1. How did Penicillin rupture the E. coli cells in the video? Or stated another way, what cellular target does the antibiotic attack and what is its mechanism of action? 2. Explain the bacterial cell wall structure and compare/contrast the Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial cell wall. 3. Will Penicillin act equally well on all types of bacteria? If you have answered yes, then explain why? If you have answered no, then which type of cell would be more susceptible to Penicillin? What is it about that one type of cell that allows penicillin to act more effectively??
