Detailed explanation-1: -Chitin is a nitrogen-containing modified polysaccharide made up of units of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (more precisely, 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose).
Detailed explanation-2: -Chitin is a modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen; it is synthesized from units of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (S.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chitin is a modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen; it is synthesized from units of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (to be precise, 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose). These units form covalent -(1→4)-linkages (like the linkages between glucose units forming cellulose).
Detailed explanation-4: -Chitin is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine. It is a nitrogen containing polysaccharide and a derivative of glucose.
Detailed explanation-5: -Macromolecule chitin is an example complex structural hetero polysaccharide. It has nitrogen containing glucose derivatives such as N-acetyl glycosamine. It is present as the structural component of fungal cell walls and exoskeleton of arthropods etc.
