Question

1. what do scientists call the s-layer in archaea?

proteins or glycoproteins that make up the cell membrane
proteins or glycoproteins that make up the cell wall
proteins or glycoproteins that help make ribosomes
proteins or glycoproteins that play a part in reproduction

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the structure of Archaea. The S - layer in Archaea is a component of the cell wall. The cell membrane of Archaea has a different composition (not the S - layer's main role). Ribosome formation and reproduction are not the functions of the S - layer. The S - layer is made of proteins or glycoproteins that form the cell wall.

Answer:

B. proteins or glycoproteins that make up the cell wall
