The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of chitin, a linear polysaccharide consisting of P-1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. Synthesis and deposition of a chitin-based noncellular, hardened, or membranous secretion from an epithelial sheet. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a cuticle, the outer layer of some animals and plants, which acts to prevent water loss. The chemical reactions and pathways involving chitin, a linear polysaccharide consisting of P-1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of cuticle chitin, a linear polysaccharide consisting of P-1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues, found in cuticles. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aminoglycans, any polymer containing amino groups that consists of more than about 10 monosaccharide residues joined to each other by glycosidic linkages. The chemical reactions and pathways involving cuticle chitin, a linear polysaccharide consisting of P-1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues, found in cuticles.
