Which of the following is true about the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria?

  • A.cell wall comprises of many layers
  • B.the cell wall is thicker than the associated gram-negative bacteria
  • C.Cell wall comprises of teichoic acids
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

All three are true of the gram-positive wall: it is built of many layers of peptidoglycan, making it much thicker than the gram-negative one, and it contains teichoic acids threaded through it. Those layers are what trap the crystal violet-iodine complex during Gram staining.
