Final answer:

Gram-positive organisms lack an outer membrane and have a thick cell wall composed mainly of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria have a thin cell wall and an outer envelope containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and lipoproteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gram-positive organisms typically lack the outer membrane found in Gram-negative organisms. They have a thick cell wall composed mainly of peptidoglycan. On the other hand, Gram-negative bacteria have a relatively thin cell wall composed of a few layers of peptidoglycan surrounded by an outer envelope containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and lipoproteins.



In terms of the question, the correct answer is 3) Both endo and exo. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms are capable of producing endo and exo substances, although the specific types and functions may vary.
