Explanation

The cell wall of prokaryotes is primarily reinforced by peptidoglycan, also called Murein, which gives it strength and rigidity. Cellulose and chitin are structural components found in plants and fungi, respectively, while inorganic salts, silica, waxes, and lignin contribute to other types of biological structures.
