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 does endoskeleton allows vertebrates to grow larger than animals without endoskeletons?

Endoskeletons provide internal support and protection for the body, allowing vertebrates to support greater body mass as they grow. Endoskeletons also enable efficient muscle attachment and movement, which facilitate larger body sizes in vertebrates compared to animals without endoskeletons. Additionally, endoskeletons can continue to grow and adapt as the vertebrate grows, accommodating the increased size of the animal.


How does the animal hatched out of the largest egg compare in size to the animal hatched out of the smallest egg at birth and later when fully grown?

The animal hatched out of the largest egg will typically be larger in size compared to the animal hatched out of the smallest egg at birth. As they grow, this size difference may increase significantly depending on the species. For example, a bird hatched from a larger egg may end up much bigger than a bird hatched from a smaller egg.


Do crystals grow larger during metamorphism?

During metamorphism, crystals can grow larger through a process called recrystallization, where existing minerals rearrange their atoms to form larger crystals. This can happen due to changes in temperature, pressure, or the presence of fluids in the rock. So, yes, crystals can grow larger during metamorphism.

Which is the largest a plant cell an animal cell or a bacterial cell?

Plant cells are generally larger than animal cells, and both are significantly larger than bacterial cells.

Bacterial cells are much smaller than both plant and animal cells.
