Arthropods commonly have: * Segmented bodies, both internally and externally * They are bilaterally symmetrical * An arthropod's body is covered with an exoskeleton composed mainly of chitin in a protein matrix * The exoskeleton may also have some composition of lipids, other proteins, and calcium carbonate * Body segments sometimes have jointed appendages * As arthropods grow, they often lose their exoskeleton by a process of molting, known as ecdysis * Most arthropods have a pair of compound eyes * They respire through the body surface or by means of gills, tracheae, or book lungs * Most arthropods lay eggs, and the young develop through a process of metamorphosis
Arthropods have segmented bodies, jointed appendages, an exoskeleton made of chitin, and bilateral symmetry. They also have a system of open circulatory system and a ventral nerve cord. Additionally, they exhibit a wide range of specialized adaptations for different environments and lifestyles.
This is all what key features that arthropods have such as:
1. Jointed legs
2. Hard, outside skeleton
3. Live in water and on land
4. Cannot lay eggs.

Phylum Arthropoda is distinguished by the following characters .
1 : Their Appendages are jointed .
2 : Their body is segmented .
3 : Their body is covered by Chitinous exoskeleton .
4 : Their body is tagmatised i.e. they possess head , thorax abdomen or cephalothorax and abdomen .
5 : They have Malpighian tubules for excretion .
6 : They have ventral nerve cord .
7 : Examples Insects , spiders .
- segmented legs (that´s what their name means) and body.
- distinct mouthparts made out of modified legs. (these guys are all about legs.)
- exoskeleton replaced through molting.
Not compound eyes as Spiders don´t have these.
Phylum Arthropoda exhibits primarily heterotrophic nutrition, obtaining nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Most arthropods are classified as omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores depending on their feeding habits. Some arthropods also engage in parasitic or symbiotic relationships to obtain nutrients.
some of the major characteristics of the phylum are a shared body plan, embryonic development patterns, and specific molecular sequences.
Animals in the arthopada phylum 3 major characteristics. They have three body parts, a tougher exoskeleton, and have jointed legs.
Phylum Arthropoda - plants: Arthropods are a diverse group of invertebrates that include insects, spiders, and crustaceans, but they are not plants. Phylum Chordata - fungi: Chordates are animals that possess a notochord at some stage in their development, and fungi belong to a separate kingdom entirely. Phylum Porifera - vertebrates: Poriferans, or sponges, are simple multicellular animals that lack tissues and organs, and are not vertebrates.
Phylum Pisces includes all fish species. Some common characteristics of fish include having gills for respiration, a swim bladder for buoyancy control, scales for protection, and fins for locomotion. Fish are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature varies with the environment.

Distinguishing characteristics of the phylum annelida are conspicuous metameric segmentation, they are triploblastic, coelomate, bilaterally symmetrical, tubular bodies (worms), they have a nervous system and some sense organs
No. An Iguana is in Phylum Cordata and a scorpion is in Phylum Arthropoda. It is virtually impossible to mate between Phyla.
bilateral symmetry is not the characteristic of a single animal or phylum. phylum platyhelminthes, phylum nematoda, phylum annelida, phylum arthropoda, phylum mollusca, phylum echinodermata in the larval stage and vertebrates are bilaterally symetrical
Fire ants are not chordates, because to be in the phylum Chordata you must have some sort of spinal column. Fire ants, having and exoskeleton and being in the family insecta would have to be in the phylum Arthropoda.
Crabs are crustaceans, and all crustaceans are invertebrates. They have an exoskeleton, with no backbone or spinal cord. They belong to the Phylum Arthropoda, which includes organisms such as insects, Spiders, centipedes and millipedes, and crustaceans. Vertebrates include only some members of the Phylum Chordata: specifically, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
Invertebrates have nucleated cells and are thus eukaryotes (Domain Eukarya in the Empire of Life). They are multicellular and heterotrophic and thus animalian (Kingdom Animalia). Edward O. Wilson is what one calls a 'splitter' in taxonomy and has split the animal kingdom into about 85 phyla. Most other taxonomists think there are somewhere in the thirties in the realm of 'How many phyla are there ?' Some invertebrate animal phyla are: Phylum Porifera, Phylum Cnidaria, Phylum Ctenophora, Phylum Platyhelminthes, Phylum Annelida, Phylum Mollusca, Phylum Arthropoda, Phylum Echinodermata, Phylum Hemichordata, Phylum Nematoda, Phylum Rotifera, Phylum Kinorhyncha, Phylum Nemertea, Phylum Bryozoa
Serbians have a variety of distinguishing characteristics, however these are generalizations. Some of these include tall, thin people, dark skin, as well as light eyes.
Organisms within the same phylum share certain basic characteristics, but they can vary widely in terms of size, shape, behavior, and ecological niche. While there are similarities due to shared ancestry, the diversity within a phylum can be quite large.
Members of the class, Insecta have:two pairs of wings,three pairs of jointed legs,tri-segmented bodies: head, thorax, and abdomen,hard exoskeletons,a pair of compound eyes,a pair of antennae,bilateral symmetry.Additional Information:The first three characteristics listed, might be considered distinguishing. While insects display all these characteristics, not all are distinguishing. Humans, for instance have bilateral symmetry and a pair of eyes.There are other, more subtle characteristics. Also, there are some apparent exceptions that can be observed at certain stages of development. The process of metamorphosis that insects undergo in their development to adulthood, explain these.Insects belong to the Phylum: Arthropoda, Subphylum: Mandibulata, and Class: Insecta. They are the most diverse class of animals and the most numerous, by individual and by species. More than a million species have been described. Estimates range from 5 to 9 million, of species that have yet to be discovered and described.
Vertebrates are characterized by having a backbone or spinal column made up of individual bones called vertebrae. They also have a well-developed brain enclosed in a skull, a closed circulatory system with a heart that pumps blood, and paired appendages such as limbs or fins. Vertebrates typically have a protective outer covering, whether it be fur, feathers, scales, or skin.
There does not seem to be a well-known taxonomic class spelled Pedes.. but there is a genus Pedius under Arthropoda, which are beetles in the family Carabidae. The Greek -ped or some variants like -pede or -pod reflects the phylum name's origin, from "foot" or "leg" - arthropoda thus meaning, jointed legs (appendages).
