What is a plausible explanation for why bacteria lack ether-linked cell membranes?
THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER ๐
The question does not provide options. The full quest is as follows:
What is a plausible explanation for why bacteria do not have ether – linked cell membranes? Pick one
a. They need chitin in the cell membranes
b. They exchange fluids with the environment
c. They do not live in the extreme environments
d. Peptidoglycan is a membrane
c. They do not live in the extreme environments
Explanation:
The cell wall in bacteria (Gram-negative bacteria) consists of a single layer of peptidoglycan surrounded by an asymmetric lipid bilayer (lipopolysaccharide (LPS) together with a glycolipid) called an outer membrane. The cell membrane facilitates soluble and protein translocation, as well as signal transduction.
Ado bacteria do not hold an ether-linked cell membrane because ether bonds are more in-thermal and only function at high temperatures. Lipids of bacterial type, archaic type and mixed membrane are mainly found.
Thus, because bacteria do not live in the extreme condition that is a key requirement for ether-linked membrane stability, bacteria do not lack ether-linked membrane and have a lipid membrane.
Hence, c is the correct otpion.
