Chromatophores are spots that change size to change the color of the squid by stretching out the Chromatophores by the muscles.

A frog's chromatophore is a specialized cell that contains pigment granules which allow the frog to change its skin color to match its surroundings and help with camouflage. These cells are controlled by the frog's nervous system and can expand or contract to alter the color and pattern of the frog's skin.
It is actually incorrect to refer to a chromophore as having one shape. There are 4 different shapes of chromatophores, each shape depending on the concentration of the coloured pigment present within the chromatophore itself. The shapes are referred to as: Punctate Puncto-stellate Stellate Reticulo-stellate Reticulate Punctate describes a chromatophore which is roughly circular in shape and represents the fully concentrated state of a chromatophore, thus having its coloured pigment concnetrated. on the other hand, reticulate appears more or less as a network, this showing the most dispersed condition of the pigmented material within the chromatophore. stellate shows the middle condition between the two extremes, as do puncto-stellate and reticulo-stellate.
The squid will change color if it is rubbed!!!! so that way it can't be seen by its predators!!
No, the dispersal of pigment occurs in specific chromatophore cells containing pigment granules called melanosomes. Each type of chromatophore (melanophores, xanthophores, and erythrophores) controls different colors and respond to various stimuli. This allows for intricate color changes and camouflage in animals.
A xanthophore is a xanthochrome containing chromatophore, a pigment-bearing cell found in certain fish, reptiles, and other species.
Chromatophores are the cells responsible for the cuttlefish's ability to blend in with its surroundings. These cells contain pigments that can be expanded or contracted to change the cuttlefish's color and pattern, helping it camouflage effectively. Additionally, iridophores and leucophores in the skin can further enhance the cuttlefish's camouflage by reflecting and scattering light.
Two external adaptations for a squids predatory life are that it pushes ink to blind predator some have venom camouflage- (chromatophore and iridocyte) jet propulsion.
the purpose of this is to have a purpose
What is the purpose of this sentence?I did not do that on purpose.
Opinions vary as to the purpose of the best sentence for the use of the word 'purpose'. This serves no purpose. I reached out to the porpoise on purpose.
aesthetic purpose is the purpose of the asthetical question or answer
