chitin, which is N-acetylglucosamine
Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as insects, crabs, and spiders. It provides toughness and support to these organisms.
Among living things, the most common among the polysaccharide structural carbohydrates is cellulose. Cellulose is the monosaccharide that composes the hard bodies of crabs and insects.
Chitin is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans) and in the cell walls of fungi. It provides structural support and protection.
Arthropods are animals belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp), and millipedes among others. They are characterized by their segmented bodies, jointed limbs, and exoskeleton made of chitin.
Mudskippers are carnivores. They eat small crabs, worms and insects.
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters, and insects. It is a structural molecule that provides strength and protection to these arthropods. Chitin is composed of N-acetylglucosamine units and is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose.
Insects have six legs, and crabs have ten.

Structural polysaccharides are the polysaccharides that are found to form the structure of an organism. Eg. Cellulose - in plants Chitin - found in outer skeleton of insects and crabs Lignin - wood
Crabs,Spiders,and Insects
Insects
Insects have exoskeletons for both protection and structural support.
No. Crabs are arthropods, but not insects.
