The cell wall of Gram (-) bacteria A.has a thick peptidoglycan layer AND is characterized by an outer membrane containing endotoxin B.has a thick peptidoglycan layer. C.has a thin peptidoglycan layer AND is characterized by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS). D.has a thin peptidoglycan layer. E.is more permeable to various molecules than the Gram-positive cell wall.

For each characteristic of a cell wall, indicate whether this is a characteristic of Gram-positive cells, Gram-negative cells, both, or neither. (G+, G-, both, neither) LPS (lipopolysaccharide) Outer membrane Periplasmic space Inner membrane Murein lipoprotein Teichoic acids Thick peptidoglycan Protein porins Thin peptidoglycan Flagella Surface layer proteins Capsule / Slime layer
