Question

multiple choice question
in gram-negative bacteria, enzymes that synthesize peptidoglycan are found in ______.

○ the plasma membrane
○ the cytoplasm
○ the outer membrane
○ the periplasmic space

Explanation:

Peptidoglycan synthesis enzymes in Gram - negative bacteria: The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is where the enzymes for peptidoglycan synthesis are located. The cytoplasm is for other metabolic activities, the outer membrane has different functions (like porins), and the periplasmic space is the area between the outer and plasma membranes, not the site of peptidoglycan synthesis enzymes.

Answer:

A. the plasma membrane
