Cell wall structure of a cell of unknown origin was studied and was found to contain polysaccharide chain linked with short chains of amino acid. What do you think it can be?
Correct answer: A. Bacteria
- A. Bacteria
- B. Fungi Cell
- C. Algae
- D. Cortex cells
Explanation
The description of a cell wall containing polysaccharide chains linked with short chains of amino acids is characteristic of bacterial cell walls. Bacterial cell walls are primarily composed of peptidoglycan, which is a complex molecule consisting of alternating sugars and short amino acid chains. The peptidoglycan provides structural integrity to bacterial cells and is a defining feature of bacterial cell walls.
