Macromolecule chitin is
- A sulphur containing polysaccharide
- B simple polysaccharide
- C nitrogen containing polysaccharide
- D phosphorous containing polysaccharide
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) nitrogen containing polysaccharide
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(c) : Chitin is a structural polysaccharide that constitutes the exoskeleton of arthropods. It is a complex carbohydrate in which N-acetyl glucosamine monomers are joined together by \((1, 4)\) \(\beta\)- linkages. Chitinous exoskeleton provides strength and elasticity to arthropods.
