What is an arthropod's tough outer covering called?
Exoskeleton/ Chitin
What is an arthropod's body covering?
The external covering on arthropods is called the exoskeleton (or cuticle). It is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. Because it's inflexible, arthropods need to shed it (moult) in order to grow.
What is the arthropod skeleton composed of?
Arthropods have an external skeletal structure, or "exoskeleton", usually made from a material called "chitin", a natural-made carbohydrate-based polymer. Chitin is not unlike keratin (a protein-based natural polymer, used in other creatures to make nails, claws, hair, etc) in structure.
Where is an arthropods skeleton?
Arthropod have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer.
Arthropods have a hard outer skeleton and?
Yes. Arthropods are characterized by an exoskeleton made mostly from the tough protein chitin, also joint appendages and segmented bodies.
What made up of arthropoda outer body?
Arthropod skin or exoskeleton is made out of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer glucose derivative chemically comparable to cellulose. Crustaceans further harden it through biomineralization with calcium carbonate.
Do spiders have back bones?
denotation or conotation? denotation. spiders don't have any bones @ all. conotation. if you had ever been in a fight w/ my little girl, you would already know that she won't back down from anything -- figuratively @ least.
Does a beetle have an exoskeleton?
A bumblebee is an insect, which is a member of the Phylum Arthropoda. One of the defining characteristics of an arthropod is its exoskeleton.
What are non-arthropods?
well i don't know about non arthropods but this is what i know about arthropods:- Arthropods have jointed legs and a head and segmented body parts called the thorax and abdomen. An arthropod's body is covered by a shell or a hard outer skin called an exoskeleton. It is made of a material called chitin. The exoskeleton has a special top layer, the cuticle, which is thick and tough. In crustaceans, the exoskeleton is sometimes called the carapace and hides the segmented body parts. by kira 7G
What kind of skeleton does a centipede have?
As with all arthropods, it has an exoskelton.
What are long tough tapered plant cells called?
They are called Fibers
What is an invertebrate that has a hard shell?
I believe "arthropod" is the word you're looking for.
