- Dsimple polysaccharide
Correct answer
A. nitrogen containing polysaccharide
Step-by-step solution
Macromolecule chitin is a complex polysaccharide containing amino sugars and chemically modified sugars (e.g., glucosamine, N -acetyl galactosamine, etc). Polysaccharides are long carbohydrate molecules of monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic bonds. They have a general formula C _x ( H ₂ O )_y .
