The outer shells of insects
Chitin.
The cell walls of fungi are composed of a tough substance called chitin
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.
chitin, a structural polymer similar to the one found in the exoskeletons of insects, are reinforced with beta-glucans and chitin.
Fungi eg. mushrooms
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.
Yes, chitin is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and cell walls of fungi. It is not a protein.
Chitin.
Chitin is commonly found in fungi cell walls.
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.
The cell walls of fungi are composed of a tough substance called chitin
Chitin is a derivative of glucose, and can be found in the cell walls of fungi and in exoskeletons of some organisms.
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.
