Crabs are exoskeletal - their hard skin forms the skeleton on the outside - and it is made of a tough protein (chitin). Birds are endoskeletal, an internal skeleton with a backbone (vertebral column), the bones having a significant inorganic component, carbonated hydroxyapatite containing calcium and some phosphorus.
Crabs have no inner skeleton like humans do so the shell is its skeleton but on the outside of its body. The shell protects the crab from injury.
All but the crab do.
no they do not have an internal skeleton in order to grow they switch their shells
A Human skeleton,and a crab shell are alike because,the bones inside the human body are strong like the crab shell on the outside of the body
The skeleton and shell of a crab are synonymous. What we'd call the shell of a crab is simply a component of its exoskeleton, the external covering arthropods use made out of a tough protein, chitin.
An Exoskeleton - external skeleton. Stops it getting omnomed
no they do not have an internal skeleton in order to grow they switch their shells
Man and cow. p.s I had it as a question in a science quiz for homework.
A bird
They providestrength and support for the body.
A crab has an external hard shell, and is an invertebrate.
an octopus has a squishy outer layer and a crab has a hard shell to protect it. the crab has claws to catch its food and an octopus has suckers to latch on to its prey. an octopus can also squeeze into really small spaces because it can move its skin and shrinks down to size. that is the difference between a crab and an octopus.
