    Question: Consider the following statements regarding cell wall composition : 1. Bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan. 2. Fungal cell wall is made of cellulose. 3. Animals lack cell wall and have extracellular matrix made up of sugar and proteins. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

    Options:

    2 only
    1 and 2 only
    1 and 3 only
    1, 2 and 3

    🔑Key Points:
    Statement 1
    Bacteria have prokaryotic cell structure, which consists of a cell wall.
    The bacterial cell wall is primarily composed of a substance called peptidoglycan.
    Peptidoglycan is a mesh-like structure consisting of sugar chains cross-linked by short peptides.
    It provides structural support and protection to bacterial cells.
    Statement 2
    Fungal cell walls are primarily composed of a complex carbohydrate called chitin.
    Chitin is a nitrogen-containing polysaccharide that provides strength and rigidity to the fungal cell wall.
    On the other hand, cellulosic cell walls are found in plant cells.
    Statement 3
    Unlike bacteria and fungi, animal cells do not possess a cell wall.
    Instead, animal cells have an extracellular matrix that surrounds them.
    This matrix is composed of various molecules, including proteins (such as collagen and elastin) and sugars (such as glycosaminoglycans).
    The extracellular matrix provides structural support and facilitates cell adhesion.
