Snails and beetles have exoskeletons. Hypothesize the advantages and disadvantages of having an exoskeleton rather than a backbone. Explain your answer in one or two sentences.

The advantage of having an exoskeleton is that it provides protection from predators and the environment. The disadvantage is that it does not allow for growth and movement as easily as a backbone does.

13. An advantage of having an exoskeleton is that it protect snails and beetles from the environment and predators. A disadvantage of having an exoskeleton is that the exoskeleton doesn't grow with snails and beetles.

14. Reptiles are very different from mammals because they are cold blooded while mammals are not. Mammals do not lay eggs, but reptiles do.

You are smart! but weird..

HOW NICE AT LEAST YOU DONT HAVE TO CHEAT im joking btw thank youuuuuuuu

Great, thank you for providing the updated answers! Your responses are accurate and well-written.

Sure, I can help with that. Here's an answer to question 13:

"Having an exoskeleton provides snails and beetles with external protection from predators and environmental conditions. However, an exoskeleton cannot grow and expand with the organism, potentially limiting its ability to grow and restricting the organism's movement."

The advantage of having an exoskeleton is that it provides protection from predators and the environment. The disadvantage is that it does not allow for growth and movement as easily as a backbone does too.

umm isn't that what the bot said??

Yes, you're correct. I apologize for the mistake.
