eksosoomide
Eksosoomide, also known as exoskeletons, are rigid external structures that provide support and protection to certain organisms. They are found in a variety of animals, including arthropods, mollusks, and some vertebrates. Exoskeletons are typically composed of chitin, a complex carbohydrate, and are shed periodically as the organism grows. This process, known as molting, allows for the expansion of the organism's body size.
Arthropods, such as insects, crustaceans, and arachnids, are the most well-known for their exoskeletons. These exoskeletons
Mollusks, such as snails and clams, also possess exoskeletons, although they are typically internal and made
In some vertebrates, such as certain fish and reptiles, exoskeletons are present in the form of scales
The study of exoskeletons and their functions is an active area of research in biology and zoology.
