Answer

The majority of the fungi are unicellular microorganisms. Three main features of their anatomy are: 1. Their cell wall is rigid, consisting of chitin (complex polysaccharides) and gkucans. 2. Like most eukaryotes, their cell contains DNA in the nucleus, ribosomes, and other cell organelles like mitochondria. 3. Fungi have a Golgi apparatus which performs the functions of lipid transport in the cell and which modifies and packages proteins for secretion.
