the answer is metamorphosis.
Yes, they do. Molting is the process by which insects grow. Generally accomplished through the early years of the insect's existence, molting allows the body of the insect to expand under controlled and protected conditions. In comparison, our (human) bodies expand with the growing of our bones and muscles as we age. Insects, on the other hand, utilize what is called an exoskeleton. This exoskeleton is basically their underlying bone structure that is located on the outside of their bodies with corresponding organs and muscles located underneath this hard shell. So in order for the insect to grow - i.e. increase in size - the insect must shed its current skin in favor of the new skin underneath. This process is known in the insect world was molting. To undergo the process of molting, an insect must begin to take in air or water by either swallowing it in naturally or raising its internal blood pressure. This instigates the process of molting that begins. The result is a soft, expandable exoskeleton suitable for further, albeit limited, growth. This process is repeated several times during the life span of an insect depending on the species. The new exoskeleton will eventually harden and retain the original coloring of the insect as it matures and is exposed to the elements and everyday wear-and-tear. Depending on the species, molting can actually occur about 5 to 60 times in the life span of an insect and is generally regarded as one of the most vulnerable processes that an insect can go through. Yet this process is naturally required by insects to continue to grow into a full adult stage. Not surprisingly, molting is not limited to insect species alone as even spiders and snakes undergo the procedure as needed.
Insects are defined by certain characteristics such as having six legs, three body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen), a pair of antennae, and usually wings. Additionally, they undergo a process of metamorphosis during their life cycle, typically starting as eggs, then developing into larvae, pupae, and finally adults.
Bees are born in a honeycomb within a beehive. The queen bee lays eggs in the honeycomb cells, and the larvae hatch from these eggs. They undergo a transformation process inside the cells before emerging as adult bees.
They do not.
The insect at this stage is likely a newly-hatched larva or caterpillar. It will undergo various stages of development before transforming into its adult form. It is important to identify the specific species to better understand its life cycle and habits.
Yes. Most stories feature protagonists who undergo some sort of transformation or growth. The events of the plot may make them realize that their original issues are not really problems. For example, if the protagonist is a girl who seeks popularity becomes popular and realizes how vacuous it makes her, she may change her point of view and decide to ditch the popularity because she "lost herself" in the process. This is an emotional transformation. Metamorphosis by Kafka is about a protagonist who literally becomes an insect. This is about a physical transformation.
yes they do
yes. the larvae is a life phase for those insects that undergo metamorphosis.
Chemicals that don't undergo any transformation are called catalysts and speed up a given equation. But as they don't actually get changed in the process of the reaction, this is why they have a special name.
The chemicals that result from a chemical reaction are called products. They are formed when reactants undergo a transformation during the reaction process. The reactants are the initial substances that participate in the reaction, while the products are the new substances produced.

Chrysalises are compared with bats because both undergo a process of metamorphosis. Chrysalises are the pupal stage of a butterfly's life cycle, during which the caterpillar undergoes a transformation into a butterfly. Bats also undergo a transformation, but from being wingless pups to flying mammals. Both chrysalises and bats represent significant changes in form and function in their respective life cycles.
Bacteria can undergo transformation, a process where they take up genetic material from their surroundings, such as fragments of DNA from other bacteria. This acquired DNA can then be incorporated into the bacterium's own genome, potentially leading to genetic variation and adaptation to new environmental conditions.
no
A substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction is called a reactant. Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction that undergo a process of transformation to yield products.
The process of an insect transforming inside a cocoon is called metamorphosis.
