What is 1 element which is present in a phospholipid and not present in chitin?
Phosphorus is only present in a phosphorous but not in chitin so your answer is Phosphorus :)
What is made of chitin?
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.
Is chitin a protein?
No, chitin is not a protein. It is a complex carbohydrate that is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.
What uses chitin to move?
Insects use chitin for movement. Chitin is a tough, flexible substance that makes up the exoskeleton of insects, providing support and protection for their bodies. Muscles attached to the inner surface of the exoskeleton allow insects to move by contracting and relaxing.
Is chitin necessary to digest shrimp tails?
Chitin is the hard substances that forms the outside of shrimp (and shrimp tails). So, you would have to digest that in order to digest the shrimp tail, because that's what it's made of. However, it's not the enzyme or other substance needed to digest the chitin.

Is chitin a heteropolysaccharide?

From what language do you get the word chitin?
"chitin" comes from the French word "chitine", meaning the same substance, 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.
Which carbohydrate is found in the exoskeleton of insects and crabs?

Does tree moss contain chitin?
No, tree moss does not contain chitin. Chitin is a component of the exoskeleton of insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. Tree moss belongs to the plant kingdom and does not produce chitin in its structure.
