There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular. In eukaryotes, genetic material, or DNA, is contained within an organelle called the nucleus, where it is organized in long molecules called chromosomes. The plasma membrane in eukaryotes is a phospholipid bilayer that contains proteins attached to carbohydrates and sterols. Eukaryotes can move materials across the plasma membrane by passive processes and active …show more content…
When gram stained gram-negative bacteria stains pink or red; it is colorless and requires safranin as a counterstain. The cell wall of the bacterial cell is a complex, semirigid structure responsible for the shape of the cell (Tortora, Funke & Case, 2013). Gram positive bacteria occupy a multilayered thick peptidoglycan, and teichoic acid. Teichoic acids assist with distinguishes gram positive bacteria from other bacteria. The Gram positive bacteria are easier to kill. The gram reaction of dye staining is blue or violet. Gram-negative bacteria cell wall can be described as having a thin peptidoglycan, no teichoic acid but it does have an outer membrane lipopolysaccharide, lipoproteins, and phospholipids. The lipopolysaccharide is on top of the peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane helps protect cell from antibiotics and digestive
