Beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin work by inhibiting the formation of this cell structure.
Beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin work by inhibiting the formation of this cell structure. One form of this structure is composed of a material consisting of alternating N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid units, while a small gap found in certain forms of this structure are called plasmodesmata. In bacteria they are composed of * peptidoglycan while in plants they contain an outer layer of pectin and an inner layer of lignin. In fungi they are composed of chitin. For 10 points, name this structure which in plants cells is composed of cellulose and surrounds the cell membrane.
