How do arthropods grow bigger?
According to Biologists, arthropods must undergo a molting process where they shed their exoskeletons in order for them to grow.
Why does the Stratum Corneum slough off?
Cells in the stratum corneum undergo the process of molting (shedding off the old skin) to reproduce new and better ones.
Why do humans undergo fermentation?
Humans do not undergo fermentation, only plants do. Humans undergo through lactate process instead.
List at least one type of organism that does not undergo meiosis?
Bacteria (prokaryotes) do not undergo meiosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, which is a form of asexual reproduction.
Do beetles molt?
Yes, they do. Molting is the process by which insects grow. Generally accomplished through the early years of the insect's existence, molting allows the body of the insect to expand under controlled and protected conditions. In comparison, our (human) bodies expand with the growing of our bones and muscles as we age. Insects, on the other hand, utilize what is called an exoskeleton. This exoskeleton is basically their underlying bone structure that is located on the outside of their bodies with corresponding organs and muscles located underneath this hard shell. So in order for the insect to grow - i.e. increase in size - the insect must shed its current skin in favor of the new skin underneath. This process is known in the insect world was molting. To undergo the process of molting, an insect must begin to take in air or water by either swallowing it in naturally or raising its internal blood pressure. This instigates the process of molting that begins. The result is a soft, expandable exoskeleton suitable for further, albeit limited, growth. This process is repeated several times during the life span of an insect depending on the species. The new exoskeleton will eventually harden and retain the original coloring of the insect as it matures and is exposed to the elements and everyday wear-and-tear. Depending on the species, molting can actually occur about 5 to 60 times in the life span of an insect and is generally regarded as one of the most vulnerable processes that an insect can go through. Yet this process is naturally required by insects to continue to grow into a full adult stage. Not surprisingly, molting is not limited to insect species alone as even spiders and snakes undergo the procedure as needed.
What is the function of molting?
When arthropods outgrow their exoskeletons, they undergo periods of molting. During molting, an arthropod sheds its entire exoskeleton and manufactures a larger one to take the smaller ones place. Molting is controlled by the arthropods endocrine system. An animals endocrine system regulates body processes by means of chemicals called hormones. As the time of molting approaches skin glanes digest the old part of the exoskeleton and other glands secrete a new skeleton. Whenthe new skeleton is ready the animal pulls itself out of what remains of the original Skelton, this process can take several hours while the new exoskeleton is still soft the animal fills with air or fluids to allow room for growth before the next molting. Most arthropods molt several times between hatching in adulthood. This process is dangerous to the animal because it is vonerable to preditors while their shell is too soft to protect themselves. Most arthropods like to hide during molting or molt at night when less predictors can get them.
What processes do all cells undergo?
First they need to ingest energy in the form of foodstuffs. Then they need to produce the enzymatic facilities that all cells need to GROW; and finally when Growth is sufficient, they must needs to undergo cell division. Repeat as regulated.
Why do cells undergo the process of mitosis?
reproduction
Process of transformation which insect undergo?
the answer is metamorphosis.
What animals undergo on molting?
most common insects that undergo metamorphosis are the butterflies and moths.
What process do cells undergo when organisms grow?
They should be remain diploid.So they undergo mitosis.
What is the definition for undergo?
The definition of undergo is: To pass through experience or to endure, or to suffer.
