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).

Descibe three ways in which animals support their bodies?

Animals support their bodies through skeletal structures, such as bones or exoskeletons, which provide shape and support. They also rely on muscular systems to move and maintain their body position.

Why can't plants support their own weight?

Plants are not able to support their own weight because they don't have an internal skeleton like animals do. Instead, they rely on external support structures like the cell wall, interlocking branches and roots, and external support from other plants or structures. Plants also lack muscles and therefore the ability to actively move and contract to support their own weight. The main reasons why plants can't support their own weight are: No internal skeleton Reliance on external support Lack of musclesWithout these key components, plants are unable to develop the strength and resilience to support their own weight.

The reason why some animals do and some don't is because of necessity. On land most animals have either an internal skeleton (with a backbone) or an external skeleton (beetles with shells). Underwater, however, animals like jellyfish and octopi have no need for backbones, because there is less of a pull from gravity. They have no real need for a backbone, so they don't grow one.
