Answer: Gram Negative bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell wall of Gram negative bacteria is thin and is composed of peptidoglycan.

The cell envelope has 3 layers including, a unique outer membrane, a thin peptidoglycan layer, and the cytoplasmic membrane.

An outer membrane of the cell wall is a bilayer structure consisting of phospholipids molecules, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipoproteins and surface.
