Question

Assertion : The exoskeleton of arthropods is made up of complex polysaccharide called chitin.\ Reason : Plant cell walls are made up of cellulose.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) :Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates which are formed by polymerisation of large number of monosaccharide monomers. Exoskeletons of arthropods, contain a complex polysaccharide called chitin. These complexPolysaccharides are heteropolymers. Plant cell walls are made up of cellulose. Paper made from plant pulp and cotton fibre is cellulosic. Cellulose is homopolysaccharide.
