Shedding external covering refers to the process in which an animal, typically reptiles or arthropods, molts or sheds its outer layer of skin or exoskeleton to allow for growth or to remove parasites. This shedding process helps the animal to maintain its health and vitality.
The antonym of exoskeleton is endoskeleton. An endoskeleton is an internal skeleton found in vertebrates, whereas an exoskeleton is an external skeleton found in arthropods and some other invertebrates.
Animals with skeletons on the outside are called exoskeletons. This external skeleton provides support and protection for the animal's body. Examples include arthropods like insects and crustaceans.
A conch is a tropical marine mollusc with a spiral external shell. An endoskeleton is an internal skeleton, which a conch doesn't have.

External, meaning outside. Thus, Outside(External) Skeleton.
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
External - Exoskeleton .
No, we have our bones inside our bodies.
On the outside. For example, wasps have an external skeleton.
Molting
nothing.
A creature with an external skeleton is said to have an exo-skeleton.
No beetles have an exoskeleton or external skeleton not an internal skeleton (bones).
No, if you have an external skeleton, you don't have a backbone/vertebrae. Having vertebrae is the single qualifying factor for being a vertebrate.
A crab has an external hard shell, and is an invertebrate.
