Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chitin and the cuticle provide a waterproof barrier that reduces water loss from the insect's surface. A small surface area/volume relationship may also help reduce water loss, but it is not as significant as the role of chitin and the cuticle. A proteinaceous epidermis and tracheae and spiracles are not directly related to water loss prevention from the surface.
