Question

0/10 pts orrect Question 4 In the gram-positive bacteria, the peptidoglycan forms a thick, complex network around the outer surface of the cell. In the gram-negative bacteria, a thin layer of peptidoglycan is sandwiched between the plasma membranes and a second outer membrane. Some antibiotics that are effective against gram-positive bacteria have no effect on gram-negative bacteria. What can explain this difference? In gram-positive the peptidoglycan cell wall prevents antbiotics from reaching the cell membrane gram-positive, the outer cell membrane prevents antibiotics fron eaching the cell wall In gram-negative, the peptidoglycan cell wall prevents antibiotics from reaching the cell membrane In gram-negative. the outer cell membrane prevents antibiotics from reaching the cel wa

Explanation / Answer

4) The correct option is In gram-negative, the outer cell membrane prevents antibiotics from reaching the cell wall.

Outer layer that interfere with cell wall makes gram-negative bacteria resistant to many antibiotics. These bacterias have less peptidoglycan and toxic outer membrane, and they are more likely to be antibiotic resistant.

5) The correct option is Energy from photons is transferred to water, electrons are then transferred to ATP synthase.

ATP synthase adds a phosphate to ADP which forms ATP.
