[edit] A few changes

Removed stub tag. Removed sentence "Chitin is considered a type of carbohydrate and is part of the carbohydrates macromolecule.", as it was already stated above in more concise language. Article still needs expansion; chitin is a very important and abundant organic compound. Fuzzform 02:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
