Question

What is the function of the arthropod exoskeleton?
a. The presence of an exoskeleton has given arthropods a good fossil record, because hard parts fossilize more readily than do soft tissues.
b. It has no well-established function. (Trilobites had an exoskeleton, and they went extinct.)
c. It provides protection and functions in locomotion.
d. It makes growth by molting possible.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here we have a question asking which of the following savings about arthropod exoskeleton is incorrect. A. It is made up of mostly Children. This is correct. B It provides support and protection to the body. This is correct. See it covers and protects the internal ball structures. This is correct. D It grows in size as the animal grows. This is incorrect. The exoskeleton is a hard outer layer and it is non living so it cannot grow bigger by small excrement. So animals with an exoskeleton must molt or shed their exoskeleton and wait for the new exoskeleton underneath to harden. So our answer here is D thank you for watching. Bye.
