What are some examples of chitin?

Answer 1

Chitin is a long-chain polymer that is a derivative of glucose. It can be found in the cell walls of fungi, exoskeletons of crustaceans and insects, and the internal shells of squids and octopuses.

Answer 2

you can find fungus on forestry floors and toadstools where fairies like to sit. crushing a toadstool means the fairies must pay for new upholstery and furniture and decor. you may squash a fairy although they are weary of humans. so remember never kick over a mushroom or toadstool again ok!

Answer 3

Chitin is a structural polysaccharide (polymer of sugar [saccharide], monomers) that is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (insects, crabs, lobsters, shrimp), mollusks, and in the beaks of cephalopods (squid and octopus). It is also found in the cell walls of fungi and in the scales of certain species of fish (such as carp).

Therefore, it is found in the kingdoms Animalia and Fungi.

Answer 4

Chitin

A polysaccharide found abundantly in nature. Chitin forms the basis of the hard shells of crustaceans, such as the crab, lobster, and shrimp. The exoskeleton of insects is also chitinous, and the cell walls of certain fungi contain this substance.
