    1. The definitive identification key is the presence of a cell wall composed specifically of chitin, combined with an absorptive heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Although most fungi are multicellular, unicellular organisms like yeast are classified under Fungi because they absorb soluble nutrients from decaying matter and possess chitinous cell walls rather than cellulose or peptidoglycan.
