56

characteristics of a typical prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell

prokaryotic cells' DNA is not enclosed within a membrane and is usually single.they usually lack organelles and their cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Eukaryotic cells' DNA is found in the cell's nucleus, they have a number os membrane-enclosed organelles and their cell walls are chemically simple

57

compare and contrast gram-positive and gram-negative cell walls

the application of alcohol dehydrates the peptidoglycan of gram positve to make it more impermeable to crystals violet iodine. in gram negative, alcohol dissolves the outer membrane and leaves small holes in the thin peptidoglycan layer through which crystal violet-iodine diffuse. Gram-positive cell walls consist of peptidoglycan while gram-negative contains a few layers of peptidoglycan and anouter membrane

58
