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.

Oksana_A [137]

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesize very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.
