________ are charged molecules that are partially responsible for the ________ charge of the gram-positive bacterial cell surface.
A) Diaminopimelic acids / positive
B) Teichoic acids / negative
C) Phospholipids / negative
D) Peptide interbridges / neutral

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Teichoic acids are charged molecules that are partially responsible for the negative charge of the gram-positive bacterial cell surface. Diaminopimelic acids and peptide interbridges are components specific to the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, while phospholipids are found in both gram-positive and gram-negative cell membranes but are not necessarily responsible for the charge of the cell surface.
