A cell wall is a permeable layer found in plant cells which acts as a membrane through which water molecules can pass through while animal cells do not have cell walls.. they just have a cell membrane which is selectively permeable to some chemicals or substances.. water does not move from the region of higher to lower concentration in animal cells

In short, plant cells have cell walls that allow osmosis while animal cells do not have cell walls for osmosis to take place

hope it helps you :)

Instead in our hands... something else happens rills or groove shaped lines are formed in our fingers.. it is an adaptation for our body to provide for some friction in water...

A bacterial cell that contains an outer membrane and periplasmic space stains pink to red on Gram stain. Which one of the follow
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.

Explanation:

Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
