Which of the following is not associated to exoskeleton of arthropods?

Correct answer: B. Secreted by endodermis

  • A. Non-living
  • B. Secreted by endodermis
  • C. Acellular
  • D. Polysaccharide in nature

Explanation

The exoskeleton is secreted by a layer of cells called the epidermis, which is located beneath the existing exoskeleton. As the arthropod grows, it molts or sheds its old exoskeleton in a process called ecdysis and secretes a new, larger exoskeleton to accommodate its increased size.
