A cell-wall that is composed of sugar and amino acids is called:
Correct answer: A. Murein
- A. Murein
- B. Chitin
- C. Lignin
- D. Pectin
Explanation
Peptidoglycan or murein is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like peptidoglycan layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall. Hence the correct answer would be A.
