• C. Glucose and muramic acid
• D. Sucrose and mannose

Answer 1

The correct option is B Glucose and mannose

• The Yeast Cell Wall is made of 30 - 60% polysaccharides (beta-glucan and mannan sugar polymers), 15 - 30% proteins, 5 - 20% lipids, and a small amount of chitin.
• Glucan is a polymer of glucose, and mannan is a polymer of mannose.
