Card 10 / 20:
Describe a potential advantage and disadvantage of the cuticle of ecdysozoans.
An advantage is that it is a tough covering that is protective against adverse environments, and predators and parasites. A disadvantage is that it must be shed and regrown for the animal to grow, which requires energy and makes the animal vulnerable during this process.
