What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the polysaccharide that is found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods?
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.
Which carbohydrate is found in the exoskeleton of insects and crabs?
chitin
What is a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fungi and in insect exoskeletons called?
Chitin.
The walls of fungi are reinforced with?
chitin, a structural polymer similar to the one found in the exoskeletons of insects, are reinforced with beta-glucans and chitin.
Does an octopus contain chitin?
No, it doesn't. Chitin is an sort of skeleton found on the outside of such animals as insects.
What substance in found in fungi cell walls that is not found in plant cell walls?
Fungal cell walls are made of chitin the same substance that insect and crustacean exoskeleton are made of. Chitin is a polysaccharide a long chain of sugar molecules.
Is chitin a protein found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and fungi?
Yes, chitin is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and cell walls of fungi. It is not a protein.
From where does chitin originate?
Chitin is a derivative of glucose, and can be found in the cell walls of fungi and in exoskeletons of some organisms.
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 do chitin eat?
Chitin itself is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, and it is not alive and therefore does not eat. However, chitin can be broken down by certain organisms such as bacteria and fungi as a food source.
In which kingdom does chitin exist?
Chitin is primarily found in the kingdoms Animalia (animals, in this case, typically insects) and Fungi
How is chitin different then cellulose?
Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods, while cellulose is a structural polysaccharide found in plants, providing rigidity to cell walls. Chitin contains nitrogen, making it tougher and more flexible than cellulose. Additionally, chitin is not as abundant in nature as cellulose.
