Question

Cell wall of bacteria$/$ cyanobacteria possesses

• A. Chitin
• B. Murein$/$Mucopeptide
• C. Peptidoglycan and amino sugars
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

Bacteria and cyanobacteria both are prokaryotic organisms. They both lack true cell organelles. They both posses nucleoid instead of a true nucleus. Nucleoid is a genetic material without a nuclear envelope. The cell wall of bacteria and cyanobacteria is made up of peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a polymer made up of sugars and amino acids. It is also called as murein.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Both B and C.'
