Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gram-positive cell walls are composed primarily of peptidoglycan with small amounts of teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid. This differs from the gram-negative cell wall, which has an outer membrane with lipopolysaccharides and a smaller amount of peptidoglycan. Protoplasts and spheroplasts refer to cells that have had their cell wall completely or partially removed, respectively. Acid-fast cell walls have a unique composition of mycolic acids and are found predominantly in members of the genus Mycobacterium.
