Cell walls. This is a rigid layer made of cross-linked protein and sugars that surrounds the bacteria, holding it together and stopping it from exploding. The stain is called Gram's stain and is either purple (+ve) or pink (-ve). This distinction is used because it allows you to quickly cut the bacteria in half, and more importantly decide which antibiotic to give without actually having to grow the thing.

<span>The most prominent bacterial structural characteristic is the cell wall. Bacteria can be divided into two groups (gram-positive and gram-negative) based on differences in cell wall structure as revealed by Gram staining. In a Gram stain, a series of dyes are applied to stain cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria have an outer, lipopolysaccharide-containing membrane and stain pink. They also have a thin peptidoglycan layer located in the periplasm (the region between the outer and cytoplasmic membranes). Gram-positive bacteria lack this covering, but possess a cell wall containing a thick peptidoglycan (called Murein in older sources) layer and teichoic acids; they stain purple. Gram-positive bacteria are more susceptible to antibiotics, while gram-negative bacteria are difficult to treat with antibiotics.</span>

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. Liver

2. Pancreas

3. Lungs

4. Saliva

5. Small intestine

6. Large intestine

Explanation:

1. Liver is a large, infact the largest, organ found in the digestive system. It has variety of functions ranging from detoxification to digestion. The liver functions in digestion by secreting a substance called BILE which helps in the breakdown of fat in the small intestine.

2. Pancreas is another accessory digestive organ which serves as a endocrine organ which secretes enzymes that aid in the digestion of protein and carbohydrate molecules.

3. Lungs are respiratory organs whose function is key to the respiratory system. They are the organs that serve as a medium of the entry of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide, a process called GAS EXCHANGE.

4. Saliva is a liquid substance secreted by the salivary gland in the mouth. Saliva contains certain enzymes; most notably is the AMYLASE that breaks down starch into sugar.

5. Small intestine is another organ in the digestive system composed of the ileum, jejenum and duodenum. The small intestine is the organ where the absorption of nutrients into the blood from the digested food takes place.

6. Large intestine is the extension of the small intestine whose function is to absorb extra water from undigested food and pass out the remaining as feaces.
