Question
Chapter 45, Problem 1S
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether it would be better to make a space-exploration vehicle with a hydrostatic skeleton or an exoskeleton for a planet with gravity greater than Earth and why.
Introduction:
In hydrostatic skeleton, the animal’s body has a fluid-filled cavity. Contraction of this cavity helps in locomotion like in earthworms. However, in the animals with an exoskeleton, the body has a hard protective outer layer made of chitin called the exoskeleton like in insects.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas.
