what is fungi cell wall made of?
chitin, which is a polysaccharide
The cell walls of fungi are composed of chitin, a complex polysaccharide made up of chains of nitrogen-containing glucose molecules. Chitin provides structural support to the fungal cell, protecting it from osmotic pressure changes and environmental stresses. Unlike plant cell walls, which are composed mainly of cellulose, the chitin in fungal cell walls is not readily digestible by most animals and is therefore resistant to decay. This makes fungal cell walls a crucial component of the fungal ecology and an important determinant of fungal success in the natural world.
