What are the major advantages and disadvantages of an arthropod's exoskeleton?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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
