The second membrane protects e.coli (Gram-negative bacteria) against a harsh environment.

The outer membrane indirectly helps stabilize the inner membrane as peptidoglycan layer in Gram-negative bacteria is relatively thin than gram positive bacteria ( they have multilayer pepdtidoglycan )

kow [346]

He proposed a model according to which there are many intermediate degrees between heterosexuality and homosexuality. This gradualness was embodied in what is now known as the Kinsey scale.

TiliK225 [7]
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.
