Feedback

A

Nothing can grow in the absence of nutrients.

B

Rickettsia and Chlamydia are the only bacteria that can grow inside living cells.

C

Regular bacteria do not need to be inside living cells to grow. They can obtain their nutrients from the environment.

D

Only the special bacteria called psychrophiles can grow at these low temperatures.

Capsule

Feedback

A

The cell wall protects the cell from being crushed.

B

The flagellum provides locomotion.

C

One of the functions of the cytoplasmic membrane is to regulate the entrance and exit of nutrient materials and waste products.

D

The capsule keeps the cell from drying out and is antiphagocytic.
