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.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

hypertrophy

Explanation:

Hypertrophy is the excess enlargement of a tissue. When a tissue or organ overgrow without any cell division, it is called hypertrophy. For example, muscular hypertrophy occurs when there is a very forceful and repetitive muscular activity as it occurs during strength training. It triggers enlargement of muscle fibers as myofibrils, mitochondria, and other organelles are produced more in number to support the excess workload of the muscles.
