Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gram-positive bacteria have a peptidoglycan layer that contains lipoteichoic acid, which provides structural support and influences the uptake of charged biomolecules. Starch is not a component of the peptidoglycan layer. Lipopolysaccharides are found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the extracellular matrix in animals and is not present in bacterial peptidoglycan layers.
