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.
