The process in which crustaceans shed their shell is a process called molting.
A crustacean husk refers to the hard exoskeleton or shell that protects crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. This outer structure is primarily composed of chitin, a tough polysaccharide, and provides both protection and support to the animal's body. After molting, when a crustacean sheds its old exoskeleton to grow, the husk is often left behind and can be found in various environments, contributing to the ecosystem.
Crayfish endocrine systems primarily involve hormones that regulate growth, reproduction, and molting. The eyestalks produce hormones like crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH), which controls glucose levels and influences molting and reproductive cycles. Additionally, the Y-organ releases molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), which prevents premature molting. These hormonal interactions ensure proper physiological responses to environmental changes and developmental needs.
No because a crustacean has a exoskeleton and a mussel has a shell
a crab is a crustacean
No. A bird is not a crustacean.
crustacean is not a decomposer
The molting lava started flowing from the volcano. This is an example to the word molting.
The word molting, aka: a dog is molting, this is pronounced like mole-ting.
No, a frog is an amphibian, not a crustacean.

My penguin is not molting, penguins do not molt.
