Sex Structure
Note the numerical superiority of males at birth, having the greatest length of the bottom bar (0-4 years). The sex ratio is the number of males multiplied by 100, divided by the number of females. There are always more male births (about 105 boys for every 100 girls). This numerical superiority at birth and growth through immigration indicates the time when the strength of both sexes are matched (in middle age). Finally, there is a predominantly

Peptidoglycan: Chemical Composition
The repeating unit is:
- N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)
- N-acetylmuramic (NAM)
These are joined together by β (1→4) bonds. The various disaccharide units are joined together by β (1→4) bonds. This link may be broken by lysozyme. The tetrapeptide chain running from the -COOH group of each NAM lactyl often contains:
- L-alanine
- D-glutamic acid
- m-DAP
- D-alanine
