What is the same between a exoskeleton and a endoskeleton?
they both give structure to a body
How do creature with skeleton outside support itself?
An exterior skeletons (Exoskeleton) method of support is far different than an interior skeletons (Endoskeleton). The major difference is that an exoskeleton has structeres called apodemes, which are chitin structures that serve as attachment sites in the same way that muscles in an endoskeleton attach to the bone.
What is a tough material that makes up an arthropods exoskeleton?
I believe that exoskeletons are made of the same material as our own fingernails and hair, just compacted together.
Is the bat is an exoskeleton?
The bat is a mammal and does not have an exoskeleton. It has an internal skeleton the same as other mammals do. You will find exoskeletons on insects.
What kind of skeleton system does the Blue Morpho Butterfly have?
The Blue Morpho Butterfly has an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer covering that provides support and protection. This exoskeleton is made of chitin, a tough material that gives it structure and strength.
What is difference between the exoskeleton of an insect and chitin?
its the same between an apple and a banana...they just don't compare
Does a arthopod have an exoskeleton?
Yes. Arthropods have a skeleton on the outside, called an exoskeleton. (By contrast, vertebrates will have an internal skeleton or endoskeleton). The exoskeleton of arthropoda is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. It fills the same role as the protein keratin in other animals where it would be found in hair, nails, hooves, claws, beaks, etc. Some arthropods, like crustaceans, further harden their chitin exoskeleton by biomineralization with calcium carbonate. Because it is inflexible, the organism has to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
What are 3 functions of an exoskeleton?
The functions of an exoskeleton: 1)To protect the internal organs against attack, accidental damage and the elements. 2)To give structural support to the internal organs, muscles & sinues (in much the same way as an endoskeleton does). 3)To facilitate the movement of limbs & appendages.
What is an insects skin called and does it protect the insect?
Insects are covered with a skeletal protection called an "Exoskeleton", that is located on the outside of the body, rather than the inside.
What is a hard covering of an arthropod?
that shell is called the exoskeleton,And the exoskeleton is a shell made out of chitin.The hard exoskeleton of a lobster is known as the chitin.
What is the function of endoskeleton?
The endoskeleton of vertebrates have at least three main functions. These are: 1. To support the all parts of the body, including limbs, organs, and the head. 2. To protect vital organisms (IE, the skull protects the brain and the ribcage protects the lungs and the heart. 3. Some bones produce red and/or white blood cells. Blood cells, unlike other cells, do not self replicate, so without the marrow in some of our bones, we wouldn't produce new blood cells and we would soon die.
Is a coachcroches skin made of the same thing as your fingernails?
Yes, both a cockroach's exoskeleton (skin) and human fingernails are made of a protein called chitin. However, the composition and structure of chitin in a cockroach's exoskeleton are different from the keratin in human fingernails.
