Solution

The correct option is C yeast
Fungi, such as yeast, have their cell wall made up of chitin and polysaccharides such as glucans. This is different from the cellulose that we find in plants.

Algal cell wall has cellulose, galactans, mannans and minerals like calcium carbonate.

Plant cell wall has cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, and proteins.

Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycans with disaccharides and amino acids.
