Do plants have an exoskeleton?
Animals like insects, have exoskeletons-basically they have no bones, and only have tough,protective, often shell like skin. Animals like cats, dogs, horses, giraffes and and birds are all endoskeletons- they have bones, and those bones are internal (on the inside of the skin).
Why can insects adapt to pesticidesquickly give two reasons?
One reason is that the life cycle of most insects is very short. There may be 1-15 generations in a year (As opposed to 1 every 14-20ish years in humans). Another reason is many insects have hundreds to thousands of offspring every reproductive cycle. Let's assume we're talking about an insect with 10 generations per year, that they exist in a 1:1 male to female ratio (which is common in insects), that each mating pair can produce 1,000 eggs and that we start with 1 mating pair.
At generation 1, we have 1 mating pair. These 2 insects make 1000 babies.
At Generation 2 we have 500 mating pairs (1000/2 because of 1:1 ratio). These 500 mating pairs make 500x1000 (500,000) babies.
At Generation 3, which isn't even 6 months into the first year, we have 250,000 mating pairs that have 250000x1000 babies. Since each egg may contain mutations, you can see why insect populations can evolve quickly.
Does insects pee or go to the loo?
Of course! Contrary to popular belief, bugs do indeed use the bathrooms. After all, why would a bug just go to the bathroom where ever they please? Bugs - like humans, share a common need to use the bathroom. Bugs don't use regular human bathrooms, instead they build their own tiny bathrooms. Each species of bug builds different sized bathrooms. (an ant bathroom would never work for a tarantula) A regular bug bathroom consists of a urinal (for male bugs) and a toilet - (sometimes they build showers and sinks but this is a rarity) Bugs also use the bathroom up to 9 times per day!
Although I have researched the topic of bug bathrooms for over a decade, I am still discovering amazing new facts about bugs and their bathrooms. I hope I helped, and I hope you learned something new about bug bathrooms.

How can certain bugs walk on water?
Certain bugs, such as water striders, have long hydrophobic hairs on their legs that create a waterproof layer. This allows them to distribute their weight and take advantage of surface tension to walk on water without sinking. Their light body weight and leg shape also aid in staying afloat on the water's surface.
Ants do no prefer a diet of popcorn. However, ants are known scavengers and will eat almost anything they find.
Why can insects adapt so quickly to pesticides?
Ironically, from being exposed to the pesticide for a long period of time. Given a long enough timeframe, a insect species will evolve a natural resistance to a chemical through natural selection.
Insects quickly develop resistance to insecticides due to natural evolution. As their bodies are exposed to the chemicals, small changes are made until it no longer affects them over many generations.
some insects will have an adaptation that helps them survive and that they pass onto their offspring.
the insect population changes to include more and more resistant members
Answer:
This is evelution in action.
If the insects are exposed to a pesticide that only kills some of them, the only future generations come from resistant parents. If the application if pesticide continues, it weeds out non resistant individuals enhancing the resistence of subsequent generations.
