An arthropod's exoskeleton performs all of the following functions except
a. production of gametes.
b. protection of internal organs.
c. support of the animal's body.
d. preventing loss of body water.

A. Production of gametes.

Explanation:

Arthropod exoskeleton is formed by chitin. Chitin is a carbohydrate that is part of the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeleton of arthropods. Exoskeleton gives protection to the internal organs due to its hardness. It also acts as a support of the body, it can be said that it is the analogous to the skeleton in humans and also prevents water from evaporating. Gametes are produced in the reproductive organs of arthropods.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c

explanation:

endo:

regulates body hormones, aldosterone, vasopressin

neural:

signal, regulates body using electric signals, reflex

endo has to do with hormones; aldosterone and vasopressin are both hormones. i also had this question and got it right : d
