b) all fungi posses a purely cellulosic wall.
This reason for the point is quite clear, as, fungi don't have a cellulosic wall they instead have a alternative (than for plants) called as chitin or acetylglucosamine polymer, most of the wall is primarily composed of this layer of chitin including chitin there are, glucans (alpha- and beta- linked glucans in particular), polysaccharides along with mucopolysaccharides, some waxes and pigmentation, mannoproteins, etc. The cell wall provides fungi with a unique structure including a hard cell rigidity and also allows it to maintain a particular shape, metabolism is also a key part of the cell wall, other are, exchange of essential mineral ions, interactions with the environment for host defence and offense mechanisms such as realising toxic chemicals to provide protection and escape from it
