jointed appendages.
The category (taxon) for arthropods is called a phylum, a major division in the classification scheme for living things. Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and jointed appendages.
A grasshopper has six legs, so its major group is Insecta.
Crayfish are classified as arthropods, because of their characteristic segmented bodies, chitinous exoskeleton, and joint appendages.
No, at least not in the backbone sense. Arthropods have their skeleton on the outside (exoskeleton); spines or vertebral columns are characteristic of vertebrates under a different phylum - Chordata, including fish, birds, mammals, etc.
Yes, arthropods have to moult in order to increase in size, because their exoskeleton is rigid and inhibits growth. The process is called ecdysis and is not limited only to arthropods; it is a characteristic of their clade, ecdysozoa, which includes nematodes and other phyla.
The presence of segmented bodies with jointed appendages is the characteristic that most distinguishes arthropods from other invertebrates. This feature allows arthropods to exhibit a wide range of movement and adaptability in their environments.
Yes, phylum arthropoda (the arthropods) are defined and classified by virtue of this very characteristic, their jointed appendages.
Yes arthropods do that is a main characteristic of arthropods along with the fact that they are segmented coelomates that have jointed appendages and an exoskeleton.
crustaceans
Arthropods are named for their jointed legs, with "arthro" meaning joint and "pod" meaning foot. This characteristic is a defining feature of this diverse group of invertebrates, which includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
Yes, lobsters are arthropods. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, crabs, and shrimp. Lobsters have hard exoskeletons, jointed legs, and segmented bodies characteristic of arthropods.
Mollusks compose of the large phylum of invertebrate animals known as the Mollusca. Mollusks have a mantle, mollusks invertebrate. Arthropods have jointed appendages, arthropods have segmented bodies
Bees are classified as arthropods because of their characteristic segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal with an exoskeleton , a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
The presence or absence of a nucleus is the major characteristic that classifies a cell as either prokaryotic (lacking a nucleus) or eukaryotic (containing a nucleus). Eukaryotic cells also typically have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
An arthropod would be characterized by a segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
