Question

The exoskeleton of arthropods is made up from which material?

• A. Chitin
• B. Cuticle
• C. Suberin
• D. Mucopolysaccharides

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chitin

• Arthropod bodies are supported by external bones or hardened exoskeleton which is made up of chitin.
  
• It is produced by their skin which hardens to form a protective outer covering.
  
• The exoskeleton is a non-living substance that provides protection and prevents water loss from their body.
• So, the correct answer is 'Chitin'.
