Question

Difference between bacterial and archar cell membrane

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteria contain peptidoglycan in the cell wall; archaea do not. The cell membrane in bacteria is a lipid bilayer; in archaea, it can be a lipid bilayer or a monolayer. Bacteria contain fatty acids on the cell membrane, whereas archaea contain phytanyl.

Answer 2

Answer:

The plasma membrane or bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and thus has all of the general functions of a cell membrane such as acting as a permeability barrier for most molecules and serving as the location for the transport of molecules into the cell.

Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that lack a cell nucleus and membrane -bound organelles. Like other living organisms, archaea have a semi-rigid cell wall that protects them from the environment.
