Answer:

An exoskeleton.

Explanation:

Tough outer shell of many insects is known as exoskeleton that represents an external skeleton. The exoskeleton provides protection and support to the insects body as they lack an internal skeletal system as higher organisms. In insects, it is made up of chitin.

Exoskeleton also plays role in sensing, feeding, excretion, and protection against desiccation in land insects.

Thus, the correct word to be filled in the blank is 'exoskeleton.'

What term is used to describe 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids chemically combined?
hjlf

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.
