The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Peptidoglycan**: Peptidoglycan is a polymer that forms a mesh-like structure outside the plasma membrane of bacteria, providing structural support and shape to the cell wall. 2. **Identifying the Groups**: The question asks which group has peptidoglycan in its cell wall. We need to analyze the options given: - **Archaebacteria and Eukaryotes**: Archaebacteria do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls; they have different types of glycoproteins. Eukaryotes, such as plants and fungi, have cell walls made of cellulose and chitin, respectively. - **Eubacteria and Unicellular Eukaryotes**: Eubacteria (true bacteria) have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, but unicellular eukaryotes (like protists) do not typically have peptidoglycan. - **Bacteria and Cyanobacteria**: Both bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. - **Monera and Protista**: Monera includes prokaryotes, which have peptidoglycan, but protista (which includes eukaryotes) do not have peptidoglycan. 3. **Conclusion**: The only correct option that includes organisms with peptidoglycan in their cell walls is **Bacteria and Cyanobacteria**. ### Final Answer: Peptidoglycan is a characteristic constituent of the cell wall of **Bacteria and Cyanobacteria**. ---
