archaea? see section 26.1 (page 520) . only bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. only bacteria contain a circular chromosome. only bacteria are unicellular. only bacteria lack a membrane-bound nucleus to house the genetic material?
The correct answer is that only bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls.
Unlike bacteria, the archaea cells walls do not comprise of peptidoglycan. They exhibit distinct membrane lipid bonding in comparison to Eucarya and Bacteria.
The archaebacterial cell walls comprise different proteins and polysaccharides with no peptidoglycan. Various archaebacteria possess cell walls formed of the polysaccharide pseudomurein.
Because two inedible insects share common colors they may be warning a predator and this type of defense is called Mullerian mimicry because two or more species are presenting themselves as harmful.
