The substance that helps keep the integrity of the bacterial cell wall intact is known as the peptidoglycan. Others also refer to is it as murein or mucopeptide. The bacterial cell wall is necessary for survival because of the high internal pressure present inside of bacteria. Under normal conditions, if the cell wall is removed the bacterial cell will burst.
The peptidoglycan is a layer that can be used to distinguish gram positive bacteria from gram negative ones. G(+) bacteria have a thick layer of this while G(-) have a thinner ones.
The statement above is TRUE.
The osteon is the fundamental functional unit of a compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical in shape and they are typically several millimetre long and about 0.2mm in diameter. The osteon resembles the growth ring of a tree trunk.
The cylindrical structure of osteon is made up of four different parts which are a central tube, a lamellae, a lacunae and canaliculi.
two new strands of DNA. The result is two DNA molecules consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides.
