The right answer is B. peptidoglycans.

Peptidoglycan (or murine, or mucocomplex, or mucopeptide) is a component of the bacterial wall maintaining the shape of cells and providing mechanical protection against osmotic pressure. It forms a thin layer in Gram-negative bacteria and a thick layer in Gram-positive bacteria.

It consists of a carbohydrate moiety (= polysaccharide) and a peptide moiety. The polysaccharide is a glycosaminopeptide polymer wherein N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetyl-muramic acid (NAM) are linked by beta (1-4) osidic bonds. This bond can be cut off by lysozyme. NAM is a specific compound of bacterial walls. Two polysaccharides are linked by peptide bridges at the level of the NAM, formed by different amino acids: D-alanine, L-alanine, glutamic acid, L-lysine, diaminopimelic acid (lysine analog). Amino acids D are specific for the bacterial wall, they are never found elsewhere.

How is form used in classification?
Yuri [45]
Form classification is the classification of organisms based on their morphology, which does not necessarily reflect their biological relationships. Form classification, generally restricted to palaeontology, reflects uncertainty; the goal of science is to move "form taxa" to biological taxa whose affinity is known.

<span>An easy way to calculate this function without using the SUM function itself is to simply place the two cell names together, separated by the plus sign. In this case, the syntax would simply read "=B7+E7", with dollar signs entered in as needed if the cell references need to be made absolute.</span>
