This statement is true.

Chitin is a polysaccharide made up of N - acetylglucosamine .

Fungi cell walls are made of chitin. Chitin is also the major ingredient of the exoskeletons of crustaceans and arthropods. Spiders, beetles, butterflies, lobsters, shrimps and crabs all have chitin in their protective armor.

when intermixed with protein and other pigments, it forms different levels of hardness and a variety of distinct colors. Alone, chitin appears translucent and not hard. In arthropods, it is secreted by epidermal cells.

For the numbered steps below, select the option that places them in the correct order. 1) The ribosome binds to the mRNA and use

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3

Explanation:

First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.
