The eukaryotic cells have all of the followings except

  • the 80 S ribosome

A.

peptidoglycan in the cell wall

Peptidoglycan or murein in the cell wall is specific only to prokaryotes. This rigid structure gives the cell shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane. Peptidoglycan is a huge polymer of disaccharides (glycan) cross-linked by short chains of identical amino acids (peptides) monomers. The backbone of the peptidoglycan molecule is composed of two derivatives of glucose: N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM).
