Solution
The correct option is C Peptidoglycan
The cell wall of the prokaryotes, is composed of peptidoglycan, a single large polymer of amino acids and sugar. This rigid structure of peptidoglycan, specific only to prokaryotes, gives the cell shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane. Peptidoglycan is a huge polymer of disaccharides (glycan), cross-linked by short chains of identical amino acids (peptides) monomers.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
