Chitin, a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods, differs significantly from cellulose in terms of its monomeric unit. This difference primarily stems from:
The presence of an N-acetyl group at C-2 of the monomer
The type of glycosidic linkage between monomers
The degree of polymerization (chain length)
The three-dimensional arrangement of the polymer chains
