18. The lipopolysaccharides present in bacterial cell wall has lipid A which is connected to: (A) O-polysaccharide (B) core polysaccharide (C) both with O-polysaccharide and core polysaccharide (D) rhamnose-mannose disaccharide
18. The lipopolysaccharides present in bacterial cell wall has lipid A which is connected to:
(A) O-polysaccharide
(B) core polysaccharide
(C) both with O-polysaccharide and core polysaccharide
(D) rhamnose-mannose disaccharide
Answer
Answer: (B) core polysaccharide
Explanation: Lipid A, a component of lipopolysaccharides in the bacterial cell wall, is connected to the core polysaccharide. The core polysaccharide is connected to the O-polysaccharide, but lipid A itself does not directly link to the O-polysaccharide.
