Chitin is an example of what?
chitin is an example of a carbohydrate
What is a cell wall composed of that is also found in the exoskeleton of insects?
Cell walls of fungi are similar to exoskeletons of insects because they are both made up of chitin. Chitin is made up of complex carbohydrates.
Does a snail have chitin?
Yes. The shells of snails, as well as other mollusks, are strengthened by chitin.
How does glycogen differ from chitin?
chitin is much harder and is used to build things such as your fingernails
What is chitin in your stomach?
There is no chitin naturally present in the human stomach, as chitin grows in fungi and arthropods.However, when such organisms are eaten, the gastric juices in the stomach naturally break down chitin. Also, chitinases (enzymes) can break down chitin.There is no chitin naturally present in the human stomach, as chitin grows in fungi and arthropods.However, when such organisms are eaten, the gastric juices in the stomach naturally break down chitin.

Is chitin a homo-polymer?
Chitin does not contain polymers, but is, rather, a polymer itself. Chitin is a polysaccharide. So, it is a polymer of saccharide subunits. In this case, chitin has many N-acetyl-D-glucosamine subunits.
