What molecule is used to make cell walls?
Cell walls are primarily made of cellulose in plants, which is a polysaccharide consisting of long chains of glucose molecules. In fungi, the cell wall is mainly composed of chitin, while in bacteria, peptidoglycan is the key structural component. Each of these molecules provides rigidity and structural support to the respective cell walls.
5 examples of fungi?
1) Fungi and plants are both multicellular. 2) Cells of fungi and plants both contain cell walls, although fungi cell walls are usually made from chitin, and plant cell walls are usually made from cellulose. 3) Both are made from eukaryotic cells. 4) Both can be parasitic, although it is a rarity in the Plantae kingdom. 5) Both contain single 'extentions' on the organism. In fungi this is hyphae, in plants these are roots/shoots. Interestingly, fungi are more closely related to animals... Sorry about concentrating on cellular distinctions.

What is chitin in microorganisms?
Many organisms, including bacteria, are suited for breaking down chitin. However, in terms of how it is used in microorganisms, it is a strong polysaccharide material that is used to strength the cell walls of microorganisms (such as algae, fungi, etc.).
What is block work in civil engineerig?
Block work is used to construct walls in Buildings of residential and commercial
How can interlocking blocks be used to construct sturdy and durable walls?
Interlocking blocks can be used to construct sturdy and durable walls by fitting together tightly without the need for mortar. This creates a strong and stable structure that can withstand external forces and provide long-lasting support.
Is chitin what your nose is made of?
No, the nose (flexible part, anyway) is made of cartilage, which is further composed of collagen. Chitin is a polysaccharide that is used to strengthen the exoskeletons of insects, the cell walls of fungi, and so forth.
What materials are used to construct a sarcophagus?
usually stone that they would chip off cave walls and eventually carve
What is unique about the cell wall compared to the cell membrane?
While cell membranes might be around every cell, cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells. Cellulose forms protective framework for a plant cell to survive. It is a structural carbohydrate used in protection and support. They help a plant keep its shape. There are other sorts of cell walls. Many but not all bacteria also have a structure called a cell wall. Fungi and some protozoa also have cell walls. These wall are made of proteins. They serve the same purpose of protecting and maintaining structure. The cell membrane is easy to break and it can be unstable.
Which characteristic would be used to classify these organisms as fungi?
Fungi grows on organic matter where oxygen adn moisture is avilable. Light is not required for the growth of fungi. The main characterstic of fungi is that they are heterotrophic. The main plant body is gametophytic haploid and dominant and may be unicellular or filamentous. 80% of plants are in a symbiotic relationship with fungi
Why are dandelions and mushrooms classified in separate groups?
Fungi have cell walls composed of chitin instead of cellulose (usually). Fungi also lack chloroplasts and are therefore unable to perform photosynthesis. Fungi use the AAA pathway to synthesize lysine instead of the DAP pathway used by plants. Plants have multiple flagella on their motile spores while fungi only have one. The closing evidence are molecular phylogenies, which pretty consistently group fungi with animals on the tree of life.
How is a fungus different from a plant?
A fungus is different from a plant because a fungus doesn't have the ability to make its own food by photosynthesis. It also has walls made of chitin (also found in insects), not cellulose as in plants. Fungi also reproduce by making spores that can be carried away by wind, water, or insects. There are many types of fungi, ranging from single celled yeasts, to large mushrooms. Some fungi can cause disease in people, but most are beneficial because they are decomposers, returning the nutrients locked up in dead plants back to the soil. Also, yeasts are used to make bread, beer, and wine.
Is chitin harmful to humans?
Chitin is not harmful to humans. It is a natural substance found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, as well as in the cell walls of fungi. It is commonly used in various industries, such as food and pharmaceuticals, and is generally considered safe for human consumption.
