True.

Penicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It specifically targets the enzyme responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycans, which are essential components of the bacterial cell wall. Without a properly formed cell wall, bacteria cannot maintain their structural integrity and ultimately die.
