Vedclass · Answer

(B) Peptidoglycan,also known as murein,is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria,forming the cell wall.Cyanobacteria are a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis and possess a cell wall containing peptidoglycan.Therefore,both bacteria (eubacteria) and cyanobacteria are characterized by the presence of peptidoglycan in their cell walls.Archaebacteria lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls,and eukaryotes (like fungi or plants) have cell walls made of chitin or cellulose,respectively.
