Peptidoglycan Layer | MCQs

Explanation

The peptidoglycan cell wall is a unique and defining feature of bacteria.

It provides structural support and protection, helping bacteria maintain their shape.

Peptidoglycan is not found in amoeba, protozoa, or viruses, as these organisms have different structural components.

Explanation

The apparent shape of a bacterium is determined by the geometry of its growing cell wall (1–4).

Recently, a number of prokaryotic cytoskeletal proteins, such as FtsZ, MreB, and crescentin, have been shown to be important for shaping bacterial cells (4–7).
