What are the Advantages and disadvantages of having an endoskeleton?

Answer 1

an endoskeleton has many disadvantages and advantages. The advantages of having an endoskeleton is that its light and acts like an armour to protect the body from fragile organs being damaged. The disadvantages that if the bones do break its takes a time to fully heal itself.

Answer 2

Unlike exoskeletons, endoskeletons do not provide external protection and cannot reduce the risk of water loss.

Answer 3

The advantage would be that you're better protected against immediate attacks but you're so inflexible that if too large of an amount of pressure were to be put on a part on your exoskeleton, you couldn't bend with it, and that whole regional structure would ultimately fail.

Answer 4

1 - The materials that make up endoskeletons are stronger than exoskeletons 2- less restraint on muscle size because they are not enclosed by the endoskeleton

For larger animals endoskeletons are an advantage because they allow greater growth.

Answer 5

Pros: It is harder to damage your skeleton; attackers do not know EXACTLY where your bones are; your skeleton is more protected. Cons: You cannot 'molt' or 'shed'; There is no way to grow a new skeleton

Answer 6

Advantages of having an endoskeleton include providing structural support, protection of internal organs, and flexibility for movement. Disadvantages may include being heavier than organisms with exoskeletons, increased risk of injury to internal structures, and difficulties in regeneration if damaged.

Answer 7

I do not know... but I think that it allows greater growth
