The Laboulbeniales [lah-bool-ben-yahl-es] order of fungi are parasites that feed exclusively on this anatomic structure, while the simplest organisms to possess this structure are the marine moss animals.
The Laboulbeniales [lah-bool-ben-yahl-es] order of fungi are parasites that feed exclusively on this anatomic structure, while the simplest organisms to possess this structure are the marine moss animals. The replacement of this structure uses a process called ecdysis [ek-DY-sis], and in terrestrial arthropods it is perforated by spiracles [SPEER-uh-kulz] to permit respiration. In many animals this structure is made of the complex sugar chitin [KY-tihn] and it is notable for being flexible only at the joints. Requiring continual molting and regrowth, name this hard outer covering of crustaceans and insects that support the body and takes the place of bones.
