Question
Exoskeleton of Arthropods are chitinous and it sheds at interval for the growth and development process known as(a) Autotomy(b) Metamerism(c) Ecdysis (moulting)(d) Aestivation
Step 1
It is a hard, external covering that protects the soft tissues of animals such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans. This exoskeleton is made of a material called chitin. Show more…

What is the function of the arthropod exoskeleton? a. Because hard parts fossilize more readily than do soft tissues, the presence of an exoskeleton has given arthropods a good fossil record b. It has no well-established function. (Trilobites had an exoskeleton, and they went extinct.) c. It provides protection and functions in locomotion. d. It makes growth by molting possible.
Which of the following is not characteristic of arthropods? (a) exoskeleton (b) pseudocoelom (c) paired, jointed append. ages (d) chitin (e) segmentation.
