What is a exoskeleton?
An exoskeleton is a skeleton formed outside the body. Like the shell of an animal.
What is a exoskeleten?
The external feature that supports an animals body in contrast to an endoskeleton like humans have. Examples of animals that have exoskeletons are crabs, lobsters, insects and spiders.
Do spiders have exoskeletons?
yes, pretty much all bugs do. Spiders are cheliceriforms, which placed them under arthropods. All athropods, which include hexapods (flying insects) crustaceans (lobsters shrimps crabs) cheliceriforms (horseshoe crabs and spiders) and myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes) have an exoskeleton. Technically they are not bugs nor insects they are arachnids.
What animals have exoskelatons?
Crabs, bees, ants, spiders, millipedes. turtles, tortoises, and lobsters all have exoskeletons.
What animals are arthropods?
Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. They include such examples as centipedes, krill, prawns, crayfish, insects, spiders, and many others.
What important compound in the exoskeleton of insects?
Chitin is the polysaccharide that gives the insect's exoskeleton the resistance to bending resulting in breaking or cracking. It is also a prime compound and component found in the shells lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish.
What lives in water and has a exoskeleton?

What things have exoskeletons?
There are many different examples of insects and animals with an exoskeleton. Like ants, bees, and snails.
How an animal with an exoskeleton?

Why did arthropods become extinct?

Insects and lobsters are arthropods?
Yes they are.
What is the most abundant polysaccharides on earth?
Chitin, a polysaccharide made of N-acetylglucosamine molecules. It makes up the exoskeletons of all arthropods, including insects; arachnids, such as Spiders and ticks; and crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp.
Do chameleons have an endoskeleton or an exoskeleton?
Amphibians have endoskeletons because their skeletons are inside their bodies. Exoskeleton animals have their skeletons on the outside: such as crabs, lobsters, insects, ect. (Basically an exoskeleton animal "crunches" when it is stepped on. Weird, I know but it will help you remember.) :)
What is artaopods?
I think you mean arthropods? An arthropod is an invertebrate that has an exoskeleton (a skeleton on the outside), joined appendages, and a segmented body. Many examples are horseshoe crabs (which aren't actually crabs at all - they are most related to spiders), lobsters, and crabs, spiders, and other insects.
What animals they have pincers?
Some animals that have pincers are lobsters, crabs, and earwig. There are also insects called pincer bugs that have pincers.
