What process does an arthropod sheds its exoskeleton to grow a new one?
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
What happens to an arthropod's exo skeleton as the arthropod grows up?
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
What happens to the exoskeleton when an arthropod grows?
Because of the hardness and inflexibility of the arthropod exoskeleton, they are not suited to expansion and need to be shed or discarded entirely to allow the arthropod to grow. This action is usually called moulting.
Why is ecdysis necessary?
Ecdysis is when an arthropod molts its exoskeleton. Molting is necessary. The arthropod exoskeleton is inflexible, so, for it to grow larger, arthropods must molt.
Molting refers to the shedding of which important arthropod part?
the outter skin. as the arthropod grows, the outter skin doesn't grow with it. than it gets rid of it by molting!
What are the caractoristics of a butterfly that make it a arthropod?
It's invertebrate (no backbone), has an exoskeleton and jointed legs, and its larvae molt to grow. The fact it has six legs and wings makes it an insect, a group within the larger group of arthropods.
How do arthropods grow bigger?
Arthropods grow bigger by shedding their exoskeleton in a process called molting. After molting, the arthropod secretes a new, larger exoskeleton, which allows it to grow until the next molting cycle. This process continues throughout their lifespan, enabling them to increase in size.
Is a locast an arthropod?
locasts are a type of bug that flies and stings
Which of these has an exoskeleton arthropod worm vertebrate cnidarian?
An arthropod
What is arthropod vectors?
Vectors of the arthropod.
Why is molting necessary for arthropds growth?
Moulting (ecdysis) is the most convenient strategy for an arthropod organism's growth owing to the rigidity of the exoskeleton. If it were less inelastic it could potentially be stretched or enlarged by other means. Moulting also seems to be exploited by many arthropod species for limb or process regrowth after amputation.
Is a crab a mollusks or a arthropod?
A crab is an arthropod.
