How do the cell walls of the Archaea compare to the cell walls found in Bacteria?

OpenStudy (falco276):

Cell walls in Archaea are composed of ester-linked hydrocarbons, while those in Bacteria are made of ether-linked fatty acids. Cell walls in Bacteria are made of peptidoglycan, while those in Archaea are not. Cell walls in Archaea are made of peptidoglycan, while those in Bacteria are made of cellulose or chitin. Cell walls in Archaea are thinner and more flexible than those found in Bacteria.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you heard of "peptidoglycan"? It's a combination of sugars and amino acids, and it makes up the cell walls of bacteria, but NOT archaebacteria.

OpenStudy (falco276):

never heard of it, no. Taking a pretest here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Good thing it's easy to remember.

OpenStudy (falco276):
