Building.


Why are cell walls not needed for animal cells?

every cell has a cell wall. It is needed for vital protection from viruses.


What happens to the cell wall?

Nothing,


Do viruseshave a cell wall?

No. Viruses aren't made of cells and don't naturally have their own cell parts.


What is the Effect of adding water to collected blood sample?

water has the wrong biochemcal properties for the cells within the blood and so they will lyse (cell wall disruption)
