Answer:
In gram-negative bacteria, the thin layer of peptidoglycan is surrounded by an outer membrane made of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and proteins. This statement accurately describes specific bacterial cell walls.
Explanation:
The Gram- negative bacteria constitute of an outer membrane which is richly made up of lipopolysaccharides, phopholipids and proteins. The lipopolysaccharides function mainly as a virulence factor and are involved in causing variety of diseases in animals.
Gram- negative bacteria can be seperated from gram- positive bacteria mainly because of the thickness of peptidoglycan and by the presence of the outer membrane of Gram- negative bacteria. The outer membrane is absent in Gram- positive bacteria.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Active transport is one of the two major kinds of transport (the other being passive transport). Active transport involves moving substances against their concentration gradient i.e. from where they are low in concentration to where they are high in concentration. Hence, energy input in form of ATP is required by the cell to make this occur.
As stated in this question, the Na+/K+ (sodium-pottasium) ATPase pump is an example of active transport, which requires energy to move sodium ions. However, in active transport, substances are moved from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and not otherwise as depicted in this question, hence, it is FALSE.
