Which one of the following is wrong for fungi?

  1. They are eukaryotic.
  2. All fungi possess a purely cellulosic cell wall.
  3. They are heterotrophic.
  4. They are both unicellular and multicellular.

Answer

(2) All fungi possess a purely cellulosic cell wall.

Solution

As per NCERT, fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms; most are multicellular (filamentous) while yeast is unicellular.

∵ The cell wall of fungi is composed of chitin and polysaccharides, not pure cellulose,

∴ the statement 'All fungi possess a purely cellulosic cell wall' is wrong.

Answer: (2)
