Is an arthropod warm blooded or cold blooded?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cnidarians do not have a circulatory system. Different parts of the body receive nutrients not via a stream of blood but through diffusion from seawater into their tissues. They are neither cold, nor warm-blooded - they have no blood.

How does the characteristics of an insect different from an arthropod?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An insect is an arthropod. Arthropods are a phylum of animals characterized by their jointedappendages, segmented body's, and their exoskeletons, so an insect, arachnid, crustacean, etc. Insects are just part of the larger group the arthropods, but insects are characterized from other classes of arthropods by their six legs, compound eyes, one pair of antennae, and three segmented body (Head, thorax, abdomen).

Yes, lobsters are one of the creatures that are capable of regenerating limbs. Also, lobsters have been known to cut off their own limbs as a survival mechanism too.

What are two characteristics of chitin that make it a good material for exoskeleton and wings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chitin has two notably good qualities as an exoskeleton. Since it is a type of protein, it is relatively easy for arthropods to make. And it is quite tough. Its properties are similar to the protein keratin, which is used by mammals for making hair, nails, and horns.

Are arthropods unicellular?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. A unicellular organism is an organism made up of ONE CELL, so they're all microscopic. Microscopic means that you can't see it it without a microscope. And you can see a sea urchin, so it is not microscopic, so it's not unicellular.

What are some key features of arthropods?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the phylumArthropoda(from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos"foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate. The rigid cuticle inhibits growth, so arthropods replace it periodically by molting. The arthropodbody plan consists of repeated segments, each with a pair of appendages. It is so versatile that they have been compared to Swiss Army knives, and it has enabled them to become the most species-rich members of all ecological guilds in most environments. They have over a million described species, making up more than 80% of all described living animal species, and are one of only two animal groups that are very successful in dry environments - the other being the amniotes. They range in size from microscopic planktonup to forms a few meters long.
