Which have cell wall in reproductive phase but absent in vegetative phase

Answer» The rigid layers of\xa0fungal cell walls contain\xa0complex polysaccharides called chitin and glucans. Chitin, also found in the exoskeleton of insects, gives structural strength to the\xa0cell walls\xa0of\xa0fungi. The\xa0wall\xa0protects the\xa0cell\xa0from desiccation and predators. ... Most members of the kingdom\xa0Fungi\xa0are nonmotile.\xa0Examples of bacteria\xa0that\xa0lack a\xa0cell wall are\xa0Mycoplasma and L-form bacteria. Mycoplasma\xa0is\xa0an important cause of disease in animals and\xa0is not affected\xa0by antibiotic treatments\xa0that\xa0target\xa0cell wall\xa0synthesis. Mycoplasma acquire cholesterol from the environment and form sterols to build their cytoplasmic\xa0membrane.
