Cell wass of Archaeobacteria does not contain_____________________?

Correct answer: A. Peptidoglycan

  • A. Peptidoglycan
  • B. Proteins
  • C. Glycoproteins
  • D. Polysaccharides

Explanation

Archaeobacterial cell walls lack peptidoglycan, the characteristic polymer of ordinary bacterial cell walls; they may instead contain proteins, glycoproteins or other polysaccharides. Students may choose proteins or glycoproteins because archaeal walls can contain these materials, but those are not universally absent.
