The major groups of arthropods are insects, crustaceans and arachnids.
There are not five clean cut classes of arthropoda. There are three classes under the subphylum Chelicerata, which are: Pycnogonida, Merostomata, and Arachnida. Then under the subphylum Mandibulata, there are three superclasses: Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. Myriapoda has four classes: Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda, and Symphyla. Crustacea have six classes: Ostracoda, Maxillopoda, Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Branchiopoda, and Malacostraca. The Hexapoda superclass has four classes: Collembola, Protura, Diplura, and Insecta.
No. Arthropoda is a phylum, containing the classes Insecta, Arachnida, Crustacea and Myriapoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes. So all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. ^^
Ants and all other insects are non-chordates. Insects belong to the subphylum arthropoda. Animals that are vertebrates are considered to be chordates.
Insects ARE a class, Insecta.(Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, Subphylum Hexapoda.) Spiders, also Arthropods, are in the class Arachnida, are readily differentiated from insects by virtue of having eight legs to the insects' six.
No. Insects are the the subphylum hexapoda and millipedes are in myriapoda.
Actually centipedes are not insects at all. Centipedes belong to the subphylum Myriapoda while insects are in the subphylum Hexapoda.
The major groups of arthropods are insects, crustaceans and arachnids.
Myriapoda
Under phylum Arthropoda are several subphyla including subphylum Hexapoda which contains class Insecta (the insects); and Myriapoda which contains class Chilipoda (the centipedes) and class Diplopoda (the millipedes).
The subphylum of millipedes and centipedes belong to the subphylum myriapoda. There are over 13,000 species that are terrestrial and they belong to the Animalia kingdom.
they are invertebrates that are part of the arachnid group
Along with centipedes, the millipedes belong to the Myriapoda subphylum of Arthropoda.
The uniramia subpyhlum was divided into three phyla groups. These groups include insects, which is the hexapoda group, the myriapoda group of millipedes and centipedes, and the onychophora group of velvet worms
Insecta is merely 1 class under the phylum arthropoda. The other classes are crustacea, arachnid, chilopoda, and diplopoda. Chilopoda and Diplopoda fit beneath the subphylum myriapoda.
Insects are definitely members of the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom is broken down into groups called Phyla. The Phylum insects are classified in is Arthropoda (root words arthro- (joint) and pod- (foot or leg) meaning "jointed leg"). Insects are further classified in Subphylum Hexapoda (root words hexa- (six) and pod- (feet or leg) meaning "six legs") and Class Insecta. Other arthropods include Subphylum Chelicerata with Class Arachnida (spiders and scorpions), Class Merostomata (horseshoe crabs), Subphylum Myriapoda with Class Chilopoda (centipedes) and Class Diplopoda (millipedes), Subphylum Crustacea with Class Malacostraca (lobsters, crabs, shrimp), just to give a few examples.
Myriapoda is a subphylum of arthropods. Examples of myriapoda are centipedes and millipedes so they live in all kinds of places all over the world, mostly in damp forests.
