Question

write the chemical equation of cell wall for the following
1. bacteria
2. fungus
3.alga

Answer 1

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids.

Fungi possess cell walls made of the N-acetylglucosamine polymer chitin.

Algal cell walls contain either polysaccharides (such as cellulose (a glucan) or a variety of glycoproteins (Volvocales) or both.
