Which of the following organisms have Chitin as a major structural component of their cell wall________________?
Correct answer: D. Fungi
- A. Prokaryotae
- B. Protoctista
- C. Plantae
- D. Fungi
Explanation
Fungi have cell walls made mainly of chitin, a nitrogen-containing polysaccharide that also occurs in arthropod exoskeletons. Plant cell walls are mainly cellulose, so students may choose Plantae by confusing chitin with the common structural material of plants.
