Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptidoglycan is composed of alternating N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid cross-linked by short peptide fragments. It is found in the cell wall of most bacteria and provides structural support and protection. Mycolic acid is a lipid found in the cell walls of certain bacteria, outer membrane protein is a protein found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, and lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks down peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
