This rigid structure of prokaryotes contains peptidoglycan giving the cell shape and surrounding the cytoplasmic membrane. The cell wall provides the cell with protection from environment. http://microbiology.suite101.com/article.cfm/prokaryotic_cells A cell wall is a tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell, located external to the cell membrane, which provides the cell with structural support, protection, and acts as a filtering mechanism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

What is the cell wall a common feature to?
The cell wall is a common feature to prokaryotic and plant cells.
What are the 4 components that all prokaryotic cells have?
External structures of a prokaryotic cell include glycocalyces, flagella, fimbriae, and pili. Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Prokaryotic cells have a cytoplasmic membrane, cytosol, and inclusions. The nonmembranous organelles found in a prokaryotic cell are ribosomes and the cytoskeleton.
Is mold prokaryotic?
prokaryotic because it contains a cell wall All fungi are eukaryotes including mold!
Explain the effect of penicillin on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
penicillin destroys the cell wall on prokaryotic cells no effects on animal cells since they don't have a cell wall but might have an effect on plant cells
What is the characteristic of something in the domain bacteria?
Unicellular
Does a cell wall have a prokaryotic cell?
yes, prokaryotic cells have atough cell wall. eg:bacterial cell.
What is the function of the prokaryotic cell's cell wall?
The function of the cell wall in the prokaryotic cell is to provide rigidity to maintain cell shape and provide protection.
Do prokaryotic have cell wall?
Yes. They have a cell wall. Plants which are eukaryotes also have cell walls.
Most important role of a prokaryotic cell wall?
most important role of prokaryotic cell wall is to protect the cell from osmotic pressures.
What surround the prokaryotic cell?
the prokaryotic cell is surrounded by a cell membrane and then a cell wall made of murein/peptidoglycon.
Are prokaryotic cells surrounded by a cell wall?
No. Some bacteria, like mycoplasmas, lack cell walls.
Is cell wall eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
Cell wall is a eukaryote, more specifically a plant cell.
What prokaryotic cell as a cell wall?
Every prokariyote has a cell wall.Bacteria has a cell wall made up of peptidoglycan.
Does a prokaryotic cell contain a cell wall?
in general, prokaryotes do have a cell wall. e.g most bacteria
What is the cell wall a common feature to?
The cell wall is a common feature to prokaryotic and plant cells.
Which cells have a cell wall?
Prokaryotic cells have walls.
Are prokaryotic cells the cells that are surrounded by a cell wall?
No, they are not!
