Question

Distinguish between bacterial cell and nostoc cell

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Best Answer:  Nostoc is a genus of cyanobacteria so in one sense the question should be to distinguish between nostoc and other types of bacteria. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria so the main differences between these and other types of bacteria are the chemicals and some specialized structures for photosynthesis. The major structure needed is a highly infolded membrane with the internal part of the membrane being the site of photosynthesis. These folds give a much greater surface area to perform photosynthesis on.  

Other differences would include the presence of chlorophyll and other photosynthesis enzymes. Nostoc also grow in a filamentous form although there are some other types of filamentous bacteria.
