KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Insects have exoskeletons made of a substance called chitin. The exoskeletons of crabs, lobsters, shrimp, spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions, and related animals are also made of chitin. While exoskeletons are hard and stiff, they also have joints, or bendable sections. These joints allow the animals to move easily.

Detailed explanation-2: -They do not have an internal skeleton like we do, known as an endoskeleton. Rather, the outside of their bodies is their skeleton, an exoskeleton. Insect cuticle contains chitin, long chains of glucose molecules which when crosslinked provide rigidity allowing it to function as an exoskeleton.
