Yes they are. They have something called an exoskeleton... it holds water in but won't let water out. Kinda cool right?
because arthropods are adapted to live almost everywhere
Arthropods adapted to an aquatic environment that need to extract oxygen from water will have gills, for instance most (but not all) crustaceans, like crabs and lobsters. Crabs can come on land so long as their gills are kept moist; those that do usually seek out damp habitats.
Why is a large heavy exoskeleton less limiting for arthropods that live in the water?that is not the answer!!
Water striders are classified as arthropods because of characteristics shared in common with other arthropods. It's important to remember the arthropod phylum (Arthropoda) is a very broad categorization of living things, characterized by jointed limbs, segmented bodies, and a hard exoskeleton. It includes all the insects. Water striders are considered "true bugs" or Hemiptera, along with aphids, shield bugs and leaf-hoppers; their order is classified below Insecta (the insect class).
No. Leeches are annelids, also known as segmented worms.
The animal that is adapted to conserve water might be livig near a lake,river,sea or ocean.But it is sure that it lives near water.
Malpighian tubules are the structures that help arthropods maintain water balance. These tubules are responsible for removing waste and regulating the concentration of solutes in the hemolymph, helping to conserve water in arthropods' bodies.

Desert biome contains plants and animals that are adapted to conserve water due to the low precipitation levels. These adaptations include water-storing tissues, reduced leaf surface area, and efficient water retention mechanisms.
A conifer leaf is a needle-like structure found on conifer trees such as pine, spruce, and fir. They are adapted to conserve water through a thick waxy cuticle on their surface, reduced surface area to minimize water loss, and sunken stomata that reduce water loss through transpiration. These adaptations help conifer trees survive in dry and cold environments.
Yes, many arthropods live in water, including species such as crayfish, shrimp, and water beetles. They have adapted to various aquatic environments and play important roles in freshwater and marine ecosystems.
Yes, the pads of a giant lily pad are adapted to conserve water. They have a waxy coating on their surface that helps reduce evaporation, and their shape helps to trap air, creating a cushion of air that further helps in conserving water. Additionally, the stomata (pores) on the upper side of the pad are only open during the night to minimize water loss through transpiration.
we have to conserve water to save our planet
Desert plants transpire less because they have adapted to conserve water in arid conditions. They have smaller leaves, often coated with wax or hair, to reduce water loss through evaporation. Additionally, they may open their stomata at night to minimize water loss during the hottest part of the day.
Forest conserve water because it's only circling tru the clouds
Coniferous trees, such as pines and firs, have adapted to conserve water in winter primarily through their needle-shaped leaves, which have a waxy coating that reduces water loss. These needles also have a smaller surface area compared to broad leaves, minimizing transpiration. Additionally, many conifers enter a state of dormancy during the winter months, slowing their metabolic processes and further conserving water. These adaptations enable them to survive in cold, dry environments where water availability is limited.
Plants in dry environments or desert plants typically have a lower water potential due to the high levels of solute concentrations in their cells. These plants have adapted to conserve water and thrive in arid conditions.
