1) The false statements regarding gram positive cells
b) stains pink or red. Actually they stains purple or violet because of the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, which retains the crystal violet these cells are stained with.
d) can result in endotoxin release and shock reactions. Since gram positive bacteria are made of peptidoglycan, they do not produce endotoxins.
h) thick layer of lipopolysacharides. It is found only in gram negative bacteria
2)All statements are true except b) lack cell membrane. Chlamydia trachimatis is an obligate intracellular gram negative bacteria with a cytoplasmic membrane and outer membrane similar to Gram-negative bacteria (thus, it being classified as Gram-negative). It lacks peptidoglycan cell wall and causes the sexually transmitted disease chlamydiasis.
3) Except the membrane bound organelle b) mitochondria others are present in archaea cells
4) c) contains cell membrane is only true for all bacteria. Since bacteria is prokaryote and lack membrane bound organelles, they don't have nucleus, mitochondria, mitochondrial DNA, or lysosomes.
5) Prokaryotic flagella is composed of protein flagellin not phospholipid bilayer. Hence statement(a) is false. And others are true. It has a whip like structure that helps in cell motility both chemotaxis and phototaxis.
6) incomplete question
7) d) cyanobacteria also known as blue green algae is photosynthetic and produce oxygen gas while other bacteria do not.
8) condenser in microscope is used to focus light on to the specimen. This was absent in Leeuwenhoek's microscope.
9) e) synthesis of peptidoglycan cell wall. Antibiotics commonly target bacterial cell wall formation (of which peptidoglycan is an important component) because animal cells do not have cell walls.There are two main ways in which antibiotics target bacteria. They either prevent the reproduction of bacteria, or they kill the bacteria, for example by stopping the mechanism responsible for building their cell walls.
10) b) false
protist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus. Protists include algae and mold and belong to kingdom protista. Fugus and yeast belong to kingdom fungi. Bacteria is moneran while helminth is invertebrate worm.
11) a) mitochondria, c) cell membrane with sterols e) nucleus are absent in prokaryotes. It contains 70S ribosomes and pilus.
The glycocalyx is a polysaccharide outside the cell. b) capsule is a form of glycocalyx which is a condensed well defined later closely surrounding the cell.
The prokaryotic cell with glycocalyx may contain b) capsule
12) bacterial Endospores
d) resist heat, radiation and boiling. The cortex is what makes the endospore so resistant to temperature. The cortex contains an inner membrane known as the core. The inner membrane that surrounds this core leads to the endospore's resistance against UV light and harsh chemicals that would normally destroy microbes.
