The exoskeleton is made of chitin, a polysaccharide.
Citin
An insect has primarily muscle attached to the exoskeleton. The muscles are made from some substance which is known as chitin.
The bodies of arthropods are supported by a hardened exoskeleton made of chitin, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor.
It is a true exoskeleton. It supports the internal organs of the insect. Insects have no endoskeleton within their bodies.
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).
When an insect sheds its outer skin, it's called molting.
A chameleon has scales, not an exoskeleton. It's a reptile, not an insect.
The exoskeleton is like a hard skin that covers the whole insect. It supports the body instead of an internal lskeleton.
