What are some advantages and disadvantages of having an exoskeleton?

Hello,

Some advantages are:

1. They have jointed appendages, allowing for more movement.

2. It helps prevent the organism from drying out.

3. They help protect the organism from physical damage.

Disadvantages:

1. Exoskeletons must be shed, leaving the organism vulnerable.

2. Exoskeletons cannot grow.

3. Extra sensory organs are required for optimal function.

Hope this was helpful!

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
