the bug that sheds it's exoskeleton is called CICADA.

answer 2. Bugs that live for more than a few months commonly shed their exoskeleton as they grow. Many Spiders do so. [And their relatives the crabs and crayfish/lobsters.]

Cicadas shed their skin when they first emerge from the ground (where they will have spent several years living off a root), and they do it after first having climbed a small tree, so their discarded shells are conspicuous.

What exactly is an arthropod?

Arthropods are invertebrates.They have jointed legs, segmented bodies and hard outer covering known as exoskeletons which the shed from time to time as they grow.Insects,centipedes,millipedes,arachnids and crustaceans are different example of arthropods.


Is chitin a protein found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and fungi?

Yes, chitin is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and cell walls of fungi. It is not a protein.


What are two characteristics all arthropods have?

All arthropods have exoskeletons and joint appendages.


Arthropods periodically shed and discard their exoskeletons as they grow in a process called?

Ecdysis, commonly known as molting. During molting, arthropods shed their old exoskeleton and form a new, larger one to accommodate their growth. This process is essential for arthropods to maintain their size and continue their development.


Do most arthropods have endoskeletons?

Endo = inside. Endoskeletons are skeletons like ours, bones on the inside. Arthropods have EXOskeletons, armour on the outside.All arthropods have segmented bodies with tough exoskeletons made from chitin.


Organisms with external skeletons are exemplified by?

Arthropods, such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans, are examples of organisms with external skeletons, also known as exoskeletons. These exoskeletons provide support and protection for the body but must be shed periodically to accommodate growth.


What are three activities than exoskeleton makes more difficult for arthropods?

Exoskeletons can make certain activities challenging for arthropods, such as growth and molting, as they must shed their rigid outer layer to increase in size, which is a vulnerable period. Additionally, exoskeletons can limit flexibility and mobility, making rapid movements or intricate maneuvers more difficult. Finally, exoskeletons can hinder respiration in aquatic arthropods, as the rigid structure may restrict the efficient exchange of gases through gills.


What kind of arthropods have exoskeletons?

ants, cecata's and spiders


Do arthropods have a mantle?

No. Arthropods have "exoskeletons", shells outside their bodies that contain and protect their internal organs.


How is molting in snakes different from molting in athropods?

Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.


Is chitin an enzyme?

No, it is a polysaccharide that makes up the exoskeletons of arthropods.
