The correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: Proteins account for 5 – 10 % of the cell wall. The cell wall proteins are represented by structural proteins, enzymes, and surface receptor proteins. Structural proteins involve mannoproteins. Enzymes are also divided into two groups. Lectin-like proteins represent the surface receptor proteins.
