Why do animals moult their exoskeleton as they grow?
having an exoskeleton affect how an animal grows because the exoskeleton does not grow as the animal grows so the animal must shed or molt its exoskeleton.
Why do arthropods undergo molting as part of their life cycle?
Arthropods undergo molting to grow because their exoskeleton does not grow with them. Molting allows them to shed their old exoskeleton and grow a new, larger one.
Why does a crayfish hide after it molts its exoskeleton?
After shedding its exoskeleton, a crayfish hides because it becomes vulnerable to injury and attacks from predators. The crayfish sheds its exoskeleton when it needs to grow. It can take two to three days for a crayfish to re-grow a new and larger one.
Why are scorpions arthropods?
because the scorpions have jointed legs i don't research it on computer
How does the animals with skeleton external grow?
An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).
Why is ecdysis necessary?
Ecdysis is when an arthropod molts its exoskeleton. Molting is necessary. The arthropod exoskeleton is inflexible, so, for it to grow larger, arthropods must molt.
What is the process by which insects grow by getting rid of their old exoskeleton?
It is more like because insects grow, they must get rid of their old exoskeleton. Imagine if you took a small plastic box and put a water balloon inside. The plastic would be like the exoskeleton and the water balloon would be like the insect's organs. If you add water to the balloon eventually it will fill the whole box and start trying to pop the box open. That is like an insect. Their bodies grow but the exoskeleton is too hard to stretch or grow. Therefore, they shed their exoskeleton and grow a new one that fits them.
What do you call it when a bug sheds its exoskeleton?
An insect does this to grow. It expands rapidly before the next exoskeleton hardens.
Is the exoskeleton of the arthropod shed during molting?
Most only do so in larval/juvenile stages, when it's time to grow. Some arthropods such as tarantula females continue growing and molting until death. Also, when damage has occurred (torn off leg for example) molting can be induced earlier to develop and grow new appendages. :)
Do strawberries grow in dessert land?
No they cant because there hardly is any rain there. So the strawberry's cant get enough water to grow.
How does an arthropod grow larger?
Through shedding their exoskeleton.
How are arthropods able to grow bigger within their exoskeleton?
Because of a process called Ecdysis (also known as moulting) arthropods are able to grow bigger. In ecdysis old exoskeleton is shed and new one (slightly bigger) covers the body.
