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 else can I help you with?
Is the mantel the outside covering of an arthropod?
No, it's the outside of a mollusc, such as a snail, slug or squid. Arthropods are animals such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids, with a hard exoskeleton as their outside covering.
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.
Which of these has an exoskeleton arthropod worm vertebrate cnidarian?
An arthropod
How would taking in water or air before a new exoskeleton hardens help an arthropod?
Arthropod means "jointed legs," because arthropods are covered with a hard skin ("crab shells" are the hard skin of crabs) and they move by flexing joints along their hard skin. When they grow, they have to grow inside their hard skin. But, if the skin is too tight, there's no space! By taking in air or water when their shell is still soft, arthropods can "pump up" and make a nice roomy shell to grow in. When they fill that shell up, they crawl out of it, and then pump up the soft skin underneath. The pumped up soft skin hardens into hard skin, and the arthropod is ready to keep growing.
What characteristics do the animals need to be an arthropod?
If you're going to be classified as an arthropod, you'd need to have a segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
What is the outer covering of an arthropod?
Chitin
Is the mantel the outside covering of an arthropod?
No, it's the outside of a mollusc, such as a snail, slug or squid. Arthropods are animals such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids, with a hard exoskeleton as their outside covering.
What is an arthroderm?
An arthroderm is an external covering of an arthropod.
What is the name of the outer covering of an arthropod?
It is called the exosketon. It is made from a hard protein, chitin, which arthropods often biomineralize for further strength.
What is an arthropod's tough outer covering called?
Exoskeleton/ Chitin
How molting of exoskeleton necessary for arthropod growth accomplished?
The exoskelton of an arthropod is hard, and thus cannot accomodate growth. So an arthropod must periodically replace it.

What exactly is an arthropod?
Arthropods are invertebrates.They have jointed legs, segmented bodies and hard outer covering known as exoskeletons which the shed from time to time as they grow.Insects,centipedes,millipedes,arachnids and crustaceans are different example of arthropods.
What body covering do worms have?
hard covering

Is a goat an arthropod?
No arthropods are organisms with a hard exoskeleton goats have a bone skeleton
