Solution
The correct option is D Bacteria
Bacterial cell wall is made up of Peptidoglycan or murein. It is a polymer that is made up of sugars and amino acids. Diaminopimelic acid and muramic acid occur in the wall of bacteria and blue green algae. The sugar component is made up of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM). Muramic acid is then attached to amino acid chain of L-alanine, D-glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and D-alanine. Thus, the correct answer is 'Bacteria.'
