Explanation:

Peptidoglycan is a major component of the bacterial cell - wall. Actively dividing bacteria like E. coli typically have peptidoglycan that constitutes about 1% of total cell weight. Periplasm is a space, phospholipid is a general lipid type, and polyamine is not a major component in this context.
