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 is the polysaccharide that gives the insect's exoskeleton the resistance to bending resulting in breaking or cracking. It is also a prime compound and component found in the shells lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish.
exoskeleton
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.
The name for the skeleton outside of an animal's body is an "exoskeleton." This structure provides support and protection for the organism and is commonly found in invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans.
Phylum arthropoda are also called jointed legged animals. They have exoskeleton and segmentations. Some good examples are crustaceans, insects and arachnids. Examples of crustaceans are crabs, crayfish, and lobster.
Arthropods have exoskeletons made of chitin. However, chitin is not a protein. It is actually a derivative of glucose, which is a carbohydrate.
Chitin is the primary protein found in the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans. It provides structural support and protection, serving as a tough, yet flexible material that makes up the outer shells of these animals.
Chipmunks, like all mammals, have an endoskeleton, which means their bones are internal. An exoskeleton is a hard outer covering found in arthropods like insects and crustaceans. Chipmunks do not have an exoskeleton.
Arthropods include insects, spiders, crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp), and millipedes and centipedes. They have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and an exoskeleton made of chitin. Arthropods are incredibly diverse and can be found in nearly every habitat on Earth.
Crickets (and other insects) do not have ears. They have a membrane on the exoskeleton on each side of the head equivalent to an eardrum.
its called chintin im not sure that's how you spell it
