Question
Two alternating amino sugars, namely N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid  (NAM)  make up the 
Options:
A .  The peptidoglycan cell wall of the bacteria
B .  The capsule of the bacteria
C .  The flagella of the bacteria
D .  The sex pili of the bacteria
Answer: Option A
:
A
Acell wallis a layer located outside thecell membranefound in plants, fungi,bacteria, algae, and archaea. A peptidoglycancell wallcomposed of disaccharides and amino acids givesbacteriastructural support.The peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall is a crystal lattice structure formed from linear chains of two alternating amino sugars, namely N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM).
