Q4 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Botany

Which one of the following is wrong for fungi?

  • A
    They are eukaryotic
  • Correct answer
    B
    All fungi possess a purely cellulosic cell wall
  • C
    They are heterotrophic
  • D
    They are both unicellular and multicellular

Solution

The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin and polysaccharides. Chitin is the most abundant amino polysaccharide, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine is a derivative of glucose occurring in nature, and is the building material that gives strength to the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and the cell walls of fungi.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
