Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A)Yeasts and moulds are multicellular fungi.
B)All fungi have cell walls.
C)Fungi cannot tolerate extremes of pH and osmotic pressure.
D)Fungi can use carbon dioxide as a carbon source.
E)Fungi only grow on decomposing vegetation.

Accepted Answer

All fungi have cell walls made of chitin or cellulose. Yeasts are unicellular fungi, while moulds are multicellular fungi. Fungi can tolerate a wide range of pH and osmotic pressure, and they can use many different carbon sources, including carbon dioxide. While many fungi do grow on decomposing vegetation, they can also grow on a variety of other substrates.
