Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inward growth of the cell envelope from opposite directions is known as septation, and the resulting partition is known as the septum. The divisome is a complex of proteins involved in cell division, including the Z-ring, which is responsible for guiding the placement of the septum. The wall refers to the entire cell envelope and is not specific to the partition formed during cell division. A colony is a group of cells growing on a solid surface.
