Question

in the figure, which diagram of a cell wall possesses lipid a/endotoxin responsible for symptoms associated with infection?
a both a and b
b a
c the answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.
d neither a nor b
e b

Explanation:

Lipid A (endotoxin) is part of the outer membrane of Gram - negative bacteria. Diagram b likely represents a structure with an outer membrane (characteristic of Gram - negative cell wall), while diagram a may represent a Gram - positive cell wall (which lacks the outer membrane with lipid A). So the diagram with lipid A/endotoxin is b.

Answer:

E. b
