While most fish scales are made of out cartilage (collagen), some fish (such as tilapia and carp) have scales that are made from chitin.
Fungi...
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.
A chitin that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is not made out of a polymer of amino acids. Chitin is a nitrogen that contains polysaccharide.
Chitin is a polymer composed of N-acetylglucosamine monomers, which are linked by beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds, not alpha. Therefore, the monomeric units of chitin do not exist in the alpha configuration. Instead, the structure of chitin is more closely related to cellulose, which also features beta linkages.
The cell walls of fungi are composed of a tough substance called chitin

Chitin is commonly found in fungi cell walls.
The body covering of mosquitoes is chitin.

Not really. They outer body covering is called chitin.
KERATIN:)
While scales of fish are made of different materials (bone, cartilage, etc.), fish such as carp have scales that are made out of chitin (a polysaccharide that is both flexible and strong).
The cell wall of fungi is mostly composed of chitin. True fungi do not have cellulose in their walls. The cell membrane of fungi is composed of lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol) and proteins.
