Answer:
Bacteria are protected by a cell envelope composed of a rigid cell wall and a plasma membrane. The cell wall composed of disaccharides and amino acids gives bacteria structural support. Almost all bacteria possess a lipoproteinaceous plasma membrane that performs many functions, including transport, biosynthesis, and energy transduction.
The plasma membrane of archaebacteria, as well as eubacteria, have the same type of lipids but differ in their bonding. Archea membrane lipids have ether bonds whereas bacteria have ester-linkages. Thus both the statements given above are correct.
