A bacterial cell wall is made up of ______________.

A) N-acetyl glucosamine
B) N-acetyl muramic acid
C) N-acetyl amino acids
D) N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl muramic acid, and amino acids
E) N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl muramic acid, and amino acids and acidic acids

N-acetyl Muramic Acid

A component of the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan, crucial for maintaining the cell's structural integrity.

N-acetyl Glucosamine

An amino sugar and a precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids, involved in the formation of the exoskeletons of crustaceans and insects.

Amino Acids

Biological molecules that form the foundation of proteins, acting as the basic units essential for life.
