A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/20

Explanation
Eukaryotic cell walls lack peptidoglycan, but type unspecified Steps:
- Penicillin targets peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls, inhibiting synthesis and causing harm.
- Species X, a eukaryote, produces penicillin unharmed, indicating its cell walls differ chemically from bacterial ones.
- Thus, species X cell walls cannot be peptidoglycan (statement 1 false).
- Eukaryotes may have cellulose (algae/plants) or chitin (fungi) walls, but no evidence specifies which for this single-celled species.
- No statements 1–3 can be definitively concluded.
Why no options are correct:
- Information excludes peptidoglycan but provides no details on cellulose or chitin composition.
Final answer: Not enough information.
