land animals need a way to keep from drying out. Arthropods may have beenthe first animals to live on land. Thire exoskellitons probely enabled them to do because they keep the arthropods from drying out.

∙ 12y agoAn exoskeleton confers several advantages. It acts as a mechanical protection against enemies. But importantly, it serves as the attachment for muscles, which gives a much wider range of movement. Contrast the movement ability of say a spider, with that of a caterpillar or inch worm.

What is a live anthropod?
A live anthropod would be any non-dead human. Anthropods (bipedal humans or humanoids) should not be confused with arthropods; Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. Some arthropods are no longer living (extinct), like trilobites and the class Marrellomorpha.
What kind of environment does an arthropod live in?
arthropods can exploit nearly every niche on Earth due to their diversity.
Why does an arthropod waterproof?
All arthropods have an external skeleton- an exoskeleton. Some exoskeletons are hard, like that of a lobster. It is made out of chitin. Some exoskeletons are leathery, like that of a caterpillar. Both types are waterproof. The exoskeleton keeps the animal from drying out. This characteristic gave arthropods the ability to live on land. http://edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_54_61.html
What is the major characteristic of an arthropod?
There are 4 characteristics that are shared by all Arthropods... 1.) Jointed Limbs 2.) A segmented body with specialzed parts 3.) An Exoskeleton 4.) Well developed nervous system. P.S... I found this answer out of my Science Book! ;)
What are five types of arthropods that live in the ocean?
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages, more than three out of four of all animals are arthropods. Arthropods found in the ocean include:crustaceans - crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Microscopic plankton and Branchiopoda - Cephalocarida - Malacostraca Maxillopoda - Ostracoda
What charateristics do all arthropods share?
ARTHROPODA AND ANNELIDA have organ system level of organization , have bilateral symmetry , are triploblastic , are heterotrophic , have complete digestive system and also show metameric segmentation .
Where do zebra live near in the savanna?
they live in the grass lands in the savanna and there strips help them to clamaflarge in the grasss
Why can't we study arthropods at phylum level?
because arthropods are adapted to live almost everywhere
Do arthropods live on every continent?
Yes they do!
