Answer:

Fungi most fungi produce cellulases.

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms, however unlike other eukaryotes. Their cell wall is made up of chitin instead of cellulose.

Chitin is a fibrous polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell wall of fungi.  where as cellulose is also a polysaccharide which is an important structural component of plant cell wall.

Since fungi are saprophytic they produce enzymes such as cellulases that will help in breakdown of cellulose for food.

They cannot have a cell wall made of cellulose.

suter [353]
The answer is confirmation bias. This is the tendency to look for evidence that will confirm ones hypothesis and  ignoring anything else that does not lead to the hypothesis. In this situation confirmation bias is evident due to the fact that you look for anything that confirms your hypothesis and ignore anything else that does not point to drug abuse.
