Answer 1

The correct option is C All members have cell wall made up of cellulose

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms which include both unicellular forms like yeast and multicellular forms like mushrooms.

Fungi are heterotrophs that cannot make their own food but obtain their food from their environment, generally from the dead and decaying organisms.

The fungal body made up of several white thread-like structures called "hyphae" which get grouped together as "mycelia".

The cell wall of majority of fungi is mainly made up of chitin which is a nitrogen containing polysaccharide. Other wall components include glucans, glycoproteins and pigments.
