Which structures listed below are used to attach flagella to Gram-negative bacteria? a. Pair of rings associated with the peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide layers b. Shaft embedded in the peptidoglycan layer. c. Pair of rings embedded in the cell membrane d. Inner protein ring embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane Why does the concept of cell wall deficient bacteria (protoplasts and spheroplasts) still continue be of concern and requires further investigation? a. Release of antibiotic pressure allows for regeneration of cell walls b. Cell wall deficient bacteria can survive in blood and reproduce c. Fusion of cell walls form syncytia with altered pathogenic potential d. Experimental models of early life on earth

Which of the following statements is a correct statement about bacteria cell walls? In bacteria with acid-fast cell walls, there is an internal layer of mycolic acids beneath a thick peptidoglycan layer. Gram-negative bacterial cell walls contain teichoic acids, whereas the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria do not. The cell walls of gram-negative bacteria contain many more layers of peptidoglycan than those of gram-positive bacteria. In gram-negative bacteria, the thin layer of peptidoglycan is surrounded by an external membrane made of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and proteins. What is the primary function of the two organelles that are believed to have evolved by endosymbiosis? energy production immune response cell communication protein synthesis cellular movement
