Lignin and cellulose provide rigidity to the cell walls of plants. But in most fungi, chitin performs this role. Why is it logic

al that most fungi don't have lignin or cellulose in their cell walls?

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.

Provide an example of how cells balance the redox potential between different cellular components?
crimeas [40]

En la respiración celular, la célula depende totalmente de las reacciones Redox, para ser precisos de la reducción del NAD a NADH y la oxidación de NADH a NAD.

Ahora veamos una situación diferente.

En la fotosíntesis, ocurre la reacción inversa de redox, como se muestra en la siguiente ecuación:

6CO2 + 6H2O + E --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

La energía biológica se almacena y se lanza con la frecuencia por medio de reacciones redox. La fotosíntesis implica la reducción del CO2 en azucares y la oxidación del H2O en oxigeno molecular (O2), mientras que en la respiración es lo inverso, la oxidación de azucares a CO2 y H2O.

Entre los pasos redox de la fotosíntesis, compuestos deducidos del CO2 reducen el NAD lo que crea entonces, la creación gradiente de protones, que conduce a la síntesis del ATP y es mantenida por la oxidación del O2.

En los seres vivos, el término redox se utiliza para describir el equilibrio NAD-NADH y NADP-NADPH.

El estado redox contribuye al equilibrio de los sistemas metabólicos. En el caso de alteraciones en las reacciones redox, puede producirse HIPOXIA, que es el déficit del O2 en la sangre, CHOQUE, que es el mal circulamiento de lal sangre y la SEPSIS.
