Advantages are, the exoskeleton provides a bony plate of armor for support and protection of the soft internal tissues and organs
Disadvantages; it limits the possible size of the animal. Since the weight of an animal is a function of its volume. The molt period makes the organism vulnerable since the shell is so soft it makes it easy prey for predators

What type of skeleton does the water strider have?
Water striders have an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer covering that provides support and protection. This exoskeleton is made of chitin, a tough material that also covers insects and other arthropods.
What major events happend in the silurian period?
During the Silurian period, significant events included the diversification of jawed fish, the colonization of land by plants and invertebrates, and the formation of coral reefs. This period also saw the development of the first forests and the evolution of early arthropods.

pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
Can you explain anaerobic respiration and its disadvantages compared to aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is a process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where glucose is broken down to produce energy. One major disadvantage of anaerobic respiration is that it is less efficient than aerobic respiration, producing less energy per glucose molecule. Additionally, anaerobic respiration can lead to the buildup of lactic acid, causing muscle fatigue and soreness.
What are some advantages and disadvantages to asexual reproduction?
The disadvantages are that it is hard for a species to vary and/or evolve with asexual reproduction because the offspring really only have one parent. another disadvantage is that most species that asexually reproduce are small organisms (single celled bacteria or protists), although there are some plants that are known to asexually reproduce. some advantages include that you do not need another gender partner to reproduce, as long as you have an energy source, you can reproduce all you wantSome advantages of asexual reproduction are- Large numbers of offspring are reproduced very quickly from only oneparent when conditions are favourable.- Large colonies can form that can out - complete other organisms for nutrients and water.- Large numbers of organisms mean that species may survive when conditions or the number of predators change.- Energy is not required to find a mate.Some disadvantages of asexual reproduction are- Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make a sexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring.- Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.- Unfavourable conditions such as extreme temperatures can wipe out entire colonies.The advantages are that if the plant is good at producing ripe fruit or vegetable quickly or is quick at photosynthesis, you take a cutting from the plant and replant it and when it grows it identical to the original. Or it might be a that it is immune to some types of pesticides and other chemicals.The disadvantages are that if the plants are all the same species there is no differentiating and therefore they can be wiped out by a disease or a change in the climate.
What is the major function of the exoskeleton of crayfish?
The major function of the exoskeleton, like for all arthropods, is arguably to protect the soft body inside.

Why is the Earthworm classified as a Eukaryote?
It does not have a rigid exoskeleton or jointed limbs which are major characteristics of arthropods.
What catagorise are arthropods?
The category (taxon) for arthropods is called a phylum, a major division in the classification scheme for living things. Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and jointed appendages.

What is the major characteristic of an arthropod?
There are 4 characteristics that are shared by all Arthropods... 1.) Jointed Limbs 2.) A segmented body with specialzed parts 3.) An Exoskeleton 4.) Well developed nervous system. P.S... I found this answer out of my Science Book! ;)

Does Arthropods have a rigid outer covering called mantle?
No, the rigid outer covering of arthropods is usually called the exoskeleton. In biology the mantle is a major anatomical component of a different phylum - molluscs, the tissue which contains the internal organs and in many molluscs responsible for secreting the mineralized outer shell.
What does arthropod make up?
Arthropods collectively make up a major taxonomic classification called a phylum. Members of the phylum (Arthropoda) are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
What is the major component of the exoskeleton of a grasshoppers?
The exoskeleton is made of chitin, a polysaccharide.
What is a major characteristic of arthropods?
Because they are cold blooded little buggers with exoskeletons, they can readily adapt to any environment and they produce faster than rabbits. To add to this, they are very diverse and spread evenly around the globe in all environments
