False, there are some fungi-like organisms with cellulose, but true fungi do not have cellulose in the cell walls.

How do the cell walls of fungi differ from the cell walls of plants?
They differ because fungus cell walls are made of chitin whereas plant's cell walls are made of cellulose
Does fungi have cell walls that contain chitin?
No, it is important to differentiate between plants and fungi. Plant cell walls contain a carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. Fungi cell walls contain a different type of carbohydrate polymer called chitin. Chitin is harder than cellulose.
Which kingdom contains multicellular autotrophs that have cell walls made of cellulose and contain chloroplasts?
This is the kingdom Plantae. Plants have cell walls mainly composed of cellulose. The walls also contain hemicellulose and pectin.
What are the main respective constituents of cell walls in bacteria protists fungi and plants?
Plant cell walls are composed of cellulose, while fungal cells walls are composed of chitin. Both are long-chain starches comprised of many glucose subunits.
How are the cell wall of protista and plants similar?
They contain cellulose which makes them more sturdy.
In which ways are fungi different from plants?
Some Fungi can be multicellular and others can be unicellular. Their cell walls are chitin and fungi are also heterotrophs. Plants are only multicellular. Their cell walls are of cellulose and plants are autotrophs.

They differ because fungus cell walls are made of chitin whereas plant's cell walls are made of cellulose
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.

How are fungi plants different from plants?
Fungi do not use photosynthesis. Also, fungi don't have leaves and roots. Finally, unlike plants, the cell walls of fungi contain chitin.Fungi and plants are in the same domain (Eukarya), but are separate kingdoms. Plants are autotrophs (they make their own food through chemosynthesis or photosynthesis), while fungi are heterotrophs (more specifically they are either parasites or saprobes). Other differences are also present in structure (for example, fungi cell walls are made of chitin while plants' cell walls are made of cellulose), specialization, etc.
All organisms whose cells are bounded by cell walls are called?
Plants, algae, fungi and bacteria all have cell walls. Animal cells do not have cell walls. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. In true fungi they are usually made of chitin, in algae they are made of a polysaccharide (like cellulose) or a glycoprotein, and bacteria have a peptidoglycan wall.
How are the cell wall of protista and plants similar?
They contain cellulose which makes them more sturdy.
Which is these organisms has the most complex cell wall?
Plants and fungi have cell walls. Note that while plants have cell walls made of cellulose, fungi cell walls are made of chitin.
Polysaccharide that makes up cell walls of fungi?
Cellulose
Why do scientists not consider plants to be fungi?
Plants are made out of cells with cell walls constructed of cellulose, the fiberous pieces in plants. Fungi, in contrast, have cells walls constructed of chitin. Fungi are also heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients from other living organisms. Plants are autotrophs, creating nutrients from photosynthesis. Fungi don't have leaves. Plants do. In general, fungi are fundamentally different than plants. For that reason, scientists categorize them differently.
