Answer:

Peptidoglycan and chitin.

Explanation:

Bacteria and yeast differ from each due to the different chemical composition of their cell wall.

Chitin: chitin is a large structural polysaccharide that is derived from chains of modified glucose. It is the primary components of cell wall in fungi such as yeast. Chitin is a minor component in the yeast cell wall, it accounts for only 1-2% of the cell wall dry mass. Chitin contributes to the mechanical strength of the cell wall.

Peptidoglycan: Peptidoglycan also known as murein is a polymer that makes up a the cell wall of a bacterium. It is composed of sugars and amino acids. A bacteria is a unicellular organism, therefore Peptidoglycan gives strength to the outer structure of the organism.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Refined carbohydrates tend to be much in lower in fiber and vitamins than whole grains. These are complex carbs that have had fiber removed from them leaving reproduce simple carbohydrates. These are rapidly absorbed causing a blood sugar increase, which is followed by some crash. During the milling process, the germ and bran is peeled and the grain's endosperm is crushed. The final product becomes easier to gnaw and digest. The main reason manufacturers process the grain is to lengthen shell life.
