o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Have diverse cell wall compositions

Explanation:

Both bacteria and archaea comes under prokaryotes because they both lack a membrane-bound nucleus. The difference between archaea and bacteria is in their cell wall composition.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan and the archeal cell wall is made up of pseudo-peptidoglycan. In bacteria, peptidoglycan contains N acetyl muramic acid and N acetyl glucosamine unit but in archaea, the N acetyl muramic unit is replaced by some other unit and the linkage of two units is also different in archaea. So the right answer is A.
