What surrounds the cell wall in bacteria?

Answer 1

The cell wall of a bacterium is surrounded by a capsule which has the purpose of preventing the bacteria from becoming dehydrated. It is usually made up of a layer of polysaccharides and may also contain proteins. The presence of a capsule is usually associated with pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria because it acts as a barrier against white blood cells so that the white blood cells cannot engulf the bacteria and by this bacteria able to cross the defence mechanism of host and cause disease. It can also some time resist antibiotics

Answer 2

In bacteria, the cell wall is surrounded by a protective layer called the capsule or slime layer. This outer layer helps protect the bacteria from environmental stresses and can also play a role in adherence to surfaces or other cells.

Answer 3

Pilli (The small hairlike structures) surround all bacterial cell walls, and also flagella can be protruding one-multiple times based off of what species the bacterial cell is.

Answer 4

No. It is called a "cell wall". The cell membrane is a thin, semi-permeable layer between the cell wall and the cytoplasm.

Answer 5

A type of bacterium that is surrounded by a thick protective membrane is called an endospore. This bacterium can be killed by the use of antibiotics.

Answer 6

A Cell Wall
