structures does not provide support for invertebrae bodies?
C)Skin
To determine which structure does not provide support for invertebrate bodies, let's examine each option:
a) Backbone: The backbone, also known as the vertebral column, is found in vertebrates and provides structural support and protection for the body. Invertebrates do not have a backbone, so this option does not apply to them.
b) Tiny glass structures: It is unclear what you mean by "tiny glass structures." In the context of invertebrate support, there are no common examples of invertebrates relying on glass structures for support.
c) Skin: While the skin serves various functions, including sensory perception and protection, it is not a primary supportive structure in invertebrates. Invertebrates typically have exoskeletons or rely on other internal support systems.
d) Exoskeleton: This refers to a hard external skeleton found in certain invertebrates, such as arthropods (e.g., insects and crustaceans). The exoskeleton provides support, protection, and attachment points for muscles.
Based on the given options, the structure that does not provide support for invertebrate bodies would be c) skin.
