Solution
The correct option is A
Mucor
Cell wall is the outer rigid protective covering of plant cells,
fungal cells and some prokaryotes which represents a specialised form
of extracellular matrix closely associated with external cell
surface. It consists of two parts, gel like matrix and fine fibrils
called as microfibrils. Microfibrils are made up of cellulose in
plant cells and chitin or fungal cellulose in fungi. Mucor
is a fungus, hence, has a well developed cell wall. Euglena
and Amoeba are protists while Mycoplasma is a prokaryote. All
of these organisms lack the cell wall. So, the correct answer is '
Mucor'.
