Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are heterotrophic organisms; they do not photosynthesize. Most fungi are multicellular, but some grow as single cells. Fungi are characterized by their cell walls, which contain chitin. Chitin is a tough polysaccharide that makes up the exoskeleton of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chitin, a (1, 4)-linked homopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is a simple polysaccharide that is represented in the cell walls of all fungi studied to date [1, 2].

Detailed explanation-3: -a. Fungi are eukaryotes that are either single celled or multicellular. They are heterotrophs, and important decomposers. They have cell walls that are made of chitin.
