The Answer for FTTFFT is wrong

Explanation / Answer

True False  The cell wall of yeast and other fungi is made of peptidoglycan.

False : The cell wall of bacteria is made of peptidoglycan.
True False  Viruses do not have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.

True: Actually viruses do not have any cell or cell wall. Their body is made up of capsid surrounding nucleic acid.
True False  Muramic acid is a modified sugar that is found in bacterial cell walls.

True: Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan, which contains linkages of NAM and NAG (N-acetyl muramic acid and N- acetyl glutamic acid)
True False  The cell wall of plants is made of peptidoglycan.

False : Plant cell wall is made up of cellulose.
True False  Penicillin kills bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.

True: Penicillin kills bacteria by completely inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
True False  Some of the amino acids found in peptidoglycan are not seen in proteins.

Very true : NAM is found only in cell wall of bacteria, nowhere else.
