Some crustaceans are omnivores.
What is the shedding process of a lobster called?
The shedding process of a lobster is called molting. During molting, the lobster sheds its hard exoskeleton in order to grow a new, larger one. This process allows lobsters to grow and regenerate damaged parts of their exoskeleton.

How did the discovery of nauplius larvae allow scientists to categorize barnacles and tongue worms as crustaceans?
The nauplius larvae share characteristic features with other crustaceans, such as possessing one eye and three pairs of appendages. By observing these larvae in barnacles and tongue worms, scientists could classify them as crustaceans based on these shared traits. This discovery helped to place barnacles and tongue worms within the larger group of crustaceans.
True or false Periodic molting allows hard-shelled crustaceans to grow in size?
True, that is the only way crustaceans can increase in size limited by their exoskeleton.
Is crustaceans a herbivore?

What is the distinct larval form known as in crustaceans?
The distinct larval form known in crustaceans is called a "nauplius." This early stage of development is characterized by a simple body structure with a single eye and two antennae, allowing it to swim in the water column. As crustaceans grow, they undergo several molts and transition through various larval stages, eventually developing into more complex forms.
Are all crustaceans an invertebrate?
