Study Notes
Ch Function in Animals and Plants
- Ch (Chitin) is a crucial component in the exoskeletons of animals, providing structural support and protection.
- In animals, ch is predominantly involved in the formation of exoskeletons in arthropods, such as crustaceans, insects, and arachnids.
- In plants, ch primarily facilitates defense against pathogens and pests, acting as a signaling molecule to trigger immune responses.
- Ch also plays a role in plant growth and development, influencing cell wall formation and extensibility.
