Note; Crustaceans are arthropods. :P

Are reptiles arthropods?
No. All arthopods belong to the phylum Arthropoda, while all reptiles (along with other vertebrates) belong to the phylum Chordata
What makes lobsters different from other fish?
Lobsters are not fish. Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, along with other backboned animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and lobsters are arthropods (phylum Arthropoda :P), having no backbone and being completely unrelated (very much related to insects in fact). Lobsters have ten jointed legs and a hard carapace.
Is a bee a arthropod or mollusc?
Bumblebees are insects, and all insects are arthropods.
Is a conch an arthropod?
No, the conch is not an arthropod (phylum Arthropoda) but rather is a gastropod mollusc (phylum Mollusca) along with other sea snails, land snails, bivalves, etc. Aquatic arthropods include creatures like crabs, lobsters and shrimp.
Is a sponge an arthropoda?
Arthropods and sponges are two major divisions in taxonomy called Phyla (singular, phylum). Phylum Arthropoda ("joint appendages"), or the arthropods, includes such creatures as insects, spiders, millipedes, crustaceans, etc. Phylum Porifera ("pore-bearing") are the sponges.
What is the largest phylum?
The largest phylum in the animal kingdom is Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other related organisms. It is estimated that over 80% of described animal species belong to this phylum.
What group of arthropods are snails in?
Snails aren't arthropods, they're molluscs. Other phylum.
What kingdom are arthropods in?
Arthropods are in the Kingdom Animalia. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other related groups.
What are the roundworms ancestor?
There is some debate about what other groups the nematodes, or roundworms, are most closely related to, and therefore from what group they descended. Nematodes are classified as being in the clade Ecdysozoa which also includes arthropods. If nematodes are truly closely related to arthropods then they share a common ancestor.
Are reptiles arthropods?
No. All arthopods belong to the phylum Arthropoda, while all reptiles (along with other vertebrates) belong to the phylum Chordata
Are snails arthropods?
No. Slugs are part of the phylum Mollusca (family Gastropoda), which isn't even a closely related. Other members of the mollusk phylum include octopi, squids, clams, oysters, slugs, snails, etc. Arachnids (phylum Arthropoda, family arachnida) include spiders, scorpions, vinegaroons/tail less whip scorpions, pseudo scorpions, and mites/ticks.
What are other animals in arthropods?
Phylum arthropoda contains a vast and diverse group of animals. Spiders, centipedes, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, millipedes, and many others are arthropods.
What kind of vertebrate is a spider?
Spiders are arachnids which are within the animal phylum of Arthropods. Some other arthropods are insects and other "bugs," crabs, lobsters, and even barnacles.
What is phylum made up of?
Phylum is one of the ranks given to biological entities i.e life. It is one below Kingdom and one above class For example A Tyrannosaurus Rex is in the kingdom of Animalia, the Phylum Chordata and the class dinosauria. (Chordata includes all vertebrate life and some very closely related invertibrates) A Triceratops is also in the kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata and the class dinosauria. T-Rex and Triceratops are both dinosaurs and are closely related. A mammal such as a kangaroo or human is in the kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata but are in a different class called mammalia. We are not dinosaurs but are share common features such as a backbone. An insect such as a cockroach are in the kingdom Animalia but the phylum is Arthopoda along with spiders, centepedes and many other forms of invertibrate. We are more closely related to dinosaurs than house flies. An oak tree is in the kingdom Plantae.
What other arthropods are related to the spiders?
Scorpions, obviously, but also harvestmen (not Aranea, other group more closely related to scorpions), and even horseshoe crabs.
What makes lobsters different from other fish?
Lobsters are not fish. Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, along with other backboned animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and lobsters are arthropods (phylum Arthropoda :P), having no backbone and being completely unrelated (very much related to insects in fact). Lobsters have ten jointed legs and a hard carapace.
What are the characteristics of the groups of organisms called arthropods?
The taxonomic grouping of arthropods is called a phylum. Among other traits, arthropods are characterized by joint appendages and segmented bodies covered by an exoskeleton made of chitin. They have an internal body cavity called a hemocoel and an open circulatory system.
