Why do bacteria need the cell wall ? (select all that apply) O give them their shape
O gives them their color
O prevents bursting of the cell

A - it gives them their shape

Explanation:

Bacteria need a cell wall to help maintain their shape

- the cell wall is more stable and sturdy than a cell membrane

The other two answers are incorrect:

- the cell wall has no impact on the color of a bacteria

- the cell wall does not necessarily prevent the cell from bursting as the bacteria is still able to be burst by different cells of the immune system (ex. macrophages)

However! the cell wall does provide some protection to the bacteria as it protects the DNA inside the bacterium from being exposed to harsh environments outside of the cell. but since this isn't an option, A is the correct answer. (but you should probably still be aware of what else the cell wall does)

I hoped this helped :)

typically, most spiders possess eight eyes. however, others have as many as 12, and some don't have any. these eyes are for detecting light from dark, deciphering shapes and for gathering their prey.
