The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Wall-less gram-positive bacteria are called," we will analyze the options provided and determine the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question is asking for the term used to describe wall-less gram-positive bacteria. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: We have four options to consider: - Option 1: Protoplast - Option 2: Spheroplast - Option 3: Bacterioplast - Option 4: Mycoplasma 3. **Evaluating Option 1: Protoplast**: - Protoplasts are bacterial cells that have had their cell wall removed. - Since the question specifies "wall-less gram-positive bacteria," protoplasts fit this description perfectly as they are derived from gram-positive bacteria after the cell wall has been removed. 4. **Evaluating Option 2: Spheroplast**: - Spheroplasts are not wall-less; they are bacteria that still have part of their cell wall intact but are bounded by their plasma membrane. - Therefore, this option does not apply to wall-less bacteria. 5. **Evaluating Option 3: Bacterioplast**: - The term "bacterioplast" is not commonly used in the context of wall-less bacteria and does not refer to a specific type of bacteria. - This option is incorrect. 6. **Evaluating Option 4: Mycoplasma**: - Mycoplasma are indeed wall-less bacteria, but they are classified as gram-negative, which does not fit the requirement of the question for gram-positive bacteria. - Thus, this option is also incorrect. 7. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all the options, the only correct answer is **Protoplast**. ### Final Answer: **Wall-less gram-positive bacteria are called Protoplast.**
