Question

Chitin present in exoskeleton of insects is a
Homopolymer
Heteropolymer
Conjugated lipid
Conjugated protein​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Chitin. Chitin, a biopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine with some glucosamine, is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans and insects, the radulas of mollusks and the beaks of cephalopods.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is Homopolymer

Explanation:

Given - Chitin is present in the exoskeleton of insects.

To Find - Choose the correct option for the exoskeleton of insects.

Chitin present in the exoskeleton of insects is a Homopolymer

Arthropods and other invertebrates' exoskeletons' main structural component is chitin, which is also a significant component of most fungi and many algae's cell walls. It is practically as prevalent as cellulose. It is a homopolymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues that are 1,4-linked.

Homopolymers are polymers made up of the same repeating monomer unit. These monomers may have a comparable chemical make-up or structural make-up. For instance, ethylene serves as the monomer unit for the homopolymer polyethylene.
