Another feature of fungi is the presence of chitin in their cell walls. This is a long carbohydrate polymer that also occurs in the exoskeletons of insects, spiders, and other arthropods. The chitin adds rigidity and structural support to the thin cells of the fungus, and makes fresh mushrooms crisp

Answer 2

Answer:-

About Chitin :-

This is a long carbohydrate polymer that also occurs in the exoskeletons of insects, spiders, and other arthropods. The chitin adds rigidity and structural support to the thin cells of the fungus, and makes fresh mushrooms crisp.

Cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin because of following reasons :-

• This is a carbohydrate polymer that is a long chain. .

• The glucans and glycoproteins are all linked together.

• This makes the thin cell walls of the fungi rigid. 

• The polymers are mainly found in the unbranched chain of beta - (1, 4) - linked – N – Acetylglucosamine in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.

• Or there are poly- beta – (1, 4) – N – Acetylglucosamine (chitosan) in the Zygmocota.

• They both are synthesized and extruded at the plasma membrane.
