Which Of The Following Statements Accurately Describes Specific Bacterial Cell Walls?

In bacteria with acid-fast cell walls, the carboxylic acid in the walls forms a layer outside a thin layer of hydrophilic polypeptides. Gram-negative bacterial cell walls contain teichoic acids, whereas the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria do not. In gram-negative bacteria, the thin layer of peptidoglycan is surrounded by an outer membrane made of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and proteins. The cell walls of gram-negative bacteria contain many more layers of peptidoglycan than those of gram-positive bacteria.
