What makes chitin edible?
Chitin is a polysaccharide (a polymer of certain types of sugar), and, in this case, is often used to form the exoskeletons of arthropods (such as insects and crustaceans). However, as with cellulose, humans do not possess the enzymes necessary to breakdown these polysaccharides. Thus, chitin and cellulose cannot be broken down by humans.
Humans cannot digest cellulose because they?
Because they do not have the digestive enzyme to break down cellulose.

Cellulose
Polysaccharide that makes up cell walls of fungi?
