The cell in the image has one outer layer that protects it.


The cell in the image is prokaryotic.

Answer 1

Part A: fungi

Part B: The cell in the image has two outer layers with one made of chitin.

Explanation: Fungal cells are eukaryotic and are bounded by a cell membrane plus an outer cell wall composed mainly of chitin, so the two-layer outer structure with chitin best supports fungi.
