A bacterial cell wall is made up of ______________.
A) N-acetyl glucosamine
B) N-acetyl muramic acid
C) N-acetyl amino acids
D) N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl muramic acid, and amino acids

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bacterial cell wall is primarily composed of peptidoglycan, which is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids. This includes N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) and N-acetyl muramic acid (NAM), along with a few amino acids that form the cross-linking structures between the sugar chains, making option D correct.
