The cell wall of bacteria (Kingdom MONERA) is made primarily of:
APeptidoglycan (also called murein)
BChitin (a polysaccharide, like crab shell)
CCellulose (the plant cell wall component)
DPseudopeptidoglycan (in archaea only)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Peptidoglycan (also called murein)
True bacteria (Eubacteria) have cell walls of PEPTIDOGLYCAN (murein). Archaea have pseudopeptidoglycan or other compositions. Fungi have chitin. Plants have cellulose. Animals have no cell wall.
