Detailed explanation-1: -Chitin is a derived polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of insects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chitin, the second most abundant natural polysaccharide, after cellulose, is a linear polymer composed of repeating (1, 4)-N-acetylglucosamine units (Figure 18). Chitin exists in the shells of arthropods such as crabs, shrimps, and insects and is also produced by fungi and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chitin, a linear polysaccharide found in fungi, crustaceous, insects, and parasites, is a water insoluble polymer composed of units of 1, 4-linked N-acetylglucosamine.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chitin (-(1–4)-poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is widely distributed in nature and is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose.
