Which part of bacteria is resistant to antibiotics?

Correct answer: D. Cell wall

  • A. Capsule
  • B. Slime
  • C. Spore
  • D. Cell wall

Explanation

In the bacterial cell wall, lying between the outer membrane layer and the cytoplasmic membrane is a site where some species of enzymes called beta-lactamases are present that degrade penicillins and other beta-lactam drugs. The capsule is a gelatinous layer covering the entire bacterium. It plays a role in the adherence of bacteria to human issues. A slime layer is an additional layer that can be produced in ground-dwelling prokaryotes to prevent unnecessary drying due to annual temperature and humidity shifts. Spore formation is a type of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In endospore formation, the bacterium divides within its cell wall, and one side then engulfs the other.
