Lobsters are crustaceans, and chitin is the hard polysaccharide substance that makes up the outer shell (exoskeleton) of crustaceans. Chitin also makes up the exoskeletons of other arthropods (insects, etc.). It helps to strengthen the cell walls of fungi and the shells of mollusks as well.
Chitin, a polysaccharide made of N-acetylglucosamine molecules. It makes up the exoskeletons of all arthropods, including insects; arachnids, such as Spiders and ticks; and crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp.
Chitin (C8H13O5N)n (pronounced /ˈkaɪtɨn/) is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose, and is found in many places throughout the natural world. It is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulas of mollusks and the beaks of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. Chitin has also proven useful for several medical and industrial purposes. Chitin may be compared to the polysaccharide cellulose and to the protein keratin. Although keratin is a protein, and not a carbohydrate like chitin, keratin and chitin have similar structural functions.
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.
Phosphorus is only present in a phosphorous but not in chitin so your answer is Phosphorus :)
Chitin is a polysaccharide (polymer) of N-acetylglucosamine, which is a derivative of glucose. It's chemical formula is: (C8H13O5N)n ...where "n" is the monomer length of the polymer. Chitin is similar to the polymer cellulose in terms of function in biological organisms (primarily as a structural polymer), but has a completely different chemical structure.
Yes, in fact lobsters do have a substance that is called chitin on their exoskeleton and buterflies contain that substNCE ALSO
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.
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.
yes cause i said so!
Insects and Lobsters
Insects and Lobsters
An arthropod is an organism characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. Examples include spiders, millipedes, lobsters, crabs.
Lobsters eat live food fish, molluscs and other invertebrates.See Related Link.
Hermit crabs are most related to spiders, lobsters and crabs.
Isopods are crustaceans, as are lobsters. Crustaceans are a class in the phylum Arthropoda. Fish, however, are a class in the phylum Chordata, or vertebrates. So, not related to isopods, or lobsters. ^^
Tarantulas, lobsters, and ladybugs belong to the anthropod phylum. Anthropods are animals without vertebrae who are characterized by an outer skeleton made of chitin.
Insects and lobsters. They're both arthropods. Birds are in a completely different phylum.
