Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A bacterial cell wall has peptidoglycans. Peptidoglycan or murein is a complex of oligosaccharides and proteins,and it helps the cell maintain its shape and structure.The cell wall in bacteria exists outside of the plasma membrane. Not only does the wall help configure the shape of the cell, but it also helps prevent the cell from bursting and spilling all of its content.The oligosaccharide component of bacterial cell wall consists of linear chains of alternating NAG and NAM linked by β (1-4)linkage.
Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
