Which of the following describes a cell structure that a Gram-negative bacterium has that a Gram-positive bacteria does not have
Furkat [3]

A Gram- negative bacteria has a thin cell wall of Peptidoglycan which is sandwiched between the cell membrane and outer membrane. Where as, the Gram positive bacteria has a thick layer of Peptidoglycan outside their cell membrane.

Hence Gram- negative bacteria is different from a Gram- negative bacteria in because it has an extra layer that is outside the Peptidoglycan layer.

Hence the right option is D

This feature of the Gram-negative bacteria does not let crystal violet solution to soak into its Peptidoglycan layer because it is covered by the extra layer where as an Gram- positive bacteria will easy soak into crystal violet solution due to the exposed Peptidoglycan layer.

1. Which of the following statements best describe the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms?
GREYUIT [131]
1) C. Gymnosperms are mostly adapted for wind pollination; angiosperms are mostly adapted for animal pollination. This is the best answer, because the others had the two types reversed. Gymnos have "naked" seeded cones, whereas Angios have seeds protected by fruit. Therefore the Angios relies on animals to eat the fruit and to pollinate, whereas Gymnos relied on wind to pollinate the ground. Gymnos came first on Earth and Angios developed later.

2) C. Cuticle. This is a waxy coating helping to keep water in. The main water losses are via stomata.

3) C. Stomata

4) B. Nonvascular

5) B. Gravity

These answers were explained in the questions that I just answered before. So refer to those for explanations.
