Answer;
-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).

Monosaccharides are also known as Simple sugars.
Two main categories of sugars are monosaccharides and
disaccharides. Fructose, glucose, and ribose are included
in monosaccharides. Glucose is a kind of sugar in monosaccharides that is known
as the blood sugar.</span>

Answer:
C. The enzyme with mutation 1 has decreased affinity for pyridoxal phosphate, whereas the enzyme with mutation 2 has lost the ability to bind to the substrates.
Explanation:
A coenzyme is an organic cofactor that binds with an enzyme in order to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme. A coenzyme binds to the active site of the enzyme (where the reaction occurs), thereby triggering its activation by modifying protein structure during the reaction. Some examples of coenzymes include Coenzyme A and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme (it is the active form of vitamin B6) that is required for the function of cystathionase. Moreover, cystathionase is an enzyme that enables cells the synthesis of cysteine from methionine (transsulfuration pathway). The binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the enzyme increases the binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, thereby influencing its activity. In this case, it is expected that mutation 1 reduces the binding affinity of the enzyme to the cofactor, and thereby the cofactor is required at a higher concentration to restore normal enzyme activity.
