Question

﻿a bacterial cell without a cell wall exhibiting crenation is due to what condition?

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ A bacterial cell without a cell wall exhibiting crenation is likely in a hypertonic solution. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Osmotic Pressure: The cell is losing water due to the higher solute concentration outside the cell compared to the inside. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Lack of Cell Wall: Without a cell wall, the bacterial cell is more susceptible to osmotic pressure changes, leading to crenation. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Osmotic pressure in hypertonic solutions ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Crenation in bacteria without a cell wall occurs because water moves out of the cell in a hypertonic environment, causing the cell to shrink.◊How does the absence of a cell wall in a bacterial cell affect its ability to maintain shape and⍭ Generate me a similar question◊⚹
