Which group of organisms is characterized by having cell walls with peptidoglycan?

  1. Archaebacteria

  2. Bacteria

  3. Fungi

  4. Protista

The correct answer is: Archaebacteria

This question is asking about the group of organisms that have cell walls with peptidoglycan. This carbohydrate structure is unique to bacteria and makes up the protective barrier of their cells. For this reason, the correct answer is Bacteria. The other options, Archaebacteria, Fungi, and Protista, do not have cell walls made of peptidoglycan. Archaebacteria have unique cell walls made of other materials, while Fungi and Protista have cell walls made of chitin and cellulose respectively. Therefore, they are not characterized by having cell walls with peptidoglycan.
