Which of the following cell wall component can effectively defend against lysozyme?(a) Peptidoglycan(b) Pseudomurein(c) Chitin(d) Biogenic opalThis question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.My doubt is from Extracellular Matrix and Cell Interactions in portion Extracellular Matrix and Cell Interactions of Cell Biology

Answer»

Correct answer is (B) Pseudomurein

The best I can explain: Pseudomurein otherwise known as PSEUDOPEPTIDOGLYCAN is ONE of the cell wall components of archaea BACTERIA. They resemble peptidoglycan layer in function and structure but differ in chemical composition. Lysozyme is a DEFENSE mechanism in higher animals and they cannot defend against bacteria containing pseudomurein cell wall.
