What else can I help you with?
What substance is made of sugars and peptides and is found in the cell of Eubacteria?
The cell walls of eubacteria contain peptidoglycan.
Can prokaryotic cells be either gram positive or gram negative?
Yes, prokaryotic cells can be either gram positive or gram negative. This is determined by the structure of their cell walls and how they react to the Gram staining technique. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane.
What is a cell wall mad of?
A cell wall is typically made of cellulose in plant cells and peptidoglycan in bacterial cells. These tough, rigid structures provide support and protection for the cell.
What is peptidoglycan and lipids?
Peptidoglycan is a polymer that makes up the cell wall of bacteria, providing structure and protection. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that are insoluble in water, including fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol, and they play essential roles in cell structure, energy storage, and cell signaling.
How is the presence of peptidoglycan in bacteria cells clinically significant?
Peptidoglycan is a crucial component of bacterial cell walls, providing structural integrity and shape. Its presence is clinically significant because it serves as a target for antibiotics, such as penicillin, which inhibit its synthesis, leading to bacterial cell lysis. Additionally, the composition and structure of peptidoglycan can influence bacterial virulence and resistance to certain treatments, making it a key factor in understanding and managing bacterial infections.
What is peptidoglycan where is it found?
Peptidoglycan is a chemical found in most cell walls of plant cells. Peptidoglycan is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms the cell wall.
Do yeast cells have peptidoglycan?
No, yeast cells do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Peptidoglycan is a structural component found in the cell walls of bacteria, while yeast cells have a different composition in their cell walls, typically containing beta-glucans and chitin.
What substance is made of sugars and peptides and is found in the cell of Eubacteria?
The cell walls of eubacteria contain peptidoglycan.
Why don't plant cells burst when treated with penicillin?
The best i can do is: the cell walls are made from cellulose not peptidoglycan and penicillin interfers and weakens the peptidoglycan that makes up bacterial cell walls
Does eukaryotic cells contain a peptidoglycan cell wall?
Peptidoglycan is composed of amino acids and sugars that form the cell wall of a bacteria. Some of the properties of the cell wall include proving shape to the bacteria, preventing osmotic lysis, offer rigidity to the organism
Is the cell membrane the outer most structure for most bacterial cells?
There is a cell wall.It is made up with peptidoglycan.
Do prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan?
prokaryotes are bacterial cells. Bacterial cells can be either gram positive or gram negative. If the cell wall is gram positive it will have a cell membrane covered by MULTIPLE layers of peptidoglycan with strings of techolic acid going thru it. If the cell wall is gram negative it will have a cell membrane covered by ONE layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane surrounding it.
Can prokaryotic cells be either gram positive or gram negative?
Yes, prokaryotic cells can be either gram positive or gram negative. This is determined by the structure of their cell walls and how they react to the Gram staining technique. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane.
What is in plant cells but not found in bacterial cells?
Plant cells have organelles such as chloroplasts and a large central vacuole that are not found in bacterial cells. Plant cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, while most bacterial cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.
What is the main difference between plant and bacterial cells?
Plants are multicellular, bacterias are unicellular.Plant cells have cell walls made from cellulose. Bacterias have cell walls made of peptidoglycan.
Nonliving material that makes up the cell walls of a plant cells?
cellulose. cellulose is not the material in ALL cell walls, just plant cells. It's chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria.
Construct a Venn diagram to illustrate the similarities and differences between gram positive gram negative cells?
Not really possible to make a venn diagram, but here's a list: Similarities: In Bacteria Involve a peptidoglycan layer Differences Gram-negative is much more toxic Gram-negative is crystal violet in the Gram stain while Gram-positive is red
