The correct response is:
Gram staining helps scientists visualize the thickness of bacterial cell walls.
Gram staining differentiates bacteria into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure and thickness of their cell walls, which can influence how they respond to their environments, including their susceptibility to antibiotics and environmental stresses.
