To summarize: The structures observed in bacterial cells and their molecular makeup.
Introduction: Eukaryotes, Archaea, and eubacteria are the three domains of life. Eukaryotes consists of the majority of organisms namely, animals, plants, and

Explanation of Solution
The bacterial cells composed of a peptidoglycan layer, which is an outer layer present outside the plasma membrane. In gram-negative bacteria, the peptidoglycan is thinner, while in gram-positive bacteria, it is thicker. The peptidoglycan is made up of N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) alternating residues that confer protection to the cell. It also includes locomotory organs (like flagella), receptors, and virulence factors. A lipid bilayer is also present in the bacterial cell.
The molecular makeup of bacterial cell is well-defined by their macromolecules. The molecular makeup of bacterial cell includes macromolecules like proteins, phospholipids, polysaccharides, lipids, and
