Differences.

Exoskeleton

1. Hard part that lies outside of the body

2. Develops from ectoderm

3. Composed mainly of hard non-living material called chitin.

Endoskeleton

1. Hard part that lies inside the body

2. Develops from endoderm

3. Composed of living material i.e. bone tissue

Similarities

Both endoskeleton and exoskeleton play a protective role. The endoskeleton protects internal body organs of the organism. The exoskeleton protects the soft body parts and appendages of the organism.

Both endoskeleton and exoskeleton provide structural support and shape to the concerned organism.

They're similar because they're both skeletons. The difference is one is inside the body and the other is out. (Endoskeleton - "endo" means in. Exoskeleton - "ex" mean out.) I hope this helps!

What pH did you estimate for ammonia using the pHydrion paper?

klio [65]

Answer: Between 8 and 14

Explanation: Ammonia is an inorganic compound of formula NH₃. Also known as ammonium hydroxide, it behaves as a weak base.

pHydrion paper is a chemical test indicator, i.e., it indicates the pH of a substance.

If inserted in Ammonia, pHydrion will indicate a range of 8 to 14 because in pH scale, indication of base is over 8 and up to 14. The exact number depends on the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance.
