Question options: They both have identical cell walls. They both have prokaryotic cells. They both thrive in extreme environments. They both are able to live only under anaerobic conditions.
Which of the following statement about 3 bacterial cell wall is incorrect Peptidoglycan consists of long polysaccharide chainscross-linked with amino acids. The cell wall establishes a bacterium as a coccus, bacillus, or spirillum. The cell wall is relatively nonpermeable and restricts the passage of sugars and amino acids.
