I am asking what the structure of chitin is and how the structure of the 
chitin helps its function. I am asking because in Biology class we are 
learning about macromolecules and I am curious about the more specific 
functions. Naturally, I have already asked my teacher, but she was unsure so I 
came here for more information.
