Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Main component of cell wall of fungus is chitin.

● Extra information about chitin -

• Chitin is long-chain natural polymer derived from glucose.
• Chitin is a polysaccharide formed by beta-1,4 glycosidic linkage between N-acetyl glucosamine.
• It's primary component of exoskeleton of arthropods & cell walls of fungi.
• It protects these insect/fungi from external damage.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks for asking

Answer 2

Chitin (acetylglucosamine polymers), is the outer layer of the fungal cells

Explanation:

• The other component of the cell wall of fungal cells are  Glucans, pigment,  Polysaccharides, Mucopolysaccharides, and waxes.  
• Chitin is the most significant component of the cell wall which is located nearest  to the plasma membrane.
• Endotoxin like substances of glucans stimulates the immune system.
• Melanin is a pigment that protect the wall from UV radiation.
• This major constituents of fungal cell wall ensures the rigidity and shape of the cell along with metabolism and host defense mechanism.
