-Chitin is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton
Explanation;
-Chitin is the main component in the exoskeletons of arthropods and crustaceans and is also in the cell walls of fungi.
-It is a linear long chain polymer consisting of repeated units of N-acetyl-glucosamine.
-The main function of the chitin-containing exoskeleton is to keep the inner soft tissue safe from any sort of injury and also prevents the delicate tissues from drying (acts as a water tight barrier against dehydration).
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. Chitin, in arthropods, is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton. It is a long chain of <span>polymer of an N-acetylglucosamine. </span>Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Proteins are dynamic molecules that are capable of INTRINSIC motion that can have important functional relevance. The existence of this type of motion has suggested that enzymes are capable - even in the absence of substrate - of many of the same movements that can be detected during their catalytic cycle
