    Question: The cell wall of Oomycetes is composed of—

    Options:

    Chitin
    Peptidoglycan
    Lipoprotein
    Cellulose

    ✅Explanation
    -Oomycetes, also known as water molds, are a group of fungus-like organisms Despite their superficial resemblance to fungi, they belong to a distinct lineage. One key difference lies in their cell wall composition.
    -The cell walls of Oomycetes are primarily composed of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that provides structural support and rigidity. This is in contrast to true fungi, which have cell walls predominantly made of chitin.

    📌Other Options Explanations:
    -Option A: Chitin: Chitin is the main structural component of fungal cell walls, but not of Oomycetes.
    -Option B: Peptidoglycan: Peptidoglycan is a major component of bacterial cell walls, not found in Oomycetes or fungi.
    -Option C: Lipoprotein: Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins found in various cell structures, including membranes, but they are not the primary structural component of Oomycete cell walls.
