TRUE
a shell
No, when they molt their underground, so they get out of their shell, molt, get back in their shell and eat the exoskeleton. You have to let them eat it because it has the nutrients it needs.
It is a good example of an exoskeleton.
Exoskeleton means "outside skeleton". Animals that have no bones, but a hard outer shell have an exoskeleton- like crabs and lobsters. That would be a weird looking parrot.
The top shell is the carapace.The underneath shell is the plastron.Together they form the crab's exoskeleton.
Yes. Anything with an exoskeleton or a hard shell (except turtles) are arthropods.
An exoskeleton is a boney outer shell (crabs, lobster) as apposed to an endoskeleton which is having the bones on the inside.
Crabs support their body through their eight legs as well as an exoskeleton, which means that the bones are outside and the body is inside. The exoskeleton in this case is a shell, and the claws are pincers because they are used for pinching purposes.
Soft shell crabs are regular blue crabs that have been harvested at the proper time, just after they shed their exoskeleton. after an hour or so their shells begin to harden and for a while they have a leathery feel and are known as paper shell crabs before they shell hardens to it's usual toughness
