NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The statement “Fungal cells have cell walls made of chitin” is true. Fungi are made of eukaryotic cells that are surrounded by a cell wall, like those of plants. However, while plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, fungi have a cell wall made of the tough polysaccharide chitin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell Walls in Fungi-Like Protists Fungi-like protists (AKA molds) also have cell walls containing cellulose. In this way, they are more similar to other protist species than true fungi, whose cell walls contain chitin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most true fungi have a cell wall consisting largely of chitin and other polysaccharides. True fungi do not have cellulose in their cell walls.

Detailed explanation-4: -The exact composition of the cell wall varies with the species of protist. Some protists have cell walls that are made of cellulose, but others have cell walls made of sugars other than glucose, modified sugars, or proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant-and fungi-like protists have cell walls that are similar to plants. Other protists have a unique cell wall that is different from cell walls seen in other eukaryotic kingdoms.
