The structural integrity of bacteria is to peptidoglycan as the structural integrity of plant spores is to

Lignin.

Explanation:

The structural integrity of plant spores is lignin that is present in many parts of the plant. This lignin provides hardness to the plant body which help them to stand the plant erect. If this lignin is not present in the plant body the plant will not stand erected. This lignin is present in large amount in the stem of plant body so that's why the lignin provides structural integrity to plant spores

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
