Answer #1

Both gram positive and negative bacteria contains cell wall made up of peptidoglycan. An additional layer of glycocalyx called capsule ( also slime layer in some) is also present in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

The main difference between gram positive and gram negative bacterial membrane is the presence of an extra outer membrane in gram negative bacteria. It consists of lipopolysaccharide, lipoproteins, proteins and phospholipids.

Outer membrane is not present in gram positive bacteria. The second difference is the presence of thick layer of cell wall in gram positive bacteria.
