Bacteria and human cells also differ in the structure of their cell membranes and the machinery they use to build proteins or copy DNA. Cell walls are distinctly different from cell membranes. Basic Bacterial Cell Structure Bacterial Cell Structure Cell Wall Cell Structure Two types of L-forms are distinguished. . Helps unblock pores through cell turnover. Like plant cells bacteria have a cell wall. All cells have cell membranes but generally only plants fungi algae most bacteria and archaea have cells with cell walls. However there are certain types of bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis which have become resistant to these methods of digestion. Some bacteria also have a polysaccharide capsule layer surrounding the cell wall. Almost all prokaryotes have a cell wall a protective structure that allows them to survive in extreme conditions which is located outside of their plasma membrane. What is th...
