What is the group of prokaryotes with strong cell walls and a variety of structures?

The group of prokaryotes with strong cell walls and a variety of structures are known as bacteria. Bacteria have diverse shapes, sizes, and structures, and their strong cell walls help protect them from external stresses.


What are some types of bacteria have cell walls?

All bacteria have cell walls. A cell wall outside the cell membrane is found in plants, fungi, bacteria, algae, and archaea. This cell wall is often a target of antibiotics. Viruses also attach to the bacteria cell walls. The bacteria that have cell walls include staph and strep.


Which domains include species that have cell walls?

Domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya include species that have cell walls. This includes bacteria with peptidoglycan cell walls, archaea with pseudopeptidoglycan cell walls, and plants, fungi, and some protists within the domain Eukarya with cellulose or chitin cell walls.


Why don't humans have cell walls?

Humans do not have cell walls because they are multicellular organisms that rely on other structures such as cell membranes for support, protection, and communication between cells. Cell walls are typically found in single-celled organisms like bacteria, fungi, and plants to provide structure and protection.


What is the structural polysaccharide in bacteria?

Peptidoglycan is the structural polysaccharide found in bacterial cell walls. It provides rigidity and structural support to the cell, helping to maintain its shape and protect it from osmotic stress.

Do gram negative bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls?

No, gram-negative bacteria do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls.


Do bacteria cell walls have peptidoglycan?

Yes, bacteria walls have peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is that target for antibiotics like penicillin, which prevent the cell wall formation. This causes the bacteria to burst with turgor pressure.
