Which is NOT a function of ordinary insect cuticle?

Question

a) oxygen transfer

b) physical support

c) water conservation

d) hormone production

e) sensory organ base

f) energy storage

Answer 1

f

oxygen transfer, yeah

physical support obviously

water conservation, of course

hormone production: well, secretions coming from skin/cuticle? yeah

sensory organ base – touch, hearing, sight, yeah

just never heard of an insect eating its shell after moulting it, so that's the one I'd go with

Answer 2

Cuticle is impervious to the flow of water or gases across it.

Being nitrogen containing polysaccharide it has the potential to provide the  energy, although this does not happen.

You can go for A

Answer 3

energy storage
