Chitin is found in the kingdoms Animalia (animals) and Fungi.
In the animal kingdom, it is found in arthropods (crustaceans, insects, etc.), mollusks, and fish (scales of certain species of fish, such as carp). It is also found in the cell walls of fungi.
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.
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.
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.

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.
No, it doesn't. Chitin is an sort of skeleton found on the outside of such animals as 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.
No, it is important to differentiate between plants and fungi. Plant cell walls contain a carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. Fungi cell walls contain a different type of carbohydrate polymer called chitin. Chitin is harder than cellulose.
Chitin.
Yes, in fact lobsters do have a substance that is called chitin on their exoskeleton and buterflies contain that substNCE ALSO
Kingdom Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, which is a unique characteristic not found in other kingdoms. Additionally, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain their nutrients through absorption, unlike autotrophic organisms found in other kingdoms.
The four kingdoms that contain eukaryotic organisms are plantae, animalia, fungi and protista.
Yes, fungi cell walls contain chitin, a structural polysaccharide that provides rigidity and support to the cell wall. Chitin is also found in the exoskeletons of arthropods like insects and crustaceans.
