Cellulose
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.
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.
Organisms with cell walls made of chitin belong to the kingdom Fungi. This includes mushrooms, yeasts, and molds. Chitin is a structural polysaccharide that provides support and protection for fungal cells.
Chitin is a polysaccharide (polymer of sugar [saccharide], monomers) that is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (insects, crabs, lobsters, shrimp), mollusks, and in thebeaks of cephalopods (squid and octopus). It is also found in the cell walls of fungi.Unlike glycogen and starch, which are used for energy storage, chitin is primarily used as a structural component, strengthening exoskeletons, shells, and cell walls.Chitin is a polysaccharide that helps to strengthen the cell walls of fungi and forms the strong, yet flexible, exoskeleton of arthropods.it isthe cell-wal of the fungi
Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as insects, crabs, and spiders. It provides toughness and support to these organisms.
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.

polysaccharide
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters, and insects. It is a structural molecule that provides strength and protection to these arthropods. Chitin is composed of N-acetylglucosamine units and is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose.
Chitin
The primary polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls of fungi is called chitin. Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine and provides structural support and protection to fungal cells. It is similar in function to cellulose in plant cell walls.
chitin
No, it is a polysaccharide that makes up the exoskeletons of arthropods.
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 is a polysaccharide. So, it is a polymer of many monosaccharides. In the case of chitin, the monosaccharide subunit that makes up it polymeric structure is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
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 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.
