Q. Animals with Chitinous exoskeleton are ____:
Answer: Insects
Notes: Chitin is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulas of molluscs, and the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. Combined with calcium carbonate, as in the shells of Crustacean and molluscs, chitin produces a much stronger composite for protection.
