Fungal Cell Walls

The rigid structure surrounding the cell membrane of fungi, composed primarily of chitin and glucans.

Chitin

A long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose, and is a primary component of cell walls in fungi and exoskeletons of arthropods.

Cellulose

A complex carbohydrate that is composed of glucose units, forming the primary structural component of plant cell walls.
