Answer:

Chitin is a structural polysaccharide made up of modified glucose chains. Insect exoskeletons, fungus cell walls, and some hard structures in invertebrates and fish all include chitin. Chitin is an important biopolymer found in nature. Fungi, arthropods, and nematodes are the principal producers. In insects, it acts as a scaffold, supporting the epidermis and trachea cuticles, as well as the peritrophic matrices that line the gut epithelium.

Which of the following statements about archaea are true cowan?A) They are prokaryotes.B) They lack peptidoglycan in their cell
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

All the options are true except option D.

Explanation:

Archaea are a group of prokaryotic organisms i.e. they lack a membrane bound nucleus. They are one of the the three domains of life (the other two being bacteria and eukarya). Archeans possess a cell wall like bacteria but it is not composed of peptidoglycan, like bacteria cell wall.

Archeans are generally known to be found in very severe environmental conditions, hence, they are referred to as extremophiles e.g Some are thermoacidophiles i.e. thrive in very hot and acidic environment while others are extreme halophiles i.e. thrive in salty regions. Archeans known as methanogens produce methane gas as a product of metabolism from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

However, the domain archeae was only found to be in existence recently after the domain bacteria, hence, they are not considered to evolve before the domain bacteria.
