Explanation:
Chitin is a linear homopolysaccharide composed of N-acetylglucosamine residues. ... It is made by treating the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance, like sodium hydroxide. Because the treatment modifies some of the saccharide, it is considered a heteropolysaccharide.
