Answer:

cell wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Mycoplasma differs from other bacteria because it does not have a cell wall (The rest of the bacteria have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane that gives them stiffness).

The absence of the cell wall gives them the ability to not be sensitive to antibiotics that act by blocking the synthesis of the cell wall, as is the case with penicillin.
