What has cell walls that contain chitin but do not contain chloroplasts or produce their own food?
Fungi
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.

The exoskeleton of an arthropod is?
composed of chitin
Do fish scales contain chitin?
Chitin
The cell walls of fungi are made from what?
The cell walls of fungi are made up of the glucosamine polymer chitin. The chitin of the fungal cell walls contain nitrogen.
From what language do you get the word chitin?
"chitin" comes from the French word "chitine", meaning the same substance, chitin.
What are two characteristics of chitin that make it a good material for exoskeleton and wings?
Chitin has two notably good qualities as an exoskeleton. Since it is a type of protein, it is relatively easy for arthropods to make. And it is quite tough. Its properties are similar to the protein keratin, which is used by mammals for making hair, nails, and horns.
