    What best describes the chemical make up of the peptidoglycan comments of bacterial cell walls

    Fibers composed of repeating sugar units crosslinked with short peptide chains

  • 22

    Why does the bacterial cell need such a strong cell wall? (be specific)

    To prevent osmotic water pressure from bursting the cell like an overfilled water balloon
