Chitin
B.
Mucopeptide
AnswerC.
Lipoprotein
D.
Cellulose
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The cell of bacteria is made up of Mucopeptide.Mucopeptide is a peptidoglycan or polymer made of polysaccharides and peptide chains found in the cell walls of bacteria.
In bacteria, the cell wall forms a rigid structure of uniform thickness around the cell and is responsible for the characteristic shape of the cell. Inside the cell wall (or rigid peptidoglycan layer) is the plasma (cytoplasmic) membrane; this is usually closely opposed to the wall layer.
