21
Q

what compounds did Millers experiment create

A

hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, amino acids

22
Q

Miller hypothesized

A

23
Q

gram neg vs pos

A

Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a thin peptidoglycan cell wall, which itself is surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. Gram-positive bacteria lack an outer membrane but are surrounded by layers of peptidoglycan many times thicker than is found in the Gram-negatives.

24
Q

gram pos

A

Peptidoglycan is a good target for antibacterial drugs making antibiotics to treat it easier than negative
