Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The option that is not a characteristic of fungi is B) all break down food internally. Fungi do not break down their food internally, but do so externally.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fungal cell wall is uniquely composed of mannoproteins, chitins, and -and -linked glucans and serves many functions, including providing cell rigidity and shape, metabolism, ion exchange, and interactions with host defense mechanisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -In fungi, cell wall contains chitin or cellulose along with other polysaccharides, proteins and Iipids. Only in some fungi, e.g. oomycetes have a purely cellulosic cell wall. Therefore all fungi do not have a purely cellulosic cell wall. All the other options are true.
