To analyze:
The characteristics that has hard outer covering that gives support.
Introduction :
Different animals have different features in their feeding process, development of their body, and the features that support the body structure. Some of the animals are invertebrates and it involves all the animals that have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is the outer coverage of the body, it is the tough or hard outer cover, it provides support to the soft tissue of the body, avoid loss of water, and also give protection against predators. The endoskeleton is the internal covering of some of the vertebrates. It includes sea stars and sea urchins; they are made up of calcium carbonate, cartilage, etc.
