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.

How might alterations in dna structure be harmful to an organism?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Changes in the dna are called mutations. They can occur spontaneously. Mutations can only be passed down in gametes--sperm and egg cells. with Darwins theory at mind a mutation needs to pass the test of natural selection to remain in the gene pool. So purposly making mutation or altercations may end in diseases/illnesses or in some cases death because they body can not take it.....hope this helps if it doesnt im sorry!

What are the possible consequences if only one egg is implanted
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
  <span>are we talking human reproduction? in this case only 1 egg is implanted. in unusual cases there could be 2 eggs implanted meaning fraternal twins. if 1 egg splits, we get identical twins. with only one egg implanted, there is only 1 kid being produced. 

the female has eggs stored from birth. 1 ovary 'pops' once a month to either be discarded via a period or implanted after fertilization. multiple eggs released is usually the effect of fertility drugs making many eggs get released at once. this is unusual unless fertility drugs are in use</span>

How do you think greenhouse gas emissions and global climate will change during the next 50 years? If greenhouse gas emissions a
Karolina [17]
Greenhouse gas emissions will continue to increase in the short term, but as new technologies are discovered and implemented by governments and industries, this may eventually reverse. Global climate may continue to warm, but once greenhouse gas emissions are lowered, this may slowly reverse. Current solutions are not yet enough to stop the increase in temperature, but some technologies on the horizon are promising, such as carbon capture and storage, solar energy, and aquaculture of biofuels. One immediate way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a change in lifestyle, for example, using less fuel-intensive transportation options and saving electricity.
