A) more / bacteriophages must be coated by lipopolysaccharide to attach to bacterial cells

D) less / there prokaryotic cells have a simple structure compared to eukaryotic cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacteriophages have a more complex structure than animal viruses because they must penetrate the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacterial cells, which is a barrier that animal viruses do not have to overcome. This complexity includes additional proteins, such as tail fibers and tail spikes, that aid in the attachment and penetration of the bacteriophage.
