Difference between Animal and Exoskeleton

Animal vs. Exoskeleton

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. An exoskeleton (from Greek έξω, éxō "outer" and σκελετός, skeletós "skeleton") is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton (endoskeleton) of, for example, a human.

Similarities between Animal and Exoskeleton

Animal and Exoskeleton have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arachnid, Bivalvia, Brachiopod, Bryozoa, Burgess Shale, Cambrian explosion, Clam, Crustacean, Ecdysis, Echinoderm, Ediacaran biota, Fossil, Gastropoda, Hydrostatic skeleton, Hydrothermal vent, Insect, Muscle, Ordovician, Phylum, Protein, Snail, Sponge, Tendon.

Arachnid

Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals (arthropods), in the subphylum Chelicerata.

Bivalvia

Bivalvia, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts.

Brachiopod

Brachiopods, phylum Brachiopoda, are a group of lophotrochozoan animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalve molluscs.

Ediacaran biota

The Ediacaran (formerly Vendian) biota consisted of enigmatic tubular and frond-shaped, mostly sessile organisms that lived during the Ediacaran Period (ca. 635–542 Mya).
