One of the major components of cell wall of most fungi is

  1. cellulose
  2. hemicellulose
  3. chitin
  4. peptidoglycan.

Answer

(3) chitin

Solution

As per NCERT, the cell walls of fungi are composed of chitin and polysaccharides.

∵ Cellulose and hemicellulose form plant cell walls and peptidoglycan forms bacterial cell walls, these are not the main wall material of fungi.
