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: -Arthropods also have a hard exoskeleton, like you might see on a crab or on a beetle. They don’t have bones inside their bodies like humans. Instead, their ‘bones’ are on the outside, like a suit of armour, which is why it is called an exoskeleton.

Detailed explanation-3: -An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal’s body. An exoskeleton is a key feature of arthropods, a category of animals that includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hardened components that are formed are called sclerites. These may be the plates that form the protective armor of the exoskeleton, or they may take the form of mechanical body parts such as claws, legs, joints, radula and wings.
