Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 7FTB
What structure in bacterial cells is composed of peptidoglycan? What structure in prokaryotic cells serves a similar function to the nucleus in eukaryotic cells? Short segments of DNA that confer special features such as antibiotic resistance on bacteria are called _____. Bacterial structures called pull bacterial cells together so they can transfer DNA.

Why does penicillin not inhibit growth of archaeal cells? Group of answer choices Most archaeal cells have a cell wall, but it is not composed of peptidoglycan. Archaeal cells do not have a cell wall. Penicillin is unable to penetrate the lipid outer membrane that blocks access of penicillin to the peptidogycan crosslinking enzymes. Pencillin is unable to penetrate the S layer to reach the peptidoglycan layer underneath.arrow_forward
